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 […]

Every breath I breathe is because of you… The only bad thing I can possibly say about the final installment in the Breathing Trilogy by Rebecca Donovan is that it ends. I love this book. I love that the conclusion to Emma’s story is not all neat and tidy. Both Emma and Evan are damaged […]
Julie’s Review: This is one of those don’t judge a book by its cover type of books. The cover screams low budget and usually low budget covers mean low budget editing, and possibly even writing. But this book was very well written, the plot was exciting, and the characters were intriguing. I’m very happy […]
Rose’s Review So, Jamie McGuire’s new book, Red Hill, good? Bad? Ugly? Well I can tell you one thing, it definitely is not Beautiful. I mean, duh, it IS about Zombies, so who would expect beauty, but it also isn’t anything like her previous two books, Beautiful Disaster and Walking Disaster. The main […]
I begged for you to breathe with every breath I gave you. I kept pleading for you to breathe over and over again. And then… then you did. I liked this book even better than the first. Hands down my new favorite author is Rebecca Donovan. I know a lot of people out there […]
