Yet another disappointing third book in a YA dystopian trilogy.

March 27, 2014 by narfna 15 Comments

I am exhausted from being yo-yoed around by this book. Up and down and back around. I was prepared for disappointment after Prodigy and the way the series seemed to be heading, but even so I was still disappointed even over that prior disappointment. The ending to this series has cemented my resolve not to start YA series without 1) High recommendations from people I trust, and 2) Having a pretty good idea that the series isn’t going to careen off a cliff at the […]

Famous girl meets dream guy. They fall in love. That’s about it.

March 27, 2014 by Malin Leave a Comment

3.5 stars Disclaimer! I was granted a copy of this through NetGalley. I have not recieved any kind of compensation for this review. Hailey Bloom has been a movie star and a recording artist since she was a child, but has finally torn herself away from her controlling, manipulative, fame hungry mother and is pursuing her own dream of going to college. Not one of the really big famous ones, where she might still get lots of attention, but a small one in Vermont. She wants […]

A fun adventure where the woodcutter heroine rescues the young man in distress

March 27, 2014 by Malin 4 Comments

Saturday Woodcutter believes she is the only one of her many siblings without any magic, until the day when she throws a mirror out of the window in a rage, and conjures an ocean in the backyard. Because one of her brothers has run away and Saturday believes her ocean may have drowned him, she grabs her trusty axe (which has decided to change shape into a sword for the time being) and sets sail on her sister Thursday’s pirate ship in order to try […]

The Firey Heart – It’s about vampires, not some kind of STD.

March 25, 2014 by ModernLove Leave a Comment

School is really getting in the way of my reading and reviewing. Who needs an education anyway? Onto the good stuff! The Firey Heart is the 4th book in Richelle Meade’s Bloodlines series, which is a spin-off from the 6-book Vampire Academy series. I’ve been reading these since the first VA book came out about seven years ago, and I’ll be dammed if I stop reading them now. I have a horrible compulsion to see these things through, no matter how terrible the series gets. I have […]

March 22, 2014 by FyreHaar Leave a Comment

Possession (Fallen Angels #5) by J.R. Ward – Paranormal Romance – Spoilers ahead! The conceit of the Fallen Angels series is that seven souls are at crossroads, heaven and hell are vying for each soul and whoever gets best of seven gets to take over the world.
