Lynn’s Review: Reign of Shadows is a loosely based fairy tale retelling of Rapunzel. I say loosely based because the only connection I see is that Luna lives in a tower and is a secret princess. I don’t recall any zombies from reading Rapunzel as a child! Luna has always lived in a tower, […]
Lynn’s Review: Ruby Red is obviously the first book in a trilogy. But was more the set up for a trilogy, than a separate book. The first 120 pages are teen angst and more teen angst. Gwyn sees dead people. No one believes her, except her best friend Lesley. Gwyn’s cousin Charlotte is the […]
Julie’s Review: I really enjoyed the Cassie Scot series and was happy to devour it as part of the author’s promotional tours. So I jumped when given the opportunity to review this audiobook spin-off novel with a side character in the original series. While the original series is a 4-star read for me, this spin-off […]
Lynn’s Review: I completely blame Julie for my new obsession with the Vampire Academy books. Well, Julie, Richelle Mead, and Dimitri. In less than 3 months, I’ve read all six books. I thought I’d review the whole series. Spoilers, obvs. Book 1: Vampire Academy: I skipped the first book in this series and watched […]
Lynn’s Review: I was pleasantly surprised by Brotherhood of the Blade. Granted, my expectations weren’t very high, but still, I enjoyed it. I was never a huge fan of Grey in the books. I never found him very interesting. When he “married” Claire at the end of Echo (or was it MOBY, I can’t […]
Julie’s Review: Well, I’m hooked. The first book intrigued me with the Norse mythology and made me want to know what happens next. This book kept up the intrigue, saved its secrets until the end, and let’s not forget to mention hot guy yummyness. Raine is becoming quite the heroine and we are finding out […]
Lynn’s Review: I can wrap up my feelings about Etiquette & Espionage in one word: meh. The elements I’m interested in where there. But still, meh. I even stopped the audio during the big climatic fight scene at the end because I just didn’t care. Etiquette & Espionage is: steam punk historical has a plucky […]
Julie’s Review: Defects is a great dystopia full of action and betrayal and psychic abilities. I loved that this book doesn’t follow the trope of our heroine finding out she’s something special and taking a long time to accept her new existence. This story drops us into the Dream Traveler’s world, where everyone has special […]
Julie and I have decided that since loads of other bloggers have posted reviews of Winter, we’d take a different approach. We totally stole Bookworm Brandee’s Blogger Chick Chat idea, and went with a chat instead. Spoilers, obvs. And following our usual pattern, Julie’s chatting is in purple. My chatting is in blue. Excuse the […]
Lynn’s Review: I had moderately high hopes for Storm. After all, I did purchase it. And nominate it for a book club read. But sadly, it didn’t really pan out. I started out loving Storm. Well, maybe loving is a bit strong. It was more I found Storm hilarious. Though, I’m guessing not as the […]
