“And now, born from the ashes, she’s a warrior in bloodied black.”

Gemina by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff

CBR16 Sweet Books: Binge Nowhere Book Bingo: A YA novel Smart Bitches Summer Bingo: Epistolary romance CBR16 Bingo: Part 1 and Part 2 (the book has more than 600 pages) This is the second book in a series, and starting with this one means a lot of stuff won’t make much sense. I also don’t think it’s possible for me to review this book without spoiling the previous one, so if you’re not up to date, start with Illuminae. After the disastrous events, first on […]

Animal Prophecy? The Bird is the Word.

The Farseekers by Isobelle Carmody

August 7, 2024 by LittlePlat Leave a Comment

Well, that bingo card is keeping me motivated— ‘Part 2’ is sitting right there. And my need to procrastinate from packing and moving. That too. One of the more tricky things about reviewing books from a series is that I’m always wary about giving too much away. I think this will be a constant issue for the Obernewtyn Chronicles, since there are seven  books. So while I’ll try not to reveal too many big spoilers from the current book I’m going over, the previous ones […]

She’s a Killer Queen

Sweetheart by Chelsea Cain

July 18, 2024 by Jake Leave a Comment

Read as part of CBR16Bingo: Part 2. This is the second in the Gretchen Lowell and Archie Sheridan series, which currently has six books and is apparently counting.  I’m trying hard not to be a jerk here. This is me. Look people should write whatever they want. And have fun with it. Writing books is hard. A gender swapped Silence of the Lambs? Hell yeah, baby! Sounds right up my alley, even if I don’t like serial killer books. Ok so this is gonna be a […]

Trigger happy

Vengeful: A Novel (Villains Book 2) by V.E. Schwab

July 12, 2024 by ElCicco Leave a Comment

Cbr16bingo Part 2 Part 2 of VE Schwab’s Villains series, Vengeful, picks up 5 years after the events of book 1, Vicious. As with the previous volume, the story line cuts back and forth from present day to the past, slowly teasing out the events that have formed the main characters and that are leading up to what promises to be an explosive showdown between factions of EOs (ExtraOrdinaries, i.e. those with super powers) and civilian authority, most notably the new and secret task force […]
