The Vampire Academy series is as follows: 1. Vampire Academy (CBR5 review) 2. Frostbite 3. Shadow Kiss 4. Blood Promise 5. Spirit Bound 6. Last Sacrifice These are pretty mediocre books. I read the whole series because I’m a completist (sadist?) and at this point I’d be hard-pressed to describe exactly where in the overall plot each book began and ended. The whole story goes something like this — and I’ll be as vague as I can to avoid specific spoilers — Rose is a half-vampire who […]
… or Ladies and Lizards
Dragons and Warrior Daughters – Ed. Jessica Yates , a collection of short stories all featuring prominent female characters or protagonists, some of which have dragons. I picked this book up for two reasons. It has a story from Robin McKinley, one of my most beloved authors, and I am trying to populate my daughter’s bookshelf with positive stories about women and girls.

Adult Male reviews the Divergent Series finale
MEGA SPOILERS AHEAD – Continue at your own peril! I read Allegiant to complete the Divergent Trilogy. I was not a huge fan of either previous book but I wanted to know how the series would end. I enjoyed the dystopian plot but had no patience for the love angle. Books about teenagers in love are my bane. That secondary plot almost led to me not finishing the series. The finale reduced the kiddie-love aspect a little and I appreciated it. Allegiant opens shortly […]
Breaking Down the Doors of Death
If you like a good cliff-hanger, then Rick Riordan is the author for you. In fact, the dedication of The House of Hades reads, “To my wonderful readers: Sorry about that last cliff-hanger. Well, no, not really. HAHAHAHA. But seriously, I love you guys.” The House of Hades, the fourth book in The Heroes of Olympus series, picks up right where the third book, The Mark of Athena, leaves us hanging, with Percy and Annabeth stuck in Tartarus trying to get to the Doors of […]
Our heroine continues to show extremely questionable taste in menfolk
This is book two in The Arcana Chronicles and as such not the best place to start. This review will contain spoilers for book one in the series, Poison Princess, which is also where you want to begin, if you’re interested in the series. Although if you read my review of that book, why would you actually want to read the books at all? Still, Kiala over on Vaginal Fantasy Hangout seems to love them, so what do I know? At the end of Poison Princess, Evangeline, or Evie, or the […]
Cress’ tower is a satellite. She has no way to let down her hair.
4.5 stars This is the third book in a series, and I would strongly recommend you don’t start with this one. This review will contain minor spoilers for Cinder, the first book in the series and Scarlet, the second book, so if you’ve not read them, go read them first. This review will be here when you’re done. Crescent Moon, or Cress, as she’d prefer to be called, has spent the last seven years all alone on a satellite orbiting Earth, monitoring communications for the Lunar government and […]
