Okay, so I am waaaaaay behind on reviews, thanks to summer holidays. Kids were in my space 24/7, plus I went on vacation without a computer. While I became wildly unproductive, I did manage to read a bunch of books merely for fun. This was the first of them. I had… Read more »
I have to start things off with an admission. I really dreaded reading this book. Which is absolutely ridiculous, based on how much I absolutely loved Seraphina! It was the winner of the prestigious MYRCA award (Manitoba Young Readers’ Choice Award – well, it’s important for us Manitobans anyway). It… Read more »
CJ Archer took me completely by surprise. I read this book on a whim, thinking it would be a fun read, maybe a bit quirky or cute. It’s really not any of those though. It’s actually quite intense at times, and instead of being cute, it’s sexy! It’s hard not… Read more »
Just… wow. This is not your mother’s mermaid story. And DEFINITELY not your daughter’s either. This story toed the line to being too dark, but that was also one of the best things about it. Aside from the mermaids, this story was historically accurate (or at least as far as… Read more »
It is the end of the world. They call him Eagle, like the grand and beautiful bird that symbolizes freedom. During these dark times, when humanity is experiencing nothing but suffering, a man with such a powerful name should be a beacon of hope, yet he is anything but…. Read more »
Overall, The Witches of Blackbrook is a cute read, but considering the material, I really wanted it to be darker. Don’t get me wrong. It’s perfect as a teen read. Sex is hinted at, fading to black. Not one single swear. But there’s also murder, and a witch being burned… Read more »
I can’t help but be a little wary when heading into a second book of a series. They are notoriously rough, hard to follow, without a true beginning or end. As is too often the case, there is a large gap of time between books, and readers will find themselves… Read more »
I have been in love with this series since book one, page one. First came The Harvesting, so completely different from anything in its genre, and then came Cricket in Midway, and yet again, I was blown away by the strength of Melanie’s female characters. But then, starting The Shadow… Read more »
After hearing readers rave about Miranda’s books, I first tried out Breathe, Annie, Breathe, even though I figured it wouldn’t really be my style. And then I was completely blown away. So when I saw Jesse’s Girl, I was skeptical. Rocker romance is so not my thing, but if I… Read more »
It’s not news that I love Nazarea. I will read anything that she writes, regardless of genre. Chasing the Wind had no problems living up to my high expectations! I award it 5 stars for plot and story telling! It had its flaws, but nothing I couldn’t look past, in… Read more »
