Julie’s Review: This is kind of a “smart” book, with all the scientific language and descriptions of the chemicals in the food, as well as body processes. The prologue is narrated in first-person, which is really effective as the speaker gets murdered in an attack and talks about the body shutting down. The plot […]
Description: Four waves of increasingly deadly attacks have left most of Earth in ruin. Against a backdrop of fear and distrust, Cassie is on the run, desperately trying to save her younger brother. As she prepares for the inevitable and lethal fifth wave, Cassie teams up with a young man who may become her final hope […]
Julie’s Review: is an exciting, fast-paced and action-packed dystopian. That right there is enough, right? Oh, you mean you want more? Ok. The world in Numbers Game is very controlling. Each citizen is rated based on their “worth” to society. They are given a number and a color – green, yellow, and red (where green […]
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 […]
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. […]
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 […]
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 […]
Lynn’s Review: Tricky Twenty-Two – or as I like to call it, the mis-adventures of Stephanie Plum, #22. You know what I like about the Stephanie Plum books? They are fun. And not serious in the least. And generally a pretty quick read. And no matter how messed up my life is, it’s NEVER as […]
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 […]
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 […]
