On the Otherside Duology by D.G. Swank

On the Otherside Duology by D.G. Swank

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 […]

An Urchin of Means by April White

An Urchin of Means by April White

4.5 stars — Ahhhh!!!  This was sooooo good!  It totally lived up to my expectations for Ringo and Charlie’s new life together, and I’m only sad that there aren’t more books in the series already written!  What am I going to do with myself? I honestly COULD NOT put this down once I started listening […]

Out of Time by April White

Out of Time by April White

5 stars — Since I’d read the box set of the first 3 books and they weren’t updated with the new epilogues, this was the first time I was able to read them.  I kind of loved getting a Ringo-related summary and then getting to see the epilogues in a row like that, it really […]

Daisy’s Decision by Ruby Dixon

Daisy’s Decision by Ruby Dixon

4 stars — I was worried about this one, because I had kind of expected Daisy to have changed a lot given her burns at the end of that last book.  But she really hadn’t.  We got a look inside her head, and initially I was pretty disappointed.  And even O’jek was a bit…brusque.  Which […]

The Warden by Sage Alder

The Warden by Sage Alder

4.5 stars — This was exactly what I was looking for and needing with the mood I was in.  I know the author said the book turned out longer than she expected, but I honestly didn’t notice at all…and if you’ve been reading my reviews lately, you know that’s something that doesn’t work for me, […]

The Corsair’s Captive by Ruby Dixon

The Corsair’s Captive by Ruby Dixon

3.5 stars — I thought I would give another series by Ms. Dixon a try, and while this definitely went better than my foray into fireblood dragons, it still didn’t quite hit the mark like the IPB series and spinoffs for me.  At least this one had better pacing and tempo. The narrators were solid, […]

Marking Time by April White

Marking Time by April White

3.5 stars — I read this in a boxed set, so didn’t have the updated 10th anniversary editions.  I will admit that I found the story to read a bit jumbled, especially in the beginning.  It feels like we’re thrown in, and then plot things just keep happening and happening, but we haven’t really had […]

Sam’s Secret by Ruby Dixon

Sam’s Secret by Ruby Dixon

3.5 stars — I thought I would like this one more than I did, but I was disappointed that Sam never really had plans to open up to anyone else, especially Steph…course, that might change after the book takes place, but I’m still bummed. Sam had a LOT going on with her, and having never […]

Steph’s Outcast by Ruby Dixon

Steph’s Outcast by Ruby Dixon

4 stars — Oh yeah, this was what I was looking for.  I was feeling a bit book slumpish, so I was so excited when the audio came out for this one and I pounced on it.  This series always gives me what I’m looking for.  Obviously I love some stories more than others, some […]
