Lastland by A.R. Ivanovich

Lastland by A.R. Ivanovich

4.5 stars — Wow.  I’ve learned that with this series I can’t trust my gut, and I should prepare for surprises.  So I think I read this one on the edge of my seat, barely able to trust what I was feeling.  But in the end?  It was worth it.  I was wholly satisfied with the […]

Monarch by A.R. Ivanovich

Monarch by A.R. Ivanovich

4.5 stars — Wow.  I just…don’t understand what kind of fucked up imagination this author has to create these crazy worlds.  And damn, but she’s evil for putting her readers through craziness after craziness.  There were twists that while I didn’t guess, I could totally see after the fact.  And then there were other twists […]

Paperglass by A.R. Ivanovich

Paperglass by A.R. Ivanovich

ORIGINAL REVIEW: 4.5 stars — great followup to the first book. Again, lots of great action, an intriguing and unique built world, hilarious banter between characters, a flawed protagonist that has been thrust into the craziness again….oh yeah, and Rune. *sigh* Hmmmm, how am I going to do this review without giving anything away? Impossible. […]

Haven by A.R. Ivanovich

Haven by A.R. Ivanovich

ORIGINAL REVIEW: 4.5 stars — OK, that was a fun ride. Seriously, so much more than I was expecting. First, I LOVED Katelyn’s voice….she could be just absolutely HILARIOUS. She is such a strong, spirited girl, but with a fabulous self-deprecating and witty sense of humour. I actually really enjoyed her friends in Rivermarch too, […]

Midnight Sun by Stephenie Meyer

Midnight Sun by Stephenie Meyer

3.5 stars — I’m not a huge Twilight fan, though I enjoyed the stories and the movies (to some degree).  They’re very much a guilty pleasure, and for all their faults I am entertained by the series.  I will admit though, that when I got the audiobook from the library and saw that it was […]

Havoc by Taylor Longford

Havoc by Taylor Longford

4 stars — Yay!!  That was a solid finish to the series!  I was getting worried b/c I was liking the books less and less as we went along…and while this one did have some things that irked me, there were some other things that surprised the heck out of me and I adored!  So […]

Felix Ever After by Kacen Callender

Felix Ever After by Kacen Callender

4.5 stars — This felt like a true coming of age YA novel…just one that brings more diversity and representation.  And while I learned a LOT about being trans, and about all the different flavours of queer out there, if you break it down it’s also just about Felix figuring out who he is, coming into […]

Courage by Taylor Longford

Courage by Taylor Longford

3.5 stars — Well…this one gave me mixed feelings.  I was really looking forward to finding out what happened to Courage too!!  But it definitely didn’t live up to my expectations.  Maybe I’ve outgrown this series.  I will finish it, but I feel like the books have not been getting better as we go along… […]
