Untamed by P.C. Cast & Kristen Cast
September 25, 2013If Chosen is one of my favorite books in the House of Night series Untamed is my other favorite. In the last book original mean girl Aphrodite not only became the only safe person for super chosen one Zoey to be close to, she also gave up the one thing she probably loved more than […]
Frozen by Melissa de la Cruz and Michael Johnston
September 20, 2013Can I just start with: I absolutely loved this book? It’s not perfect, the pace is off, more heavily loaded in the back end making it feel rushed.

Gates of Paradise by Melissa de la Cruz
September 6, 2013Okay, are you ready for the last one? Spoilers ahoy, because there is no way, at all, that I can talk about this without talking about everything. So below the cut… Tweet
Lost in Time by Melissa de la Cruz
September 4, 2013If you’ve been following my reviews of de la Cruz’s Blood Bloods series so far you know that they’re either completely irritating or completely lovely to me. The decision to split the point of view and the story into different facets is probably what kept me reading the series. Lost in Time is a perfect […]
Frozen (Heart of Dread #1) by Melissa de la Cruz Welcome to New Vegas, a city once covered in bling, now blanketed in ice. Like much of the destroyed planet, the place knows only one temperature—freezing. But some things never change. The diamond in the ice desert is still a 24-hour hedonistic playground and […]
