To be honest, I was a little nervous going into this. I wanted to read it really badly because of the amazing cover and interesting synopsis, but at the same time – I hated Die for Me. HATED. But thankfully, this was much different! I feel as if Amy Plum’s writing style has vastly improved since the Revenants series, and I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this book! I’ll admit it was a little overwhelming at first because there […]
While I never posted a review for The Program back when I read it (I lost ALL my notes…fail me), I absolutely loved it. I think I gave it 4.5 out of 5. While I feel like some of that magic was lost somewhere between the first and second book, I still enjoyed the sequel. I do have to say that the pacing dragged a bit in the first half for me. I was actually a little bored with it. […]
Boy, was I looking forward to this book. Because DRAGONS. But…meh. First of all, I was expecting this awesome Urban Fantasy, and it ended up being a cookie-cutter Dystopian with dragons thrown in the mix. That was my first problem. My second problem was that the character interaction and dialogue was just…absurd. “Put these on if it’s too bright for you, Callahan. We don’t want you squinting like you’re blocked up or something.” Um…oookaaay. Who says that? And […]
I loved The Rules. LOVED it (I rated it 5 heartbeats!). Sadly, though, the sequel lacked the magic of the first book. I still enjoyed it for the most part, but it didn’t wow me like the first book did. I felt like little to nothing actually happened in the first 3/4 of this book, and the pacing dragged in the middle. It was mostly Zane and Ariane bickering and disagreeing and keeping things from each other. I understand that conflict […]
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 […]
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 […]
