Book Review: The Maze Runner Files by James Dashner

June 14, 2016 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 4 Comments

Book Review Maze Runner Files James Dashner

Maze Runner Files is the story of how the flare came to be and is told in bleeped out recording transcripts and inter-office WICKED memos. It was so creepy. I haven't been creeped out that much since the bridge of Khazad-dûm in Lord of the Rings (I'm talking about book not the movie.) It talks ... Read More »

Book Review: Four by Veronica Roth

May 17, 2016 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 3 Comments

I'm surprised how much I liked this book. I was not wild about ALLEGIANT and I didn't think I would be interested to read more about this series. Honestly, I thought Four was much more interesting to follow than Tris. He's more conflicted and I liked learning his thoughts and motivations. They weren't what I ... Read More »

Book Review: Among the Nameless Stars by Diana Peterfreund

November 11, 2014 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 2 Comments

Among the Nameless Stars was a prequel novella for one of my favorite novels, For Darkness Shows the Stars.  The writing in this novella didn't seem to be the same quality that I loved in the novel.  The story was ok but not terribly interesting.  I feel like if there's going to be a prequel ...

Book Review: Infinite by Jodi Meadows

July 24, 2014 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 1 Comment

Spoiler free even if you haven't read the first book in this series.  Infinite was the best book in the Newsoul series.  I thought it had a great, quick pace which the other two books before this lacked. My favorite thing was getting to see more of the creatures that were just mentioned in the other ... Read More »

Book Review: Elusion by Claudia Gabel and Cheryl Klam

June 26, 2014 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 2 Comments

Elusion was a fun adventure but it felt like an introduction to a longer novel instead of the first book in a series.  I liked that it took the time to set up the world and characters, but I don't like it when the first book in a series doesn't resolve anything at all.  I didn't ... Read More »
