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 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 – […]
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 […]
What a beautiful story! It was desperate and emotional with a lyrical and captivating prose. I liked Eva, and I felt bad for her. All her life she’d been trained to be somebody else, never really getting to just be herself. How awful would that be? Imagine not being about to do anything you want to do. You have to like certain things, do certain things, just because your Other does. If your Other gets a bad haircut, or a […]
I read almost all of this in one night…not exactly by choice: My Digital Editions copy was expiring, haha. But it was a pretty quick and easy read. Let’s get the things I didn’t like out of the way first. My main issue? The characters. I didn’t connect the way I hoped: In fact, I didn’t connect at all. My major complaint was the switching views. Normally I love it, because you can see different perspectives of the same story. But […]
Eve and Adam was a bit strange at times, but I loved the writing style because it was quirky and engaging. There was humor at frequent intervals (and some innuendos) and the prose held my interest even when there wasn’t really anything exciting happening. It was fairly short, so it was a quick and easy read. Evening was a solid lead. She was smart and witty and there was nothing she did in the book to annoy me, which is […]
