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: 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: The Serpent King is what book clubs are for: to point out books I would never read on my own. I read the blurb, and was thinking to myself, no way am I going to enjoy this book. I even put off reading it until the very last minute. Literally the day before […]
Lynn’s Review: Reign of Shadows is a loosely based fairy tale retelling of Rapunzel. I say loosely based because the only connection I see is that Luna lives in a tower and is a secret princess. I don’t recall any zombies from reading Rapunzel as a child! Luna has always lived in a tower, […]
Lynn’s Review: Ruby Red is obviously the first book in a trilogy. But was more the set up for a trilogy, than a separate book. The first 120 pages are teen angst and more teen angst. Gwyn sees dead people. No one believes her, except her best friend Lesley. Gwyn’s cousin Charlotte is the […]
Julie’s Review: Well, I’m hooked. The first book intrigued me with the Norse mythology and made me want to know what happens next. This book kept up the intrigue, saved its secrets until the end, and let’s not forget to mention hot guy yummyness. Raine is becoming quite the heroine and we are finding out […]
Lynn’s Review: I had moderately high hopes for Storm. After all, I did purchase it. And nominate it for a book club read. But sadly, it didn’t really pan out. I started out loving Storm. Well, maybe loving is a bit strong. It was more I found Storm hilarious. Though, I’m guessing not as the […]
Description: Four waves of increasingly deadly attacks have left most of Earth in ruin. Against a backdrop of fear and distrust, Cassie is on the run, desperately trying to save her younger brother. As she prepares for the inevitable and lethal fifth wave, Cassie teams up with a young man who may become her final hope […]
Lynn’s Review: The is the second book I’ve read recently with tarot cards as major plot line. (Read my review of Book of Speculation here.) The two books are completely different, however. Starting with the fact that I actually enjoyed Poison Princess. Instead of reading the cards and family curses, the characters in Poison Princess […]
Lynn’s Review: Evan and Lucy are friends who have grown up together. At least until Lucy moves after her parents divorce. And now, the two friends only see each other during Christmas break. But this year, Lucy has changed from the girl next door to a goth next door, with black hair, loads of […]
