ORIGINAL REVIEW: 3.5 stars — OK, that was actually pretty entertaining! I had some problems here and there with the science and concept, but if I just let go of that crap, it was easy to get sucked into the story. With the prologue at the beginning, I was able to easily guess what the […]
3.5 stars — Despite being absolutely thrilled to have a heroine with *almost* my first name, I was a bit taken aback by the start of the book. We’re definitely thrust into a dystopian nightmare and a trigger scenario (warning). And while I am definitely intrigued by this bizarre world that Ms. Wright set up, […]
4 stars — Well that left me a whole mess of confused and conflicted and overwrought. I started off listening to the audiobook with this one. And honestly, Ms. Fortgang was solid. She had clear voices, good pacing, emotions. But…I kept finding my mind wandering. And after awhile I figured it just wasn’t working for […]
3.5 stars — I think in the end I *wanted* to like this one more than I actually did. It was longer. The pace was slow at times. I didn’t always like Theo. And I just didn’t get as captured emotionally. Basically I can think of other books that share elements of the plot that […]

Unfortunately, while I’ve enjoyed the one other book I’ve read by her, I don’t think I have the patience for the types of […]
3 stars — Well shoot. I can honestly say that I didn’t have as much success with this book. While there were things that I enjoyed, there were just too many other things that bugged me for it to be an enjoyable overall read. I’ll try not to get too ranty, but I do want […]
I actually won a copy of this book a little bit ago, and it was the perfect book to pick me up. Synopsis: Graham Malone is my roommate, my personal eye candy, the reason I get up in the morning smiling (that could be from the illicit dreams I have about him too, I suppose. […]
