Lynn’s Review: If you are at all familiar with Chapter Break, you know how much Julie and I love Vampire Academy and Bloodlines. My first impression was YAY a new series by Richelle Mead! But then I read Glittering Court. And I wasn’t in love at all. There was no Dimitri fighting Strigoi. And no […]
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 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 […]
Lynn’s Review: Have you ever watched a movie trailer, thought that movie will be great, to only see the movie and realize all the funny bits were in the trailer? That’s how I feel about The Accidental Demon Slayer. All the funny bits combined were probably 20% of the book. And the rest was […]
Lynn’s Review: I had all the feels while listening to A Court of Thorns and Roses. I loved everything set in Pythia – the Fae, the magic. Even the Evil Queen. The humans and the human world left me a bit put-off. A Court of Thorns and Roses is a loosely based on Beauty and […]
Lynn’s Review: If you read my TWHS post last week, here’s my review for Winter Sea. If you didn’t, shame on you! Read it now. I’ll wait. Winter Sea is two books for the price of one. Carrie is an author, writing about the Jacobites in 1708 Scotland. Her main character is Sophia. Both find […]
Julie’s Review: The Sin Eater’s Daughter sounded like a fantasy type novel to me at first, but it turned out to be a lot more historical royal court drama and less fantasy. The story takes place in an ancient kingdom, where the people believe in various Gods and where the culture maintains customs that we find […]
Lynn’s Review: I completely blame Julie for my new obsession with the Vampire Academy books. Well, Julie, Richelle Mead, and Dimitri. In less than 3 months, I’ve read all six books. I thought I’d review the whole series. Spoilers, obvs. Book 1: Vampire Academy: I skipped the first book in this series and watched […]
Julie’s Review: Well, Rachel Vincent has done it again. What an imaginative and complicated world we get to know in Menagerie. The premise is the Cryptids have no status in society and are sold off as livestock essentially. They are kept in a circus, or in a personal collection, and are feared by everyone due to […]
Julie’s Review: Ooh what a wild ride Charley’s life is. This 8th installment doesn’t disappoint with all hell breaking lose as it always seems to do with Charley. Let’s list it out shall we? BEEP makes her debut into the world, and since Charley is in hiding from The Twelve, she’s stuck on the convent […]
