Favorite Quote: There’s a sad beauty to this place, like a rainbow in an oil slick. I don’t know what draws me to these dark romances, maybe its that loves seems to almost always redeem them in the end. Whatever the reason this is by far the BEST dark romance I have ever read. Callie […]
I’m not very familiar with japanese mythology so this was pretty new to me. The title, cover art and blurb really pulled my attention in. The story was so rich and descriptive and filled with many traditions that were explained in great detail. The emotional bonds the characters develop so intense and serious yet playful […]
4.5 stars — I’m having a hard time getting my thoughts together and out of my head, this book just shook me like that. I didn’t bawl in like I was expecting to…and I think all the warnings and such made me wary of this book, so my reading of it was very drawn out. But […]
Favorite Quotes: “I was the arts and entertainment writer for an online news site but they just laid off most of us in order to concentrate on video. Something quick and easy that doesn’t require any thought to absorb.” “Sounds like a metaphor for the current state of the world.” We’re so imperfect, ye see. […]
This book immediately pulled me in with the dark undertones of both the characters and the plot itself. It was mysterious and addicting. Callie seems broken and unable to deal with the traumas that she experienced at such a young age. When nothing else seemed to work she turns to the bargainer to ease her […]
4.5 stars — I came for the latina heroine (for my diversity challenge), I stayed for the awesome narrators, relatively accurate coding references, amazing female software developer, and patient hero. First, the narrators: Both narrators are new to me, and I enjoyed them both. I LOVED Ms. Zimmerman in particular, she added so much emotion […]
3 stars — There were a lot of intriguing elements in this story, but in the end I was just confused…and like, everything from vaguely confused to seriously confused. And that just took me out of the story, and didn’t make me want to continue in the series. I actually almost DNF’d at 74%, but […]
This story started out awesome. It was fast paced and Vinna was a bad mama from gate. The first fighting scene was pretty cool since she was just fighting some folks then when they started to win, she switched sides to even it out. LOL, sounds like something I would do. She meets some dudes […]
Favorite Quote: I know what it’s like to talk about something like it’s normal, because it is normal to you, and yet you know the wrongness of it, feel the ache of it, in a way that can never be undone. Vinna evolves a bit in this story, she becomes more forgiving. But I still […]
This book was a bit weird. I was digging it for a bit then it got too weird for me and I just finished it because I was close to the end. I didn’t want to DNF it at 90% ya know? I skimmed the rest. It started out a bit fast and I wasn’t […]
