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 […]
4 stars — Well, this one ended with a lot of tears…it’s been a few months since a book has done that to me. And it wasn’t the only time I teared up in this book! Which is not to say that this is a sad book, by any means. But Vela goes through some […]
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: “Sometimes I have a difficult time understanding how such beauty can exist in such a dark world,” Dread twisted my insides and I glanced over my shoulder in panic. The figure drew closer, shadows peeling free of it like sticky tar. There was no definition to its face, only a pair of solid […]
This book counts towards my Space square in the Science Fiction vs. Fantasy book bingo (#SFvsFBingo) being hosted by Curiosity Killed the Bookworm I have 10 books down on that thing, by far the most of all my challenges I think. And I’m sure I missed some that qualify because…laziness. Anyway, I really like this audio […]
This was a super short yet cool read. And although it was pretty short I enjoyed the open-endedness of it. The struggle that the scientists had with shutting him down or allowing him to evolve and maybe/possibly revolting was clear and concise in this book. Is it a Glitch or something more? What would you […]
4 stars — Wow. Again, why don’t I read more science fiction?? I would have missed out on this gem if I wasn’t determined to stretch myself this year! OK, before I get going on my review, I just wanted to note that I would call this book mature YA rather than just normal YA. […]
3.5 stars — I moved this book up on my TBR b/c I’m trying to read books featuring black characters for black history month, and from the cover I assumed Tye was black. I feel like there are different reasons for having diverse characters, and if your reasons are to see things from the perspective […]
4 stars — You know, it’s actually been a while since I read a good paranormal romance/urban fantasy. I don’t actually read a lot in this genre, but for me what makes this more urban fantasy in my head is the greater action sequences, and the sort of government/military aspect of the characters. I don’t think […]
