Book Review: Life in the Pit by Kristen Landon

May 25, 2013 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 1 Comment

Book Review Life in the Pit Kristen Landon

Life in the Pit was a cute, quick romance that piqued my interest because the main character is a cellist and I love the cello! The story revolves around a play that isn't real, but sounds like a mash-up of every Jane Austen novel ever written with a dash of Clue.  Brittany is playing in ... Read More »

Book Review: Tiger Lily by Jodi Lynn Anderson

April 29, 2013 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 6 Comments

Take the beautiful, imaginary world of Neverland and make it a literal place where everything is messy and covered in dirt and that is the uninteresting world where Tiger Lily is set.  I didn't think it was possible to make Neverland so completely boring.  A few magical elements remain like fairies and mermaids but they felt very flat ...

Book Review: Romeo Redeemed by Stacey Jay

October 9, 2012 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 2 Comments

Spoiler free even if you haven't read the first book in this series.  I loved the character Romeo from Juliet Immortal.  Even though Romeo is evil in the first book, I felt like there was a Darth Vader thing going on.  Maybe he went bad for the "right" reasons and there is still some good in ...

Book Review: For Darkness Shows the Stars by Diana Peterfreund

October 2, 2012 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 15 Comments

First of all, I loved finding all the similarities between For Darkness Shows the Stars and Persuasion. The book stands really well on it's own if you don't want to read Persuasion, but I had a lot of fun recognizing the familiar characters. For Darkness Shows the Stars is set in a post-apocalyptic world, but ... Read More »
