This book is very difficult for me to rate, because my thoughts about it were all over the place. There were some things I really loved, and some other things that I really didn’t love. In the beginning, I was SO onboard for this book! I was absolutely loving it. I was hooked from the start and totally intrigued by the idea of it all. I found it very engaging, and I was sure this was going to be a 5 […]

At first I could take or leave this story. While intrigued, I had some issues connecting in the beginning for two reasons: One, our MC is male, and two, the way the story was told. I’m not a fan of reading in a male’s POV, because well, I’m clearly a female, and I can’t relate. I can’t get on board a romance with another female because I like males. So automatically, the romance is out. As for the way the […]

How to review this book? I had some very mixed feelings about this book. The concept was actually quite brilliant, but I found the delivery to be lacking. The premise was pretty awesome! Very cool! That is mostly where my enjoyment ended. I didn’t care about any of the characters and couldn’t connect to Narissa. Actually, I didn’t like our lead female much at all. She was kind of immature and hypocritical. There were times where I actually hated her – […]

Aw man, Julie never disappoints! I always forget how much I miss this world until I step back into it again. I love it so much! I’m not much of a fan of fae stories these days, but I love the way Julie writes them. I’m sad to see this series end, but what a wonderful end it was! I looove how twisted the world was. The carnival tent in the Between was totally creepy! I was definitely cringing at […]

CAUTION: Spoilers if you haven’t read the series! Oh my gosh, how do I even review this?! I was completely blown away by this book. I think it was my favorite of the series, besides Prisoner of Azkaban (because Sirius Black, of course). My absolute favorite part of this book was Snape’s memories after his death. HOLY. SHIT. You guys, I was fucking bawling. I know he acted like a horrible person, and I probably shouldn’t romanticize him, but his […]

I am getting so addicted to this series! I love the magic of it, and Rowling has a way of pulling you in. This series will get under your skin! I think so far this has been my least favorite of the series, but I still enjoyed it. I have to admit I was a bit bored in the beginning at the Quidditch World Cup. It felt like it droned on and on, and I think some of that could […]
