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 […]
Julie’s Review: All Our Yesterdays is essentially a story about stopping a terrible person before he becomes terrible. This pair travels back in time, again and again trying to change the future by fixing the past, and every time they end up in the same situation. This time, they know what they must do, and it […]
Julie’s Review: What I loved most about Every Last Word is it took me completely by surprise. Even knowing that our main character has OCD and is highly obsessive, I didn’t predict the extent or really see how the plot was going to play out. I could compare a lot of this book to a […]
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 […]
Julie’s Review: I had Witch Song on my eReader shelf for quite some time and finally got a chance to read it as an audiobook. So this is both a #ShelfLove review as well as a review copy review. Wheeeee. I really liked the main character, Brusenna. While naive and sheltered, she’s brave and determined to […]
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 […]
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 […]
