Julie’s Review: I liked Izzy in the Hex Hall trilogy so having a spin-off with her as the main character is a great idea. I like spin-off novels because the world and characters are already familiar to me and so the story can take me away into a familiar fun reading time. I really liked […]
Julie’s Review: Death, Doom and Detention struck me as a fun title with an intriguing blurb – so I decided to give it a listen. I loved the prologue in all the creepy glory. I really enjoyed the refreshing jumping right into the story with the heroine and her friends already knowing about the Supernatural […]
Lynn’s Review: Now this is the type of fantasy book I can get behind. A fantasy book with a female main character. One who isn’t there just to decorate the page and hang off the arm of a male main character. Throne of Glass is about Celaena Sardothien, an assassin for hire who’s been […]
Julie’s Review: Wow, the Fiery Heart definitely heated this series up! I’m already a convert to the amazing Adrian but seriously, how do you not swoon over this dude! Sydney never stops amazing with her brilliance and definitely surprises with the development in her character since Bloodlines. I’m so rooting for both of them and […]
Julie’s Review: Spell Bound is a great ending to the Hex Hall series. Sophie is even more kick ass and brave than before, and still her awkward sarcastic self. She has to overcome new struggles and deal with new magical issues. I like how she continues to learn more about her family history and learns […]
Julie’s Review: I didn’t enjoy Demonglass as much as I enjoyed Hex Hall. I still liked it quite a bit though. The characters are interesting and I enjoyed getting to learn about Sophie’s Dad and all the Council stuff going on in England. The story unfolded in a similar way as Hex Hall, where we […]
Julie’s Review: Bloodlines is my first spin-off type novel. I really enjoyed the Vampire Academy series (Dimitri is my book boyfriend) and so after having this series recommended to me for some time, decided to give it a try. This first book was pretty good, but not as good as I was expecting. It didn’t […]
Julie’s Review: Hex Hall is probably the first book I truly enjoyed in MONTHS! Finally I came across a book that might get me out of my rut? The first thing that I immediately liked was Sophie already knew something about her special abilities, so this book did not fall into the way overused trope […]
Julie’s Review: I really liked the concept of Dorothy Must Die because The Wizard of Oz is one of my favorite stories, and spin offs can be really fun – I mean Wicked is the coolest thing EVER. I also liked having the characters turn evil and be different from how they were the first […]
Julie’s Review: Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children started off great with a lot of mystery and intrigue and action. We almost immediately get introduced into the world of Peculiars by way of Jacob’s Grandfather, and his untimely and strange death. Jacob then decides to go on a quest of his own to figure out […]
