Split Review

Split Review

   Rose’s Review: I purchased this book at the same time I purchased Breathing Underwater, which I chose to read first.  See my review of that book here.  My first reaction when after I began reading Split? This is how Breathing Underwater should have been!  This is not a book to just gloss over. It […]

Breathing Underwater Review

Breathing Underwater Review

   Rose’s Review: I was excited to read this book. I thought it would be a gritty book about an abusive teenaged relationship.  I have never read a book like that.  I thought that it was interesting that this book was told from the abuser’s point of view.  While I will give props to the […]

Anna Dressed in Blood Review

Anna Dressed in Blood Review

     Julie’s Review I really enjoyed this ghost story. I loved Anna. I loved Anna the scary monster ghost and Anna the sad girl ghost. The descriptions in this book were so vivid and detailed. I really want to see a detailed illustration of what Anna looks like. The dress she wears that is […]

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 […]

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 […]

Rush Review

Rush Review

  Rose’s Review        Maya Banks visited Katy Budget Book Store last month and I had the wonderful opportunity to meet her and even get my books signed.  I first learned of Maya Banks via a friend whom just received an ARC for Rush and since she could not say enough good things about the book […]
