Julie’s Review: I feel like I’ve been in a reading rut lately because a lot of the books I’ve read have just been a little meh. How do you know when you’re in a reading rut? Well, when you finally read a book that is excellent, you feel it! You just have this exciting tingly […]
Julie’s Review: I put off reading Requiem because I was a bit disappointed with Pandemonium and read so many mixed reviews of this final book in the trilogy. Many reviews were critical at the open ending, but I’m happy to say, I found the ending satisfying enough. This review contains spoilers so you’ve been warned. […]
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 […]
Julie’s Review: I met Rose Garcia, a local Houston author at the Houston Book Rave in the fall. I was super excited that she gave me an ARC of Final Life when I told her I’m a local blogger. I read it quickly around Thanksgiving vacation, which was quite fun since the book starts right […]
Julie’s Review I kind of have mixed feelings about Untraceable. It started out very slow for me, in fact I read it for a book club and didn’t finish. This doesn’t usually happen. I thought all the detail about survival tips at the beginning was more info dump than world building. Ok, […]
I begged for you to breathe with every breath I gave you. I kept pleading for you to breathe over and over again. And then… then you did. I liked this book even better than the first. Hands down my new favorite author is Rebecca Donovan. I know a lot of people out there […]
Julie’s Review: I don’t think I quite understood that Gated was going to be a book about a cult, so when the weird creepy leader guy kept feeding the people in the Community all these lies, I kept wondering when people would catch on. Then I re-read the blurb and realized nope they’re not […]
Julie’s Review: I’m going to start this review off by sharing a tweet I posted when I finished the book. Just took a 2 hour bath and finished reading The Eternity Cure. My body feels good but my heart hurts. — Julie S. (@juliecookies) November 24, 2013 Wow this book… I had a […]
Rose’s Review: I purchased this book at the same time I purchased Breathing Underwater, which I chose to read first. See my review of that book here. My first reaction when after I began reading Split? This is how Breathing Underwater should have been! This is not a book to just gloss over. It […]
Rose’s Review Okay, question, was anyone else as confused as I was when they were done reading this book? I admit it. I was so confused I had to re-read this book before I sat down to write this review, (much to my co-bloggers dismay, I believe). So why did […]
