4 stars — While I haven’t read the first book in this series yet, I felt like this set up the world perfectly, and gave some insight into the history. I thought the take on magic was actually kind of intriguing, with it being in the air all around us, and the mages just able […]
4.5 stars — Wow. I’m just having a good old time listening to this series. I seriously had a hard time putting it down. I ended up just laying on the couch listening to it because I desperately wanted to know what was going to happen, and that’s just a sign of a perfect match […]
4 stars — This was a reread, but I hadn’t written a review the first time I read it, so this is just my current thoughts. Course I didn’t write my review right away, so this is going to be a lame review again. I will admit that I liked the overarching plot and world […]
ORIGINAL REVIEW: 5 stars — Wow — just slightly out of character for the books I’m used to reading, especially in the paranormal type genre. Very dark, and heartbreaking at times. Vivid imagery, and the imagination to create this world…wow. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Loved Penryn and Raffe… Desperately wish the next book was out so […]
3.5 stars — Definitely a fun ride, but I didn’t feel quite as connected to Sadie and Ethan as I was to Jake and Christa in book 1. I think I might have had certain expectations of Sadie as we saw her in the first book, and so the direction this book took threw me off […]
3.5 stars — So, first things first: I totes didn’t realize this was the last in a series. I knew it was part of a series (it says “The Fated Series” on the cover), but I assumed it was the start of one. I really wish it’d been more clear, b/c while it wasn’t a […]
4.5 stars — I adore this series, and so checking out the audiobook version was a no-brainer. I had previously felt the start was a bit slow, but when listening to it I thought the pace flowed much more smoothly. Ms. Swanepoel’s narration of Della was pretty spot on…she conveyed the snark and sassiness quite […]
I really liked how this started out. It was exciting and funny. However, the romance kept getting to the point where a moment happened, but then something would fumble it up, which is fine because it creates suspense and drama. But when it keeps happening and the story doesn’t progress and I’m like halfway through […]
This book meets my Haunted space requirement for #SFvFBingo being hosted by Curiosity Killed the Bookworm! This story was a bit unusual. I read this book purely based on the cover and the title. And while the title and the cover fit the story, it didn’t go in the direction I assumed it would. Well, […]
4-stars — Huh, the book went in slightly different directions than I was expecting! I really didn’t expect the time travel-ish aspect to the story! No, that’s a lie. I knew there had to be something b/c of the hints at the end of the previous book. But I didn’t expect it to take up […]
