I was sure before I even picked this one up that I was going to love it. And in a rare instance, I was right! Many times when I go in with high hopes, I get disappointed. But that was not the case with Defiance. The fact that I could connect enough for it to actually make me cry earned major bonus points for this book. I even knew the bad thing was going to happen, because I saw it coming, […]

I wanted to finish this one. I really did. Because it’s very similar to Stephen King’s The Mist and I loved that movie (didn’t read the book though). But, the prose was such a train wreck that I couldn’t even focus on what was happening anymore. Be warned, this may get ugly. The beginning started out pretty good, with some (fairly) well done 2nd person. The first paragraph (as seen above in the synopsis) was very catching, with the exception of […]

Not gonna lie, I really waffled on writing this review because I wasn’t sure what I was going to say. I liked it but it wasn’t amazing…the end. Ha. I’ve been looking for a good reaper book for a while, because I’ve read a few in the past that I didn’t care for at all. This book didn’t wow me like I had hoped, but it was a light and cute read! I was a little overwhelmed at first, because […]

When I first finished this book, my brain was jelly. It squashed my brain function, leaving me staring at the ceiling! I’ve been dying to read this one and I received it in the mail a week ago, but I had other books lined up that I needed to get done first. You know when you read a book and you’re so hyped about the next one, then you get it and suddenly you’re afraid to read it because you […]

What an interesting take on vampires! This one certainly was not what I was expecting. It was different from any other vamp story I’ve ever read. Which is refreshing, because frankly I’m getting a little sick of vampires. It was strange at some points, but the originality earned some major brownie points for me. The reviews on Goodreads definitely showed a love vs. hate with this book (as in, no in between), so I was kinda skeptical going in. But […]

The Community Link is peace. We are humanity sublime because we live in Community and favor above all else order, logic, and peace. Community first, Community always. I had a lot of mixed feelings about this book. The premise was awesome, but I felt the delivery was a bit lacking in parts, particularly with the world building. So, as per usual with me, let’s get the bad out of the way, then move to the good. Things I didn’t like: […]
