A Must Read For Lovers of Fairy Tale Re-Tellings!

I have read this book from the beginning to the end THREE TIMES!!!! It's been a while since I've enjoyed a book so much.This book is a modern re-telling of Sleeping Beauty,yes I'm talking about the Princess Aurora story,in case you're too dumb enough to recognize it.This story is...

Finally!A ray of hope for the Vampire fiction genre! :)

I'm not a big fan of the vampire fiction genre but I decided to give The Immortal Rules a chance since I loved Julie Kagawa's Iron Fey series.And I'm glad that I did because otherwise, I would have missed reading one of the greatest books of the YA genre that...

A story with good potential

An ARC of this book was provided via Netgalley. The delight in reading this is that you feel as if the stories are over before they have even started.And every single story leaves you a lot to think about.Aside from the delight,there is also confusion,since you...

Thank you Netgalley and HarlequinTeen for the ARC. Okay people,I know that you're really freaked out by the cover but I'll ask you to give this one a chance.In fact,as much as I am ashamed to admit it,the reason that I actually agreed to read/review this book...

Wonderful story,but the ending and writing style killed it.

ARC received from Netgalley for review purposes. Ironskin is supposed to be a re-telling of Jane Eyre,steampunk style.By steampunk,I thought that it would mean more action and cool machines,but trust me,if you're thinking like that,then you're going in the wrong direction.But then again, it IS a re-telling...

A rare mixture of time-travel and chick-lit!

Thank you Heather Riccio for the ARC. :) The author has an excellent way with words.I read the entire story in one sitting(I seem to be doing that a lot nowadays) and no matter how hard I tried,I couldn't take my eyes of the kindle until I...

Recommended as a borrow-from-friend material,i.e,if you must read it.

The plot: This is where I found most of my dissappointments.The plot's lack of uniqueness was clearly visible in my eyes.Anyone who has read a lot of YA dystopic novels this year can mark this out.Especially one dystopian novel in particular,i.e,Tahereh Mafi's Shatter Me. If you've read Shatter...

An adrenaline rush from the beginning till the end!

Thank you Netgalley and Cassandra Galante for providing me an eARC of this book for review purposes. Ladies and gentlemen,I am not exaggerating one bit when I say that this book will most probably be international bestseller.I mean,just look at it.It's got an average rating of 4.41...

A Must Read For Lovers of Fairy Tale Re-Tellings!

I have read quite a few fairy-tale re-tellings this year and it was a very pleasant experience.All of them were so good that I felt that it would be cruel to say which one was the best among the type.Enchanted was one of these books.In Enchanted, the author took parts...
