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 […]
Favorite Quotes: Our side of the street. Their side of the street. What crap was this? Did they segregate people here? Because I was not cool with any sort of segregation. Except for assholes – they could walk straight off a cliff. Sure, they were rich, probably famous, judging by the ten-foot-high fences, but we […]
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 […]
These characters were one dimensional and lacked depth. Except maybe Raith. He was my favorite really. But I like the mysteriousness of him. Hes an underdog, an outcast, and I dig when these characters strive in the face of adversity. And he seemed to do that in this story. But it still wasn’t enough. I […]
DNF @ 22% — Uhhhh…. I got this one almost 5 years ago, I think because someone whose reviews I follow loved it. I can honestly say that we must have different tastes. I was NOT a fan of the writing style at all. It felt…simplistic? The characters came across really flat and almost like […]
Favorite Quotes: The other day Campbell told me the history behind the X-Men Gambit, a thief from Louisiana who can manipulate energy, and Rogue, a girl who can steal the life and powers of others with a single touch. They went back and forth; in love, not in love, never able to touch each other, […]
Favorite Quotes: But somewhere out in the world he wondered if there was someone like him, thinking as he did at this very moment, that out beyond the walls and lands of a farm or city or castle, the twin to his heart waited to be found. “I have had lovers look at me many […]
This book satisfies by Rebellion Space on Science Fiction vs. Fantasy Bingo (#SFvFBingo) being hosted by Curiosity Killed the Bookworm. At first it started out slow but then I couldn’t get enough of it and I can’t wait for the next one to come out. The title called to me and the beautiful cover sold […]
I couldn’t get into this book. The story was too similar to the Disney beauty and the beast with the names just changed by one letter. Mrs. Potts was Ms. Dotts. Not very original. And she was so mean that I found her irredeemable by 19% in. So I had no interest in seeing her […]
4.5 stars — I’m honestly still processing. I was so worried about this book, b/c Kjell was really hard to like in The Bird and the Sword…which is not to say I didn’t like him, but I almost liked him reluctantly if that makes sense. I knew this story was going to be a hard […]
