Book Review: Illusions by Aprilynne Pike

May 25, 2012 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 3 Comments

Spoiler free even if you haven't read the previous books in this series. Each book in this series adds a little more to the mythology. In book 1, we learned about fairies and their biology. In book 2, we learned about where the fairies live and their culture. In Illusions we got to learn a lot about ... Read More »

Book Review: Spells by Aprilynne Pike

Book Review Spells Aprilynne Pike

Spoiler free even if you haven't read the first book in this series. Spells was just as engrossing and lovely as the first book. I adore this take on fairy mythology. It's enchanting, unique and filled with the kind of things that I love to day dream about - fairies, flowers, castles, and houses made of ... Read More »

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

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: Hold Me Closer, Necromancer by Lish McBride

May 8, 2012 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 2 Comments

Hold Me Closer, Necromancer was like The Sixth Sense meets Paranormalcy. It's creepy in a funny way. At first, I felt spine-tingling horror at this one scene but when I was telling my mom about it the next day I realized that it was actually kind of funny when I wasn't reading late at night ...

Book Review: The Vicious Deep by Zoraida Cordova

May 1, 2012 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 3 Comments

The Vicious Deep starts out with a guy narrating for a change, which was nice. Not only that, but the voice was amazingly well done - it felt authentic and like what an average teenage boy would really think and say (as far as I know....I am a girl). This debut novel had a lot of ... Read More »
