4 stars — Yet another book that I was wary of when I started…just wasn’t immediately sucked in, you know? Kept wondering where it was going to go. But somewhere along the way I did get sucked in, and I desperately wanted to know details of the mystery. I think this is probably a 3.75 […]
They finally come clean with each other and it’s glorious! Although I gotta say that the boys are bit overzealous with how protective and Riot is too controlling for my taste. Ever allows them to get under her skin and sometimes does the opposite of what they want just to be contrary which I found […]
This was a fantastic start to a potentially great series. I liked how lost everyone was in this book and how emotive they all were. The mystery plot was not too intricate that you had to pay a lot of attention but strong enough to hold the story together and not make it all about […]
3.5 stars — I will admit that I have not read any Austen books, including Emma. But as I was reading this book I realized I did know another Emma retelling really well: Clueless!! It helped to have that in the back of my mind in some ways, to sort of acknowledge certain aspects of […]
4.5 stars — OK, I was totally not expecting a Phantom of the Opera retelling!! That delighted me. I don’t know if it’s bad to ruin that, because it occurred to me slowly, more and more, as the book went on…but then again, it could bring people to the book who might not have taken […]
4 stars — Well…huh. So, this is another mixed bag for me. On the one hand, I found both Cece and Emmett to be a bit unbearable in their pretention and snobbery…and I’m not generally a fan of seeing my MCs in a romance getting together/kissing/etc with other people (and we saw that from both […]
4 stars — This was a solid emotional and entertaining Little Mermaid retelling. Thankfully without the tragedy of the original (sort of spoiler, but I’d want to know). I loved the way that the Mer were portrayed, especially that they didn’t look exactly like humans with tails — just little things like the gills, and […]
ORIGINAL REVIEW: 4.5 stars — Fabulous! If you love movies like She’s The Man, this will fit your bill. The main plot isn’t unique, but I loved the new setting of in the future. What a strange imagination the author has, and it was definitely not a utopic future. Not always as lighthearted as the […]
Favorite Quotes: I wonder what path the curse would have taken if we had arrived a minute later and found Harper dead. I’m so furious that I’m tempted to nock another arrow and find out. I loved everything about this book but the best part was the slow burn romance. First came confusion, then grudging […]
This one was ok, the story didn’t move very fast but the character development made up for it. Even though it wasn’t as fast as I usually like. I was really surprised I didn’t like it more. I love Melissa Haag’s writing but this one was by far the worst book I’ve read by her. […]
