It’s a sin not to read this book. First of all: HOLY SHIT WHAT THE HELL OHMYGOD WHAT THE CRAP I CAN’T EVEN WITH THIS DEAR SWEET BABY JESUS SOMEONE HELP ME WITH THESE FEELS I AM FEELING THEN WRAP ME IN A BLANKET AND LET ME CRY BECAUSE THIS BOOK IS JUST DEAR SWEET LORD. READ IT JUST READ IT I CAN NOT IF YOU DON’T READ IT. WE WILL NOT BE FRIENDS IF YOU DON’T READ THIS. *Coughs* Now that that’s […]
I inherited something from this book, but it wasn’t something I loved. Okay, so you should know beforehand that the main appeal this book had to me was that it sounded strikingly like a YA version of the 39 Clues series which, as a kid, I absolutely adored. Family secrets, a race around the world–what isn’t there to love? As it turns out, a lot. Not to mention the fact that at times, the similarities between Inherit Midnight and the 39 Clues were […]
Creepy, but sort of terrible and cheesy. But CREEPS. I had such, such high hopes for this one. I will admit I got a bit worried when some mixed reviews started pouring in…but it couldn’t be that bad, could it? I mean with a premise like that, what could go wrong? As it turns out, quite a bit. For the record, I was pretty close to DNF’ing this when I was about half in, but Alyssa said that the second half was better, so […]
HOLY HELL. (Pun always intended) OH. MY. GOD. I’m going to admit, it was the cover of Shutter that drew me in (and Lynne Matson’s recommendation). I’m not a huge paranormal, ghost, or horror fan. (In order: Usually has cliches, usually isn’t unique, and I’m a huge wuss.) But ohmydearsweetgod, Alameda makes me want to run out and grab everything remotely similar to Shutter. First things first, the science. It’s absolutely amazing and it’s not something you’d expect in ghosts, is it? But there are talks about […]
Whelp. It tore me apart. I absolutely underestimated how much I’d love Kill Me Softly two years ago and was absolutely heartbroken when I realized it was a stand-alone…until it was announced that there would be a companion continuing Viv’s story. (Which, of course, means that there’d better be books for Jewel and Layla or I will write a petition.) These retellings are simply fantastic in the way that they’re not entirely retellings, so much as loosely based on several fairy tales at once. With […]
Intriguing and fast-paced. A real thrill for the soul. What was I expecting when I read Soulprint? I’m going to be honest–I expected a love story where she falls in love with her past love’s reincarnation. Is that what everyone else expected or is that just me? Because of that I thought of this more as a love story than a thriller and maybe that’s why I loved it so much–it was so much more thrilling than I thought it’d be. The idea […]
I read this and I’m going to tell you right now–I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. Of course, I’ve heard everyone squealing about this one, people trying to get me to read it, saying that as a high fantasy fan I absolutely had to read it. I was skeptical though. We all know the dangers of putting a book on a pedestal before we’ve read it. But damn, this book deserved that pedestal. It was hard getting into it at first and I actually […]
