4 stars — I was a bit worried about this one, b/c the premise is not usually something I can tolerate. I’m not big on lying/deceiving, and I worried this scenario would feel like cheating. But honestly? It wasn’t too bad. Lucy and Dante had only been on, like, 2 dates, so it wasn’t like […]
4.5 stars — OK, yet again, I am not a fantasy or historical type reader. They kind of intimidate me. And I’m actually not generally that well versed on mythology of any kind. But I’ve enjoyed this author in the past, and an author friend of mine raved about this book, so I had to […]
4.5 stars — Oh, look at that. I started it at bedtime and stayed up until after 3am finishing it. Damn this series is addicting. I’m sad I’m all caught up now. I loved that this one gave us yet again a different kind of heroine, looking for different things. It was so refreshing that […]
4.5 stars — I don’t know what exactly had me enjoying this one even more than the previous ones, but I think part of that was that Cassie’s perspective is a bit different from the previous girls. They were all afraid of being raped, Cassie’s considering giving herself in exchange for protection. So it didn’t […]
4 stars — Goddamn these books are addicting. I started this one before bed and stayed up until 3am to finish it. I mean, they’re not perfect, but they are seriously compelling. Something about them just keeps me coming back for more. I should be reading other things, but I can totally see myself finishing […]
3.5 stars — A weird blend of kind of hokey and hard to suspend my disbelief, mixed with compelling and engaging. There were times where the pacing fell a little bit, and the book got wrapped up in repetitiveness. The thing is that some of that repetitiveness was about Mya pining for her family and […]
2.5 stars — I just didn’t connect with this one. I couldn’t connect with either Izzy or Braxton, or their romance. I got some of the emotions and betrayals that Izzy felt, but I wasn’t a fan of having the past strung along throughout the book, told in chunks. It made it so that while […]
3 stars — Oh dear. Where to start. There were glimmers of interesting things going on, but not really enough to suck me in and make up for what *wasn’t* working for me. We’ll start with the narrator. Ms. Reinders was solidly in the okay category. She didn’t grate on my nerves, there was some […]
5 stars — I honestly don’t know what it was about this one that just totally captured my imagination. I was just sucked in by Fiona from the first page. Which is funny, b/c I can’t say I connected with her as much in any of the other KITC series books, but in this one […]
3.5 stars — I devoured this one in less than a day as well, it’s just an easy and enticing read. And overall, I found the series very entertaining. I’m not sure if I’ll read the next 3 books about future generations…I kind of like where I ended up. Throughout this whole series I’ve experienced […]
