Book Review: Urban Hunters Collection Books 1-3 by Gary Taaffe

October 25, 2012 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review Leave a Comment

Urban Hunters Collection Gary Taaffe

The Urban Hunters is like The Jungle Book set in Aboriginal Australia. When I saw the subtitle, “Billy’s Gotta Find Some Girls,” I knew I had to read it. I was pulled in from the first page by how vivid and visual the writing was. I was immersed in an entirely new and fascinating culture ... Read More »

Book Review: The Gleaning by Heidi R. Kling

Book Review The Gleaning Heidi R Kling

Spoiler free even if you haven't read the first book in this series.  The Gleaning is about a witch and warlock who are supposed to be enemies instead of lovers.  Lily and Logan have been raised to fight each other to keep a balance between their light and dark magic.  I loved how this was action-packed ...

Book Review: Witch’s Brew by Heidi R. Kling

Book Review Witch's Brew Heidi R. Kling

Witch's Brew is like Romeo and Juliet meets witches and magic.  I also smiled at a few Harry Potter references like the term "You Know Who," and a restricted library. The magic was different and fun. Men and women have different powers. Witch's magic involves beauty, flowers, healing and nature. Warlocks are their enemies and have ... Read More »

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: Fables of the Flag by Ethan Coffee

Book Review Fables of the Flag Ethan Coffee

Fables of the Flag is about a boy, Jack, who travels back in time and meets a young Benjamin Franklin.  The story was cute, but I was not a big fan of the writing.  It felt like too much telling and not enough showing.  Some things weren't fleshed out like they could of been like ... Read More »
