Rose’s Review: Okay, so this is one of those books that I had high hopes for, but fell flat for me. It had all the makings of a rescue the damsel in distress, knight in shining armor kind of fairy tale to it. What can I say? I am a sucker for a guy […]

Rose’s Review: When I first heard of this synopsis, I was immediately interested in reading this book. I myself took a long road trip the year after graduating high school in a small northern town and drove to Texas, logging some 4000 miles. This was roughly around the same time that Angeli was making her trek across the […]
Rose’s Review: Let me just state that if I turned into a zombie and ended up spending my zom-days lumbering around my job site, I would be one disappointed soul. Wait, do zombies even have souls?

Rose’s Review: So, yet another book I read over summer vacation that all of my notes got wiped away… I will attempt to review Real based solely on what I remember about the book. This is an adult contemporary romance. I would not really consider it NA. I see that some people regard it […]
Julie’s Review Overall, I give The Midnight Spell a good solid 3 stars. I liked The Midnight Spell even though I have some complaints. The parts that I did enjoy were quite awesome, and the parts I wasn’t as happy about did not detract from the story too much. The Midnight Spell […]
Julie’s Review Overall I think I give this book a 2.5 star rating. It did not start out good for me, but the book did end on a good note. I picked this up as a freebie a while back and read it now for a book club meeting. Honestly, if it […]
Julie’s Review Grave Mercy was a really great concept to me. I mean, it starts out with the main character Ismae is mistreated by her “father” because her true father is Death (St. Mortain). Ismae is forced into a marriage and her new husband shows signs that he will abuse her, […]
