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 […]
Always in the shadows, draped in ivy and sorrow, the house waits for a child too daring for his own good. Yes, this book was kind of fluffy, but there was a decent undercurrent of darkness that I loved. Maybe it didn’t quite achieve the ominous feeling that the name implies, but it had its fair share of seriousness. I absolutely LOVED the magic of this story! I loved that there was always a high price for magic and I feel as […]
While I’m not a huge fan of aliens, I do love creepy abduction stories when they’re done well. The alien aspect of this book had me hooked! How much would it suck to disappear one day, only to reappear 5 years later – with absolutely NO recollection of what happened – and your life changed completely without you? I can’t even imagine! That was the most interesting part of the beginning for me. I have to admit, though, I got […]
I love Kelley’s Darkest Powers series, and I really enjoyed her Adult UF books featuring Elena Michaels. I thought for sure I’d love this one, since it sounded intriguing and I’ve liked her stories in the past. I did enjoy it, but I was disappointed somehow. It was good, but…forgettable. Which is sad, because the story line was unique. The writing didn’t wow me, though. What I did really love was that Ashyn and Moria’s companions were animals! I love any story where […]
So…I really don’t know how to write this review completely spoiler-free. So readers beware! While this book wasn’t quite as good as the rest of the series, I did enjoy it and it was a good ending to a great series! “You are my peace and my home. You are the everything.” You have to really feel for Jack and Nikki…despite everything they’ve done to be together, the world just keeps working against them. It’s very tragic! But the great […]
I didn’t care much for the delivery, but the concept was pretty cool. My favorite part was the idea of the memory chips that everyone has, which allow family members to access memories after the person’s death. This would be wonderful! If you lose a relative, you’ll always have something to remember them by. The whole music as a drug thing was awesome and original! The people do something called “tracking” – which is basically getting high off of music. And […]
