Trolls...Really? YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hocking convinced a skeptic on this one! When I first started reading, I was very skeptical about the world of Trylle, especially once I found out that the main character, Wendy, was a troll. However, this book forces the reader to reevaluate the stereotype surrounding trolls, and...

A truly "Elite Sequel"

Although I was hoping by this point, America would truly be focused on one man, I still cannot put this series down. At the start of the book only six remain, and America is the underdog in the public's eye. I mean after all, she was a...

A Must-read, can't-put-down, don't-want-to-end novel

I did not expect to love this book. I mean, LOVE. I read both The Selection and The Elite within twelve hours. I couldn't put it down, and stayed up in the morning hours, just like Kiera Cass warned in her afterword. America (protagonist) is living in...

Mixed Feelings- Love & Hate

I want to start off by saying that I really liked this book, but I felt like it was so radically different than the first three books. It is almost like Westerfield built off the fame of the first book to just include this one in the series, although it...

A Must Read Dystopia

If you liked the Hunger Games, this book is for you. As I read Tally YoungBlood's story, Katniss Everdeen was not far from my mind. If you like strong heroines, you will like Tally. True to the young adult genre, there is also a love triangle,...

A Touchy Subject

I can easily say that the spectrum of emotions I felt while reading this was overwhelming. With that being said, I will also say that is one of the best books I ever read. I honestly feel that it is impossible to not fall in love with...
