Book Review: Wicked Lovely by Melissa Marr

August 16, 2011 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 4 Comments

A gripping page-turner that was part romance, part suspense like someone had taken Tolkien and made it modern, dark and edgy. It tells the story of faeries in a traditional sense - that they aren't part of our world and humans don't belong in their world, either. These faeries aren't necessarily evil and out do to ... Read More »

Book Review: Forever by Maggie Stiefvater

July 18, 2011 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review Leave a Comment

Love the characters in this book.  Most of them you've known for the whole series, but in this book they start to grow and change the way real people would.  The realistic characters are what makes this story shine.  The plot felt unfinished and unresolved - not like a cliff hanger, but just like we ...

Book Review: Linger by Maggie Stiefvater

July 17, 2011 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review Leave a Comment

The pace definitely picks up in Linger.  The author switches narrators often which can be interesting and refreshing, but it was also sometimes confusing and frustrating to remember who was narrating.  There seems to be two story lines going at once and you'll find yourself rooting for one or the other. Shiver stood well on it's ... 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 »
