While I still enjoyed this one, the series has been going slightly downhill since the first book. I gave Hush, Hush 4.5 starfish, Crescendo 4 starfish, now this one 3.5…. I don’t have a whole lot to say about this book because honestly I feel like there wasn’t much to it. There was hardly anything happening plot-wise. Most of it was Nora trying to get her memories back – which was extremely frustrating for me as a reader, because I already knew everything […]

First of all, this book is NOT about the Underworld. It’s about a girl who spends 20 minutes in the Underworld then spends the rest of the story adjusting to life after a NDE (near death experience). I cannot express how disappointed I am that the Underworld parts were so tiny. There were far too many things that were either absurd or made absolutely no sense. 1) John’s age didn’t add up. When she was in the cemetery for her […]

So, this is the second time I’ve read this book….and I remembered absolutely nothing. I mean, I could remember bits and pieces, but all of the important stuff? Gone. So it was kind of like reading this for the first time again. I felt disappointed with this the first time….I don’t know why, because it was really good the second time! Not quite as good as Hush, Hush was, but there were so many twists and surprises that I was […]

I love mythology! That was what drew my interest to this one. I think my expectations were a little too high, though. It was a pleasure to work with Kelly on her blog tour, so it makes me sad to say I was disappointed with Touch of Death. It’s so, so hard to write a not-so-great review for an author you like, and pretty much everyone else loved it…maybe it’s just me :(  Don’t get me wrong, I still enjoyed it […]

Imagine a world with no electricity. No cell phones, no internet or computers, no television. No way to use debit or credit cards. Mass panic and looting abound, you can’t trust anyone and you have to fight for necessities like food and water. You have to fight for survival. I sure as hell wouldn’t want to live in that world! The thought of it is terrifying, even more so that it could actually happen. And to think how dependent we […]

I’d say I was disappointed, but to be honest I didn’t go into this one with very high hopes. Then why the crap did you even read it, you ask? Well, I thought to broaden my reading horizons. Brilliant idea, Geo. *sarcasm* I think the issue here is that this book just wasn’t for me. I love music, yes, but all of the bands mentioned in this book were either ones I hadn’t heard, or just plain hadn’t heard of. […]
