Julie’s Review: This book, ugh. It just left me feeling underwhelmed, and while I was reading I kept wanting to speed it up and kept losing my focus. The audiobook was great – both narrators are good voice actors and are enjoyable to listen to. I actually couldn’t speed it up because the voices were […]
Lynn’s Review: It’s been 9 years since we last met up with Philip Mercer, the globe-trotting, disaster-diverting, geologist from Jack DuBrul. Mr. DuBrul has been off co-writing the Juan Cabrillo books with Clive Cussler. (You can read my review of the latest Cabrillo, Piranha, novel here.) . And now, he’s back writing the Mercer […]
Julie’s Review: You know how much I love this author (I even mention her in our author crush post). So then you know how excited I was to read her recent release. The premise for The Stars Never Rise is quite exciting; I mean, I eat up stories about demons and exorcists (or slayers, or […]
Lynn’s Review: Dear Jay – And Rule, Jet, Rome, Nash, Rowdy, and Asa I have thoroughly enjoyed the Marked Men series. And I’m kind of sad to see that it’s finished. But great job with the last two paragraphs in Asa, wrapping up the entire series with happily ever after for all of […]
Julie’s Review: I really liked Rippler, but then I didn’t like it as much as hoped I would. Let me explain, and start with what I liked. I really enjoyed the way the story unfolded, the way we were immediately throw into finding out what was special about Samantha, and knowing that Will knew all […]
Lynn’s Review: Warning: Get out the tissues before reading this book. Isla and the Happily Ever After is the third book in the Anna and the French Kiss series by Stephanie Perkins. Isla (pronounces EYE-LA) is a senior at the School of America in Paris. She’s at the top of her class, always follows […]
Julie’s Review: I have a whole bunch of mixed feelings about Rosemary and Rue, so let me just share them all with you. Firstly, being a fae book, there’s always the business of courts and queens and people being snobby. The majority of the book does not take place in a faery court, and I’m […]
Lynn’s Review: Prisoner is the second book in The Traveler series by Dennis W. Green. (You can read my review of Traveler here.) Trav Becker is back. Along with all of the other Travs. And Sams. A year has past since the first book in the series. A year in which Trav has moved […]
Julie’s Review: Unwind caught me by surprise and blew me away. Seriously, it tackles a very sensitive topic head-on (abortion) and creates a scary world where unwanted children can be “storked” (abandoned on someone’s doorstep) and can later be “unwound” rather than aborted. Unwinding is taking someone apart organ by organ to use for transplants […]
Lynn’s Review: If you’ve ever read a contemporary science fiction book and wondered why there is no mention of any other contemporary science fiction in the book, then Armada is the book for you. In Armada, Ernest Cline posits that for forty years, society has been enjoying science fiction in movies, tv, and books […]
