Flat Out Love Review

Flat Out Love Review

     Julie’s Review     I think it will be really hard for me to write this review with no spoilers, so: spoiler warning. I did enjoy this book, but I had some issues with it since I figured out the big secret early on. Then it was a bit frustrating to continue seeing the main […]

Falling Into You Review

Falling Into You Review

     Rose’s Review  Where to begin? Okay, this was sort of a difficult book for me to rate.  I liked a lot of aspects of the book and enjoyed listening to it (I “read” the audio version).  I would say it is more a 3.5 star book than just 3 stars.  The story is told from Nell’s […]

Otherborn Review

Otherborn Review

     Julie’s Review     Otherborn is a unique story.  It definitely is not what I expected. The world building is subtle and slow, where we do not learn all the rules right away. The characters are complicated and their “Others” drive the story as much as their main selves, maybe even more so. The story […]

The Program Review

The Program Review

     Julie’s Review       Book: What was really interesting and great about this story is despite the tragic backdrop, there is hope and true love. This is a society where teen suicide is an epidemic and the government created The Program to “cure” at-risk teens by erasing their memories. Some teens would rather “terminate” […]

Linked Review

Linked Review

   Julie’s Review     At first I thought Linked was a dystopian world where the government performed secret horrible experiments on twins. Then I thought it was a sci-fi space opera adventure story. It is really kind of both. This story is fast-paced and exciting, with twists and turns and danger. When Lissa and her twin, […]

Of Posiedon Review

Of Posiedon Review

     Julie’s Review     Of Poseidon was a free audiobook download part of the Sync summer reading program. I enjoyed the alternating point of views between Emma and Galin. The narrator did a good job and I liked the voices and the acting. I would listen to this narrator again. The book itself was kind […]

Cinder Review

Cinder Review

     Julie’s Review     Cinder is definitely a unique retelling of the Cinderella fairy tale. Cinder is an orphan with no memory of who she is. She was told she was in an accident, and needed to be “repaired”, which is why she is now a cyborg. Her adoptive step-father dies of the plague and […]

The Testing Review

The Testing Review

     Julie’s Review    This is a pretty interesting dystopia. The main character is a really smart and cool chick. She comes from a really smart family during a time when most of the Earth is destroyed and people are doing their best to engineer new technology to make water drinkable, crops able to grow, […]
