4 stars — Fuck me, that ending. It’s both perfect given the genre and style, and drives me fucking mad. Sorry, I needed to get that out. If anyone fan fictions an extra epilogue, please let me know… Just like the first book in this series, this one had a great atmosphere that really got […]
3.5 stars — This book was VERY much outside of my comfort zone. I won’t say there was no romance, but it truly was the backgroundest of background romances.

Loved the whole existence of Gods, but not really present as much anymore. I enjoyed the narrator — found it was one of those rare books that I enjoyed reading and […]
ORIGINAL REVIEW: 4 stars — Oh dear…that was totally out of my normal realm of reading…. Very well written, great descriptions…I actually felt like I was there, and frankly I was terrified. Honestly, the only reason it didn’t get to more stars was my own personal taste….I tend to get really into books, and that’s […]
3.5 stars — A weird blend of kind of hokey and hard to suspend my disbelief, mixed with compelling and engaging. There were times where the pacing fell a little bit, and the book got wrapped up in repetitiveness. The thing is that some of that repetitiveness was about Mya pining for her family and […]
