Julie’s Review: I grabbed Monstrous Beauty at the library after reading a different book by this author. I immensely enjoyed her storytelling style and wanted more. I’m so glad I did. Monstrous Beauty is different, erie, and a bit gothic. I love a good mermaid fantasy, and really need to read more of them. […]
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 […]
Julie’s Review: I really enjoyed the first installment of the Raven series. It had just enough teenage girl angst to be interesting and let the main character Piper be relatable without coming across as teenage drama queen. The book certainly took its time developing Piper and her struggle to accept her mother’s death and having […]
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: Second novels in a series are usually problematic. Not Mirror Mage! I already shared how much I enjoyed Ancient Magic, and now I’ve had the chance to devour the next book too! What a great reading month it has been! The story line gets more complex; the situation far more dangerous. Cass is […]
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 […]
Julie’s Review: I’m excited to have gotten a chance to read because it was just what I needed. A fast-paced, exciting magical romp with kick-ass female characters, and a hot Scot to boot! Cassie and her friends don’t have memories of their youth but know that someone is out for them and that they are a […]
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 […]
Julie’s Review: I really enjoyed the Cassie Scot series and was happy to devour it as part of the author’s promotional tours. So I jumped when given the opportunity to review this audiobook spin-off novel with a side character in the original series. While the original series is a 4-star read for me, this spin-off […]
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 […]
