Hunted by P.C. Cast and Kristen Cast
October 4, 2013As a stand alone book, Hunted is quite lacking. The fifth book of the House of Night series Hunted is the kind of book that wraps up some story lines, introduces others and does little else. A place holder book Hunted has some major irks, but not nearly as much eye-rolling author intrusion as the […]
Demonglass by Rachel Hawkins
October 2, 2013What started off as “Harry Potter goes bad girl” jumps ahead from Magical Reform School drama to Major Magical Uprising in this second book from Rachel Hawkins. In Hex Hall, main character Sophie Mercer learned she wasn’t really a witch, but a demon, when she had to battle her own summoned grandmother. In Demonglass, Sophie […]
Hex Hall by Rachel Hawkins
September 27, 2013Sophie knows she’s a witch, but that’s about all she knows. She’s never met her warlock father. Her human mother tries, but can help her very little. When Sophie tries to help a classmate with a love spell–and it goes horribly wrong–she is sent to Hex Hall by the Council that rules the Prodigium, which […]
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. The leads are a little too perfect and powerful at times. But there are pirates, and dragons, and psychic/magical powers, fae, and it’s all set in a […]
Pretties by Scott Westerfeld
September 18, 2013When we last left Tally she valiantly volunteered to surrender herself to the Specials and undergo the process of becoming Pretty. See the big secret of the first book is that becoming Pretty is not just a physical thing, they also burn away bits of your brain that encourage free thought and independence. So Tally […]
Uglies by Scott Westerfeld
September 11, 2013When Tally turns sixteen she’ll go under the knife, a tradition that will initiate her into the life of a Pretty where everything is possible, most of all acceptance and approval. But then she meets Shay, who lets it spill that she doesn’t want to be Pretty. She doesn’t want some committee deciding how she […]
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 […]
