Should books have closure, even if they have a sequel or are in a series? Julie: YES! I absolutely prefer each book in a series to have their own ending, and then a set up for the following book. I hate cliffhangers – really not a fan. Also, can’t stand books that just STOP. That’s […]
Lynn’s Review: I was looking for romance with some plot and action to read and this book met all of my requirements. This book is clever, full of current pop culture refrences, and super sexy. I absolutely adored it. Ivy is the main character. She works for the Order, a group of people who know […]

Is there a book (or several books) that you’ve already read but would just love to be able to read for the first time? Julie: I’m not much of a re-reader, so there are a lot of books that I’ve already enjoyed, but don’t plan on enjoying again. Though it would be fun to enjoy […]

Lynn’s Review: There is a lot going on in this book. I don’t know if I’d recommend it for someone new to the series. But let’s start with a plot summary. Mac and Barrons and the rest of The Nine are trying to save the world from the Seelie and Unseelie. Christian MacKelter is […]
