Julie’s Review: I put off reading Requiem because I was a bit disappointed with Pandemonium and read so many mixed reviews of this final book in the trilogy. Many reviews were critical at the open ending, but I’m happy to say, I found the ending satisfying enough. This review contains spoilers so you’ve been warned. […]
Julie’s Review: I definitely didn’t know what to expect with this book since the blurb is a bit mysterious but I admit this is a great book club selection. I was expecting some deep dark family secrets, but instead the “secrets much darker than she could have guessed” refers to the laws and practices in […]
Julie’s Review I really enjoyed Cinder and thought Scarlet was an interesting sequel, but to me it wasn’t as good as Cinder. I liked the Scarlet was a tough redhead who didn’t back down or hide from danger. She’s a really cool character and I really liked her. Scarlet’s Grandmother is missing […]
Julie’s Review: The Blue Between is a pretty quick YA sci-fi that is pretty entertaining but left me wanting a bit more. I liked the premise – girl gets hit by lightning and all of a sudden starts disappearing and appearing in strange places, getting accused of being a runaway. Under hypnosis she realizes she’s […]
Julie’s Review: I met Rose Garcia, a local Houston author at the Houston Book Rave in the fall. I was super excited that she gave me an ARC of Final Life when I told her I’m a local blogger. I read it quickly around Thanksgiving vacation, which was quite fun since the book starts right […]
Julie’s Review: The premise was interesting, but the story itself was mostly dull. I really didn’t connect with or care for the characters by the time happy(ish) ending rolled around I was thinking “meh”. There wasn’t much of an explanation or back-story (except a little from the big bad at the end), but I guess […]
Julie’s Review I kind of have mixed feelings about Untraceable. It started out very slow for me, in fact I read it for a book club and didn’t finish. This doesn’t usually happen. I thought all the detail about survival tips at the beginning was more info dump than world building. Ok, […]
Julie’s Review I’m really struggling writing this review. I really enjoyed Angelfall, and have been looking forward to reading this book for some time. Ok, so I didn’t have to wait several years like the people who read Angelfall when it first released, so I guess my wait wasn’t that intense. But, the […]
Julie’s Review: This book had a really good premise, but was boring, plain and simple. I gave up reading the ebook and switched to audio, and that helped. The narrator was great and did all the accents very well. I liked the concepts with the genetic engineering in food, animals, and people, but the story […]
