Book Review: Divide and Conquer by Carrie Ryan

July 30, 2013 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 5 Comments

Book Review Divide and Conquer Infinity Ring Carrie Ryan

Spoiler free even if you haven't read the first book in this series.  Divide and Conquer, book 2 in the Inifinity Ring series, starts off talking about Paris which was actually where the last game ended and not where book 1 ended.  It was a cool way to tie the online games in with the books. ...

Book Review: The Actor and the Housewife by Shannon Hale

July 1, 2013 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 8 Comments

Book Review The Actor and the Housewife Shannon Hale

The Actor and the Housewife was an emotional journey full of Shannon's usual charm and wit. It explored really well the idea of whether a men and a women can be "just friends."  I got to live out the fantasy vicarioulsy of "What if you met your ultimate Hollywood crush" and it was a lot of ...

Book Review: Harken by Kaleb Nation

It was funny and witty.  I really enjoyed the quest that Michael goes on for the truth.  The way Michael had to figure out and follow obscure clues all ... Read More »

Book Review: Life in the Pit by Kristen Landon

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: Bullies by Gary Taaffe

May 15, 2013 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 1 Comment

Book Review Bullies Gary Taaffe

Bullies is another fun short story in the Urban Hunters series.  I really liked how we got to learn a little more about Billy and Amber and their personalities.  We get to see their relationship grow in little, adorable ways.  But I really struggled with the conflict in this one.  It just didn't feel real ...
