Book Review: Endlessly by Kiersten White

July 31, 2012 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 4 Comments

Spoiler free even if you haven't read the first two books in this series. One of my favorite things about this whole series is that the voice is so amazing.  You get this great, sarcastic, funny teenager who is just full of personality.  Endlessly inspires me to write better voice in my own writing.  Through the ...

Book Review: Hold Me Closer, Necromancer by Lish McBride

May 8, 2012 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 2 Comments

Hold Me Closer, Necromancer was like The Sixth Sense meets Paranormalcy. It's creepy in a funny way. At first, I felt spine-tingling horror at this one scene but when I was telling my mom about it the next day I realized that it was actually kind of funny when I wasn't reading late at night ...

Book Review: Supernaturally by Kiersten White

September 22, 2011 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 2 Comments

Spoiler free, even if you haven't read Paranormalcy #1. Supernaturally is deeper and darker than Paranormalcy. It's a little more serious and dramatic and wasn't as lighthearted as the first one. It has great action and it kept me guessing through the whole thing. Definitely a page-turner for me.  It also answers a lot of questions ... Read More »

Book Review: Paranormalcy by Kiersten White

September 6, 2011 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 3 Comments

I found myself alternately heart broken at Evie's life and laughing at the way she looked at it.  I felt like laughing and crying at the same time throughout the whole thing. Kiersten White's writing style was utterly unique and very entertaining. I can't remember the last time that I read something so wonderfully sarcastic ... Read More »

Book Review: The Great Typo Hunt by Jeff Deck

June 30, 2011 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review Leave a Comment

The cover and title caught my attention at Borders and I had to read it. The book is pretty straight forward as far as the plot, but it was the writing style that made me love this book.  It wasn't all fluff and entertainment, either.  He grew on the journey and made me laugh my ... Read More »
