Julie’s Review: Maybe Someday is such a unique experience. It has to be the first book I’ve ever read (or really heard of) with its own soundtrack! Yes, that’s right, the amazing Griffin Peterson (you know, the yummy musician who posed for the cover of Losing Hope) has written some really cool songs for this […]
Julie’s Review: The Coldest Girl in Coldtown was such a cool book (ok that was a bad pun). But really, I found it fun. I thought the way people get turned into vampires was pretty unique, since it deviated from the norm of either simply being bitten, or drinking vampire blood. In this book, someone […]
Julie’s Review: I read several interviews where Ms. Jordan says outright that Uninvited is not a dystopia. I have to respectfully disagree. It is absolutely one. Just look at the definition: dys·to·pi·a n. 1. An imaginary place or state in which the condition of life is extremely bad, as from deprivation, oppression, or terror. 2. A work […]
Julie’s Review: In Short: The Diviners was on my TBR for a while now and I bought the ebook when it was a daily deal. I finally got around to reading it when Rose’s book club picked it for February, but since I’m moving I knew I wouldn’t have time to actually read the book, […]
Julie’s Review: I’m not really sure what to make of All The Truth That’s In Me. I definitely did not find it “riveting” as the audiobook cover quote says, and based on the other reviews I see on Goodreads, it might just be me. The narrator did a good job, and the writing was very […]
Julie’s Review: Starters has a very Dollhouse feel to it, so I was immediately intrigued. We have a post-war world where only the young and the very old survived because they were the first to be vaccinated. In this world, the “Enders” aka the elderly actually live about double our normal life-span, and now they […]
Julie’s Review: I put off reading Requiem because I was a bit disappointed with Pandemonium and read so many mixed reviews of this final book in the trilogy. Many reviews were critical at the open ending, but I’m happy to say, I found the ending satisfying enough. This review contains spoilers so you’ve been warned. […]
Julie’s Review: I definitely didn’t know what to expect with this book since the blurb is a bit mysterious but I admit this is a great book club selection. I was expecting some deep dark family secrets, but instead the “secrets much darker than she could have guessed” refers to the laws and practices in […]
Julie’s Review I really enjoyed Cinder and thought Scarlet was an interesting sequel, but to me it wasn’t as good as Cinder. I liked the Scarlet was a tough redhead who didn’t back down or hide from danger. She’s a really cool character and I really liked her. Scarlet’s Grandmother is missing […]
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 […]
