Book Review: Pivot Point by Kasie West

February 8, 2013 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 2 Comments

Book Review Pivot Point Kasie West

The world in Pivot Point seems like the kind of world that Lois Lowry would write about. It seems contemporary but there is a small paranormal twist to the whole thing. And by paranormal I mean "real" paranormal mind powers and not like werewolves and vampires and crap like that. Everyone has mental abilities and ... Read More »

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: Clockwork Prince by Cassandra Clare

December 21, 2011 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 3 Comments

Spoiler free even if you haven't read the first book in this series. Clockwork Prince is like A Tale of Two Cities meets warlocks, werewolves, with a little steampunk and it's all set in Victorian England. The first thing I noticed about Clockwork Prince was how much detail goes into the world that she has created. It ... Read More »

Book Review: The Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare

July 3, 2011 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 3 Comments

Will's character bugged me most of the time (mostly because he reminded me of Jace from the Mortal Instrument Series).  Sometimes it just didn't feel like the story and characters "fit" in Victorian England. But overall, it was entertaining.  It was a page-turner for me.  The author is very good at creating an unpredictable story and ... Read More »

Book Review: The Body Finder by Kimberly Derting

June 27, 2011 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review Leave a Comment

I was disappointed by this book - 200 pages in I was still waiting for the story to start. I had to make myself finish it. It was more teen novel with a tiny bit of super-natural sprinkled in.  That being said, I like super-natural stories and I was expecting there to be more of ... Read More »
