Fantastic Sequel!

Thank you YABC and Katherine Tegen Books for this ARC. *flails* I really enjoyed Incarnate (especially Sam) and was so excited when I found out I would have the chance to read Asunder early. I made some tea, slipped on my fingerless "Ana" gloves that I asked...

A Pleasant Surprise!

I don't know WHY no one told me about this book sooner?! I'll be the first to admit that I'm not a huge mythology fan HOWEVER, I'm SO VERY GLAD I read this book! It's got action, adventure, humor and romance. I mean,...

AMAZEBOTS!

What I loved: The synopsis was intriguing and I found myself sucked in from the prologue, THE PROLOGUE! It's not often that a book simultaneously cracks me up and scares the crap out of me at the same time but this one did! Nick, Cass and...

A heroine more focused on honor than choosing the right boy.

What I Liked: Clean-cut, fast-paced action with a strong female character who was spurred on by a sense of honor and duty instead of just swoon. (Not, that I don't love the swoon.) The two would-be love interests were equally as strong although one was more concerned about Kira as...

So much fun to read, but I NEED MORE!

Firelight fans need to read this for two reasons: 1) Because Az needs her own, full length story after this. 2) Because Az meets a boy who may just rival Will/Cassian in the hotsauce department. 3) Because Tate. That is all....

Great addition to the Unearthly Series.

I have never been a fan of Angela but I did enjoy being able to learn more about her past and having the chance to see things from her POV. Clara's POV shows a slightly different side to her as well. My favorite part was the inclusion of...

Engaging Read

When I saw the summary for this book, I was totally expecting it to be lighthearted and funny, but it isn't. It took me a few chapters to get really into the story, but once I did, I was hooked. I enjoyed the alternating POV's and that it...

LOVED.IT.SO.FREXING.HARD!

Shades of Earth is a fanFREXINGtastic finish to this trilogy! It's filled with action, suspense, romance and heartbreak that kept me riveted to my seat right up to very last word. THE LAST WORD! The cover changes, which have been a topic of debate, are...

Better Than The Corner Piece Of Birthday Cake!

When you slice up a birthday cake you usually scrape the knife off between each slice otherwise the pieces look messy and unappetizing when you serve it. By the time you're finished there's a pile of leftover frosting and cake bits on the plate that a lot of people throw...

Nothing like I expected.

This book wasn't anything like I expected it to be based on the summary. It's beautifully written and I felt like I was caught up in a poem. Anna's story is not an easy one to read and is full of raw and often heartbreaking moments. She finds...

Nice Addition to War Horse.

This is billed as the sequel to War Horse but it's really not. While it mentions Albert and Joey, the focus is more on the bonds of family, the love of horses and the importance of literacy. It's well written and is told from alternating POV's, both of which are...

Creative and Interesting.

This is a quick read about Kate, a lifelong asthma sufferer who sees visions whenever an attack strikes. She's able to see the past as well as the future, but her ability doesn't do a lot of good when no one believes that what she sees is real. ...
