‘Journal of the Undead: Littleville Uprising’ is the story of twins Emma and Matt as they move to Littleville and try to fit in. As it turns out they will soon have more to worry about than typical teenage high school dramas as a zombie uprising is on the horizon. I got very easily engrossed in this book right from the beginning – this is an entertaining read with no filler, and it’s very character focused, which I love! I’ve been less impressed by […]
The glory of mermaid friends without the silly puns.
I read Deep Blue by Jennifer Donnelly for CBR6, and I was excited to hear that the sequel, Rogue Wave would be coming out this last January. Well. My library didn’t get a copy for like two months, and the wait has been awful. But I tore through it this evening, and it was well worth the wait. Thankfully, the mer-puns have been replaced by much weightier plot points and character building moments. This book, however, carries heavier tales of chaos and destruction. The beautiful […]
All Is Not Fair In Love And War
I typically shy away from war or militaristic stories, but the boarding school aspect of this young adult book hooked me. That particular trope is like catnip for me and the high school setting definitely made the militaristic aspects more accessible. I’m happy to say this was a great read. Sam McKenna comes from a military family. Her father is a high-ranking member of the Army and her two older brothers excelled at the prestigious Denmark Military Academy at which Sam has decided to enroll. […]
Somewhere, someone’s dream was coming true. And someone’s was ending…
It’s been almost three years since the first book in this series, Kill Me Softly, was published. I had actually forgotten it even existed, but I really liked the first one, so I decided to read onwards. It’s nice that you don’t have to read the first book to understand the second. They take place in the same universe, but they focus on different characters, with the same characters in the background. It’s about a city called Beau Rivage where people are cursed to live […]
“All men are corrupt. The seed of the Epic is inside each one. And so, all must die…”
The second book in the Reckoners series. I felt that Steelheart had a really exciting opening, then was sort of…not exactly boring, but it didn’t live up to the opening. Even so, I really liked the book. Firefight was really good. I liked giving the main character something new to focus on, other than revenge. David has started to wonder if the Reckoners should be killing the Epics or if they could turn them good again. The action travels to a new city, there are […]
More of the same. Good, not great.
This is more like a really high three, but I’m rounding up because of sentiment. I still find myself wanting more from the Emelan books, and not getting it. They just take place in such a short period of time, and there isn’t much character interaction. There was even less in this one than usual, because the four main characters are split up, each character getting their own spotlight book while the others are off having adventures in other parts of the world. This one […]
