Roar and Liv by Veronica Rossi

Roar and Liv by Veronica Rossi

4 stars — This was a solid prequel novella!  I will admit that I was pretty confused about the timeline and how it meshed with what I learned from Perry in book 1, but oh well. Roar was pretty easy to love.  Sure he was headstrong, and didn’t always think before he acted.  But you […]

Cheating Death by April White

Cheating Death by April White

4.5 stars — This was a seriously solid series ender!  While there are a few things that I ponder over, in general it wrapped things up really well, answering questions and setting everything into a good position where I can imagine this world continuing on. Saira really felt like she came into her own throughout […]

Waging War by April White

Waging War by April White

4 stars — The realities of WWII as presented through Saira’s eyes was just…HARD.  Like so many people, I’m morbidly fascinated by that war, but I purposely avoid it because it’s just really hard to take.  And it was hard here.  We got to see amazing people, and horrific monsters, and also all the in between […]

Changing Nature by April White

Changing Nature by April White

4 stars — This series just keeps getting better and better as we get to know the characters and the world more!  I think I even had a brilliant theory appear at the end there and I can’t wait to find out if my theory is correct! There were definitely elements that were heartbreaking and […]

Tempting Fate by April White

Tempting Fate by April White

3.5 stars — I will admit that I stayed up pretty late into the night finishing this one, because I just really wanted to know what was going to happen.  I think if I was a history buff, I would enjoy these books even more.  As it is, I really haven’t retained much about British […]

Tear by Rachel Van Dyken

Tear by Rachel Van Dyken

DNF @ end of Chapter 1 — Wow.  I mean, I had a feeling this might not work for me because I have very mixed reactions to books by this author (who I think I’m officially marking as not for me).  But I still expected to get farther than the end of chapter 1. It […]

Tied Up In You by Erin Fletcher

Tied Up In You by Erin Fletcher

3 stars — Huh.  I remember loving the first book, but this one felt like it was missing something.  I almost DNF’d it because it just wasn’t pulling me in, but I really wanted to finish another series for my challenge, and it was only 200 pages… Honestly, the characters had some great moments/qualities, but […]
