Otherborn Review

Otherborn Review

     Julie’s Review     Otherborn is a unique story.  It definitely is not what I expected. The world building is subtle and slow, where we do not learn all the rules right away. The characters are complicated and their “Others” drive the story as much as their main selves, maybe even more so. The story […]

The Program Review

The Program Review

     Julie’s Review       Book: What was really interesting and great about this story is despite the tragic backdrop, there is hope and true love. This is a society where teen suicide is an epidemic and the government created The Program to “cure” at-risk teens by erasing their memories. Some teens would rather “terminate” […]

Linked Review

Linked Review

   Julie’s Review     At first I thought Linked was a dystopian world where the government performed secret horrible experiments on twins. Then I thought it was a sci-fi space opera adventure story. It is really kind of both. This story is fast-paced and exciting, with twists and turns and danger. When Lissa and her twin, […]

The Memory of After Review

The Memory of After Review

       Julie’s Review      I would give this 3.5 stars. I really liked some parts, especially the beginning. Something would happen and shortly after the event no one else would remember. Her friend disappeared and no one else remembered she existed. Later into the book we learn they are in Level 2, which is […]
