Review: The Farm by Emily McKay

Posted by Jessi (Geo) on October 21, 2014 | 4 Comments

This book was just….there. It wasn’t bad necessarily, but it wasn’t really all that good either. I felt NOTHING while reading. Absolutely nothing. No intrigue, no disgust (and there were plenty of disgusting things), no emotion whatsoever. Not good. I think that’s what ultimately scored such a low rating for this book is that I didn’t give a crap about the story or the characters. Even when things were actually happening I didn’t care. There was no anticipation, no suspense. The whole abductura […]

Review: In a Handful of Dust by Mindy McGinnis

I loooved Not a Drop to Drink. I gave it 4.5 heartbeats in my review (the link is below if you want to see it). I’m sad to say that this one didn’t quite live up to the first book. But, I did still enjoy it. The pacing was a tad painful at first. I had a lot of trouble getting into it, despite how excited I was to read it. It didn’t start picking up until after 35%, but after that […]

Review: The Forever Song by Julie Kagawa

I will try my best not to include spoilers outside of spoiler tags, but it is very difficult to talk about without spoiling anything, so beware! I say this in every review of a Julie Kagawa book: Julie cannot write a bad book. It’s just not possible. There hasn’t been a single book she’s written that I didn’t love, and this one was no exception!! I was sad to see this trilogy end, but I loved the way everything was wrapped […]

Review: Ruins by Dan Wells

“Waging war is the easy part – making peace will be the hardest thing we’ve ever done.” Dan Wells is a pro at storytelling. He brings the world to life! It’s always so easy to imagine the story as real because everything is so convincing. The world & setting is by far my favorite part of this entire series – the world building is cinematic! “You weren’t ‘designed’ to cure RM, but you did it anyway. You weren’t designed to […]

Review: Cured by Bethany Wiggins

Posted by Jessi (Geo) on February 25, 2014 | 6 Comments

I loved Stung. LOVED it. The world was amazing, the idea of it was unique and intriguing, and the beasts were scary. I rated it 4.5 stars. Somewhere between Stung and Cured, the magic was lost. Don’t get me wrong, I still enjoyed it. But, there was none of the epic world building that I adored so much in the first book. There was little to no talk about the bees or the virus, and the beasts only made an […]

Review: Angelfall by Susan Ee

Man. I was really looking forward to reading this book, as I’d seen SO many glowing 5 star reviews about how AMAZING it was. Guess what? Black sheep again. It’s not that I didn’t like it, but I didn’t necessarily like it either, if that makes sense. It was one of those books. You know, the books you read that you don’t really care about either way, that don’t give you much inspiration or make a lasting impression on you. My overall […]
