Julie’s Review: This book was an awesome Amazon freebie so I snatched it up and gave it a read. An actual book, not an audiobook. Can you believe it? Sure, it took a while with a chapter before bed but I did it. Goal of reading an actual book achieved this month. At first, this […]
Julie’s Review: It has been quite a while since I hung out with the characters in the Cassie Scot world, and I did miss them a bit. Kaitlin’s Tale is another spin-off to the Cassie Scot series, and the final book in that world. So I suppose reading it is a bit bittersweet. What I […]
Lynn’s Review: Are you participating in our Shelf Love challenge this year? Did you read the rules. Check out this fine print: You may use your library to obtain different formats of books you already own and count those towards your goal Because I never read the rules. So now that I know, I’m totally […]
Lynn’s Review: A Court of Mist and Fury is a complete 180 turn. In as much I loved Court of Thorns and Roses, I loved this even more. And that may seem unusual for a second book in a series. But it’s so very true. More feels. More tension. More everything I want in a book. […]
Julie’s Review: After perusing all the other reviews, I seriously feel like I missed something. Honestly, I can’t say if the book itself has problems because it is the audiobook that gave me trouble. The narrator, well, sounds like a little girl. A soft little girl voice that no matter how high I turned […]
Lynn’s Review: For a book with dragon in the title, A Shadow Soul was significantly lacking in actual dragons. The first brief mention is +190 pages in. The actual dragon doesn’t appear until +320 pages. Of a total 335 pages. A bit of a let down there. Instead, we have Jin and Rhen, searching for […]
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 […]
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 […]
Julie’s Review: I love Hawaii. I love the island culture, the delicious breeze that always smells like coconut, and the beautiful landscapes. So reading this book was a little bit of a nostalgic vacation for me, and that made it a fun selection. I enjoyed the descriptions of the lands and the people, as well […]
