The New Agenda Review

The New Agenda Review

 Julie’s Review: The New Agenda is treated more like a prequel than a continuation of the story from The City Center. Ava links into the mainframe to try to find Morray, and finds his memory archive – from there we follow William Morray’s coming of age story. While this was an interesting way to present […]

The Short Life of Sparrows Review

The Short Life of Sparrows Review

 Julie’s Review: The Short Life of Sparrows is beautifully written and is a breath of fresh air in the coming-of-age paranormal genre. I’m gonna list this out, because lists. Love the lists. Things I loved about The Short Life of Sparrows: How this book has a dual narration, but the narrators are not the couple. […]

Book Review – The Kind Worth Killing

Book Review – The Kind Worth Killing

  Lynn’s Review: Honestly, I don’t even know where to begin with this review. The plot is way too complicated to summarize without spoiling any details. The story is told from the point of view of four different narrators. I am not even sure which one is the main characters. All I’m sure of is […]

Menagerie Review

Menagerie Review

 Julie’s Review: Well, Rachel Vincent has done it again. What an imaginative and complicated world we get to know in Menagerie. The premise is the Cryptids have no status in society and are sold off as livestock essentially. They are kept in a circus, or in a personal collection, and are feared by everyone due to […]

Aurora Sky Review

Aurora Sky Review

 Julie’s Review: I generally enjoyed Aurora Sky and thought the book had an interesting premise. I liked how the vampire hunters were selected by the Government based on their special blood type and were found out about after they nearly died and needed the special medical attention the Government agency was able to provide. In […]

Book Review – Baby, It’s Cold Outside

  Lynn’s Review: I wanted to review a “holiday” book this year, but needless to say time got away from me, and I didn’t have a chance to finish until this week. I won this book, along some others from Kim at Read Your Writes Book Reviews. Thanks, Kim, for the holiday reads! I thought, since […]

Book Review – Poison Princess

Book Review – Poison Princess

Lynn’s Review: The is the second book I’ve read recently with tarot cards as major plot line. (Read my review of Book of Speculation here.) The two books are completely different, however. Starting with the fact that I actually enjoyed Poison Princess. Instead of reading the cards and family curses, the characters in Poison Princess […]

Veiled Review

Veiled Review

 Julie’s Review: Unfortunately, did not work for me. I almost DNF’d this book twice (but instead took a break and listened to something else and then came back to it to try again). The idea was an interesting one – a story of the Earth’s creation from the perspective of the spirit world. From the […]
