3.5 stars — Well shit. I swore to my hubby that War was irredeemable. That the more time went on in the book, the less likely I was going to believe in his redemption. I was at a 3 stars, maybe less, thinking that this was just not my book (I’m not a motorcycle club […]
4 stars — Oh look, another review that’s choppy and all over the place and I’m too lazy to clean up. Wow, way more graphic and violent than I was expecting! Also way steamier, don’t know why I thought different. In the end, Sara’s persistent reluctance to acknowledge her feelings drove me up the wall. […]
4.5 stars — Well this book lived up to the spookiness I was looking for without traumatizing me! Yay! I switched between reading and listening to this one, because while I LOVED Mr. Williams narration, honestly it scared me a bit more listening than reading and I just couldn’t paralyze myself in bed at night. […]
4.5 stars — OK, can I start off by saying that that cover is kind of misleading, and gave me a totally different impression of the book I was going to read? It kind of reminded me of an earlier Alienist cover, and so I was anticipating being freaked out…and I started getting myself in […]
3.5 stars — I will admit I was worried about how I was going to like this book. But in general there were still a lot of things that delighted me and made my heart happy. I think where it faltered were issues from the first book that weren’t solved in this book — mainly […]
ORIGINAL REVIEW: 5 stars — Heartbreaking. Completely different from many paranormal-ish books I’ve been reading lately. Beautifully written — it jumps around in time a bit, but it’s the first time that I’ve actually enjoyed that in a book and found it appropriate b/c it adds something to the narrative at just the right times. […]
4.5 stars — I gobbled this one up. I can honestly say that I truly believe that Caitlin Davies’s narration enhanced my reading experience. I wonder if I’d have enjoyed it quite this much if I’d just read it. She just adds so much to the performance that I can’t help but want to listen […]
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 […]
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 […]
