Julie’s Review: I’m sad to say I was pretty underwhelmed with Under The Never Sky. I read so many glowing reviews, so my expectations were sky high on this one (pun intended). I guess you could say this novel fell into the pitfalls of hype category for me. It was very much a journey book, […]
Julie’s Review: The 5th Wave was one of those books that tries of offer a unique perspective on the human condition. I give it a very high 3.5 stars. I really liked Cassie and thought her reactions and behavior were relatable and real. She really gave a good understanding of what this type of alien […]
Julie’s Review: Cress is the third Lunar Chronicles book, and now it follows three characters. The first book was only Cinder, the second was both Scarlet and Cinder, and now we have Cress in addition to Scarlet and Cinder. I like how each book builds onto each character’s continuing story, while focusing on the […]
Julie’s Review: Let me just start out by saying that blurb is misleading… “Heart stopping?” No. “Thrilling?” No. “Shocking?” No. “Satisfying?” Yes. I loved the first two books in this series. LOVED Juliette and Adam in book 1, and LOVED even more having Warner get redeemed and all the feels of the triangle. But […]
Julie’s Review: Reading Enders was a struggle for me. I started out reading the e-galley, but put it down around 20% or so. Then I just didn’t pick it back up for quite a few months. Eventually I decided I have other books with higher priority to read with my limited sit down and read […]
Julie’s Review: Mila 2.0 is really about what it means to be human. Mila is a teenage girl living with her Mom in a small town and is enjoying talking to this great guy that she’s really into, and things seem normal. Well, until she has an accident and finds out that she doesn’t bleed, […]
Julie’s Review: I read several interviews where Ms. Jordan says outright that Uninvited is not a dystopia. I have to respectfully disagree. It is absolutely one. Just look at the definition: dys·to·pi·a n. 1. An imaginary place or state in which the condition of life is extremely bad, as from deprivation, oppression, or terror. 2. A work […]
Julie’s Review: Astral Tide is such an imaginative and unique story. The ethereal mood throughout is refreshing, since I don’t typically read many books involving another plane of existence. The Astral here is like a character rather than a place, which is pretty interesting. I liked the special abilities that the characters that have an […]
Julie’s Review I really enjoyed Cinder and thought Scarlet was an interesting sequel, but to me it wasn’t as good as Cinder. I liked the Scarlet was a tough redhead who didn’t back down or hide from danger. She’s a really cool character and I really liked her. Scarlet’s Grandmother is missing […]
Julie’s Review: The Blue Between is a pretty quick YA sci-fi that is pretty entertaining but left me wanting a bit more. I liked the premise – girl gets hit by lightning and all of a sudden starts disappearing and appearing in strange places, getting accused of being a runaway. Under hypnosis she realizes she’s […]
