I must say my favorite part about this book was the world building. The idea was brilliant! I mean seriously, just read that synopsis. It was just as awesome as it sounds! I find the whole concept simply fascinating, and I have to give major kudos to Amy Tintera for coming up with such a fresh and original idea. It’s definitely unlike anything I’ve ever seen or read before. But – at the same time, I would have liked to […]

Wowza! Unraveling blew my mind, and I shouldn’t have expected anything less from the sequel. It’s fast paced and will have you on the edge of your seat! I couldn’t get enough of this book – even when I wasn’t reading it, I was thinking about it. You can always count on Elizabeth Norris to yank the rug out from under you. There were a few times where I gasped out loud or just stared at the pages agape because […]

I really don’t think Julie could write a bad book if she tried. I have yet to read anything of hers that I didn’t love, and this was no exception! As far as vampire books go, this one is definitely one of the best I’ve ever read. Even better than the first book! Fast pacing and high action combine for a gripping, edge of your seat read! Something Julie is flippin’ amazing at is characterization. Each character has their own […]

*Huge thanks to Harper for providing a review copy! This one was very original, and I seriously love the concept. I do. BUT – the execution kind of ruined it for me. I’m going to be honest here, the world building was pretty crappy. I was confused about a lot of things, and I had a really hard time grasping the world. I couldn’t picture anything in my head, and much of it was so vague on description that I […]

Caution: Possible spoilers for the previous books! It’s strange to have this series come to an end. To be honest, there aren’t many series I’ve actually seen all the way through (seriously, I can count them on one hand), so it’s not a feeling I’m used to! (I have some serious series commitment issues O_O) But this was a perfect conclusion to a fabulous sci-fi trilogy! The best part: Centauri-Earth! EEP! We finally get to see it! And after the […]

Besides Taken, this was my most anticipated debut of 2013. Did it disappoint? It surely did not! There was plenty of action, and once this book grabs you it doesn’t let go. I positively LOVED the setting! There are not nearly enough futuristic stories that take place over the water. The idea of a future where Manhattan is almost entirely underwater is fascinating to me. And something cool came from all that water: Roofracing. Now, I tried not to think […]
