Mini Review: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J.K. Rowling

Posted by Jessi (Geo) on September 14, 2015 | 2 Comments

I think this is probably my favorite of the series. I just love the underlying mystery, and the secrecy of the Chamber! This story is exciting from start to finish! Just like the first one, I don’t feel like I gained very much from reading the book after already seeing the movie because it’s so similar. But I still thoroughly enjoyed it! I did notice a few minute differences – like, they left Peeves completely out! And the creepy weird […]

Review: The Fire Wish by Amber Lough

This is a hard review to write, because this book didn’t really do anything for me either way. I didn’t love it, and I didn’t hate it. It was just….meh. It wasn’t bad – it held my interest well enough and wasn’t a struggle to read – but it wasn’t really that great, either. You know the kind of book that’s alright when you read it, but you don’t retain anything from it and you will probably forget about it […]

Review: Hunter by Mercedes Lackey

What a fabulous concept! I think that was the driving point of this novel for me. I highly enjoyed the world and all of the monsters. I also loved the Hunters and the fact that they had a celebrity status – all of the costumes and colors reminded me a bit of the way the Jaeger pilots were portrayed in the beginning of Pacific Rim! This book was certainly cinematic – it would be awesome as a movie! There was […]

Review: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone by J.K. Rowling

ABOUT TIME, RIGHT?! *coughs* Yeah, it took me long enough, I know. Honestly though, I’d seen all of the movies, so I knew the gist of it (yes, I know, books always have more detail than the movies), so I had no desire to read them. I’ve been meaning to forever, I just…couldn’t bring myself to. Until finally, I drew it from my TBR jar! I’m going to be honest, I had actually tried reading this a couple years ago – […]

The Nightmare Charade Blog Tour: Review & Giveaway

Posted by Jessi (Geo) on August 4, 2015 | 3 Comments

What a satisfying end to an adorable series! It’s been a long time since I read the second book, but I was thrilled to jump back into this magical world. I absolutely LOVE the magic in this book! It seemed like Dusty and Eli’s relationship was always difficult. If it wasn’t one thing getting in between them, it was another. I loved that they still stayed strong despite it all, though! They didn’t give up on each other. I adore […]

Mini Review: The Witch Hunter by Virginia Boecker

Posted by Jessi (Geo) on May 29, 2015 | 1 Comment

I was really impressed with Virginia Boecker’s prose. It was engaging, so even when there was a lull in the plot or action, I was still interested in the story! I freaking loved George! He cracked me up! I was really hoping in the beginning that he was going to be the love interest. (*sighs wistfully*) I also really liked Fifer! She was feisty, and even though she came off as a hard ass (or worse), she totally won me […]
