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: My Creatures book club read Lord of Thunder for our January meeting, and had the author, Linda Mooney, attend in person! She’s local(ish) and we’ve had her attend a meeting in the past and had a really fun time. This time was no different. We had a blast chatting with her about this […]
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 […]

This was roughly around the same time that Angeli was making her trek across the […]

He confronts Emma’s past head on, and with his help, […]
Julie’s Review The Grave Winner is a unique kind of YA horror story. I would say I give it about 3.5 stars. I liked it and thought it was really entertaining, but there were a few things that didn’t quite work for me, so it didn’t quite earn that 4 star rating. […]
Julie’s Review I really liked the premise of this book. I thought it was unique and mysterious. It starts out with Hugh waking up in a crater completely naked and not having any clue what happened. Then we have Cece who is dealing with her bi-polar hoarder mother and is trying to […]
