Julie’s Review: I was approached to review the audio book of Wings of Shadow specifically, and I agreed because the blurb sounded interesting, and I do love audio books. I don’t think I’ve heard any other books narrated by Meghan Lewis but I really enjoyed her narration of Wings of Shadow. Her accents were great, and I […]
Julie’s Review: The Coldest Girl in Coldtown was such a cool book (ok that was a bad pun). But really, I found it fun. I thought the way people get turned into vampires was pretty unique, since it deviated from the norm of either simply being bitten, or drinking vampire blood. In this book, someone […]
Julie’s Review: In Short: The Diviners was on my TBR for a while now and I bought the ebook when it was a daily deal. I finally got around to reading it when Rose’s book club picked it for February, but since I’m moving I knew I wouldn’t have time to actually read the book, […]
Julie’s Review: My Creatures book club read Lord of Thunder for our January meeting, and had the author, Linda Mooney, attend in person! She’s local(ish) and we’ve had her attend a meeting in the past and had a really fun time. This time was no different. We had a blast chatting with her about this […]
Julie’s Review: The Blue Between is a pretty quick YA sci-fi that is pretty entertaining but left me wanting a bit more. I liked the premise – girl gets hit by lightning and all of a sudden starts disappearing and appearing in strange places, getting accused of being a runaway. Under hypnosis she realizes she’s […]
Julie’s Review: I met Rose Garcia, a local Houston author at the Houston Book Rave in the fall. I was super excited that she gave me an ARC of Final Life when I told her I’m a local blogger. I read it quickly around Thanksgiving vacation, which was quite fun since the book starts right […]
Julie’s Review: The premise was interesting, but the story itself was mostly dull. I really didn’t connect with or care for the characters by the time happy(ish) ending rolled around I was thinking “meh”. There wasn’t much of an explanation or back-story (except a little from the big bad at the end), but I guess […]
Julie’s Review I’m really struggling writing this review. I really enjoyed Angelfall, and have been looking forward to reading this book for some time. Ok, so I didn’t have to wait several years like the people who read Angelfall when it first released, so I guess my wait wasn’t that intense. But, the […]
Julie’s Review: This is one of those don’t judge a book by its cover type of books. The cover screams low budget and usually low budget covers mean low budget editing, and possibly even writing. But this book was very well written, the plot was exciting, and the characters were intriguing. I’m very happy […]
