Book Review: Shayla Witherwood by Tamra Torero

August 14, 2012 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 3 Comments

Book Review Shayla Witherwood Tamera Torero

Shayla Witherwood was like Bewitched goes to high school, but she's a half-fairy instead of a witch. I got the Bewtiched vibe because Shayla would use her fairy powers for very small, every day things like the witch Samantha would. It was a cute, fun, and sweet tale about a girl trying to fit in. ... Read More »

Book Review: Return to Exile by E.J. Patten

May 22, 2012 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 2 Comments

Book Review Return to Exile R. J. Patten

Return to Exile was like Ghostbusters (with teens) meets A Series of Unfortunate Events with a tiny bit of Inception sprinkled on top. It was a pretty cool combination. Just when I thought that nothing else could go wrong, it would go all Unfortunate-Events on me and get worse. The witty humor was one of my ... Read More »

Book Review: Tribal Scarring by Gary Taaffe

April 19, 2012 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 2 Comments

Urban Hunters Collection Gary Taaffe

Spoiler free even if you haven't read the first book in this series. Tribal Scarring is the second short story in the Urban Hunters series and it was a little more serious than the first book, Four Small Stones. I missed the light-hearted humor of the first one. Still, it was a nice contrast to see the ... Read More »

Book Review: The Hunger Games Tribute Guide

March 23, 2012 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review Leave a Comment

The Hunger Games Tribute Guide is a quick read and it sure got me excited to see the movie! It was a nice refresher of the details of how the Hunger Games work. I felt such irony and sarcasm coming from the pages. But more than half of the tributes didn't even have names. Seriously ... Read More »

Book Review: The Dark Divine by Bree Despain

March 20, 2012 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 2 Comments

I loved the slow suspense of The Dark Divine. The best part of the suspense was that I had no idea who or what Daniel was for most of the book. The portrayal of the fight between good and evil was great, but for most of the book I felt like it was a typical paranormal ... Read More »
