Julie’s Review: I didn’t realize this book was the sixth in a series when I requested it for review from Audiobook Boom. That might have been an oops on my part, but that didn’t keep me from enjoying the story. Yes, I would definitely have benefited from getting to know the characters over multiple books, […]
Julie’s Review: I’m seriously a fan of this series. As I’ve said in my reviews of Ancient Magic and Mirror Mage, the characters are fun and quirky and the adventures are fast-paced and exciting. The got-your-back friendships in this series continue to impress me. People who put themselves on the line for each other are a […]
Lynn’s Review: Lady Midnight is another story in the continuing saga of the Shadowhunters by Cassandra Clare. This time out, we learn about Emma Carstairs and Julian Blackthorn. Parabatai. Best friends. And maybe a little bit more. I have mixed feelings about Lady Midnight. Parts I did thoroughly enjoy. And parts that I’m still confused […]
Julie’s Review: Second novels in a series are usually problematic. Not Mirror Mage! I already shared how much I enjoyed Ancient Magic, and now I’ve had the chance to devour the next book too! What a great reading month it has been! The story line gets more complex; the situation far more dangerous. Cass is […]
Julie’s Review: I love a good vampire novel. I read a lot of them, and so I feel like I have a general expectation for the genre. Raphael was decent, but I expected more. I but didn’t really love it, didn’t hate it. It was just there. I did like our leading lady. Cyn is […]
Julie’s Review: I’m excited to have gotten a chance to read because it was just what I needed. A fast-paced, exciting magical romp with kick-ass female characters, and a hot Scot to boot! Cassie and her friends don’t have memories of their youth but know that someone is out for them and that they are a […]
Julie’s Review: The Heart Thief has an intriguing premise and the cover gives it an ethereal feel, so I expected a whimsical paranormal YA. But this isn’t too whimsical, and I would say a bit dark and twisted for a YA novel. This book was a gruesome part police procedural with a creepy serial killer, […]
Lynn’s Review: Let’s just get this out of the way – Not. Enough. Evan. Walker. In this book. Source Though, seriously, Evan Walker does make me wonder why we are attracted to the hero type. Always sacrificing himself for us. Definitely appealing to me, at least. Also, I now visualize the actors from the movie […]
Julie’s Review: Numbers Ignite was a good middle book. But that is definitely what it is – a transitional middle book in a series. It has the job of bridging the chaos and setting up the plot for the big finale by agitating the problem, or creating a new one. And this book? It created […]
It’s time for another Bookish Chat with Julie and Lynn. Where we chat about a book. Because it’s more interesting (and easier) than a review! Also, it is way more fun! So let’s jump right into our Bookish Chat on . I was re-reading the description. And I really do not like […]
