I’m a huge fan of Jessica Sorenson. I used to read all her books when I was younger so I had a good idea of what to expect going in. I like the beginning of this book. It had all the elements of a great paranormal YA. I was not expecting the family to have […]
Favorite Quotes: Our side of the street. Their side of the street. What crap was this? Did they segregate people here? Because I was not cool with any sort of segregation. Except for assholes – they could walk straight off a cliff. Sure, they were rich, probably famous, judging by the ten-foot-high fences, but we […]
4.5 stars — I adore this series, and so checking out the audiobook version was a no-brainer. I had previously felt the start was a bit slow, but when listening to it I thought the pace flowed much more smoothly. Ms. Swanepoel’s narration of Della was pretty spot on…she conveyed the snark and sassiness quite […]
These characters were one dimensional and lacked depth. Except maybe Raith. He was my favorite really. But I like the mysteriousness of him. Hes an underdog, an outcast, and I dig when these characters strive in the face of adversity. And he seemed to do that in this story. But it still wasn’t enough. I […]
DNF @ 22% — Uhhhh…. I got this one almost 5 years ago, I think because someone whose reviews I follow loved it. I can honestly say that we must have different tastes. I was NOT a fan of the writing style at all. It felt…simplistic? The characters came across really flat and almost like […]
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, […]
4.5 stars — I’m honestly still processing. I was so worried about this book, b/c Kjell was really hard to like in The Bird and the Sword…which is not to say I didn’t like him, but I almost liked him reluctantly if that makes sense. I knew this story was going to be a hard […]
5 stars — Oh my word, this was just suck me in fantastic. If you are a frequent reader of my reviews, you will know that I don’t give full 5 stars very often. 4.5? Sure. 5? Nope. And I can never tell you the criteria for making it over the edge, it’s just gut […]
I’m one of the lucky ones that got an ARC of this book but I bought it anyway so my review on Amazon would be legit. Keisha seems to really struggle this year, with the birth of her daughter who is sickly. That part was pretty heartbreaking. I do like the fact that no one […]
I love this cover the mostest! This one was a real emotional read for me. I was so scared for Asa. After everything he’s been through in his life I was real worried this would break him. Although he is absent in most of this book, I think the author did a good job of […]
