Book Review: Pyxis: The Discovery by K.C. Neal

February 21, 2012 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review Leave a Comment

I liked the originality of this book.  It felt like one of the few books that really deserves the title "paranormal" (you know, the clairvoyant kind) because of it's unique combination of dreams and reality. I can't think of any other books to compare it to. The mystery in this book was great.  It kept ... Read More »

Book Review: Above World by Jenn Reese

February 14, 2012 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 4 Comments

Above World was an interesting mix of mythological creatures and our modern world of technology. You'll find mermaids and computers in one breath. I was pleasantly surprised by the dystopian undertone to it all that gave it some wonderful depth. In this fascinating world that Jenn has built, there are several cultures based on mythological creatures ... Read More »

Book Review: Forbidden by Syrie and Ryan M. James

January 19, 2012 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 3 Comments

Forbidden felt like angels meet X-Men. The conflict and characters reminded me a lot of the first X-Men movie. It was told from two points of view: Alec's and Claire's, which I found refreshing. It was nice not to read a one-sided love story. The characters had a lot of depth to them and they ... Read More »

Book Review: Vengeance by Michelle Madow

January 4, 2012 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 1 Comment

Spoiler free even if you haven't read the first book in this series.  This short novella was a great set up for the last book of this series.  Vengeance felt like a teaser filled with tension and a conflict that you just know is going to make for an epic ending. It was a quick and compelling ...

Book Review: Rumors by Anna Godbersen

December 20, 2011 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review Leave a Comment

Spoiler free even if you haven't read the first book in this series. Gossip Girl in 1899 continues.  The pace felt slower in Rumors than it did in the first book, The Luxe. The first book had one main story line that was told from many points of view, but Rumors had lots of divergent story ... Read More »
