Caution: May contain spoilers for Anna Dressed in Blood I’ve been seeing everyone rave about how amazing this book was, how it was even better than the first….but I was disappointed. It didn’t even come close to comparing to Anna (which I rated 4 stars). There was a major disconnect from the story for me. I don’t exactly know why, but I couldn’t muster up any emotion at all. I didn’t care about the characters or what was happening. Honestly, I […]

This is the third time I’ve read this book. I read it the first time and loved it, then read it a second time so I could be refreshed before reading Crescendo. It is SO hard to review re-reads because when you already know what happens it’s difficult to be objective. There is no shock or surprise in the twists. I’m not real big on angel books, but this one is an exception for me. I have yet to find […]

Let’s start with a story, shall we? When I was around page 80 or so, I had a desperate urge to play Black Ops II (my current gaming addiction). After a brief argument with myself, I promised myself that if I made it to page 150  (because after all, what is a good relationship without compromise?), I could be rewarded with some beloved Domination and murder. What I didn’t expect was that an hour later I would so engrossed in this book […]

I was a little disappointed in this one. I love the world of Lux, but I can’t quite give it 5 stars like I gave the last two. I felt like there was a little less action in this one, and it was missing something – I just can’t really put my finger on exactly what. Don’t get me wrong, I still enjoyed it, there was just a disconnect for some reason. It makes me sad… I still loved Daemon – […]

Oh lord. Honestly, I’m not sure how I even finished this book. Morbid curiosity? The need to see liars and cheaters have everything blow up in their faces? Who knows. But somehow I managed to stick it through to the end. So, the characters. Good God. I don’t think I’ve ever met so many characters I wanted to flog in one single book. So many vapid, shallow characters! We’ll start with Em. I despised her. With the fire of a […]

Review: The Evolution of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin

Where do I even start? This book was creepy and riveting! It was so, so much better than The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer (which I rated 3.5 stars – good but not great). The pacing was much faster and picked up earlier on, and there were also interesting things happening more frequently. I had some trouble remembering what happened in the first book because it’s been a year since I read it. But thankfully this one has plenty of reminders, so […]
