Book Review: The Gleaning by Heidi R. Kling

October 23, 2012 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 6 Comments

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

October 11, 2012 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 7 Comments

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: Life of Pi by Yann Martel

August 21, 2012 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 7 Comments

Book Review Life of Pi Yann Martel

The Life of Pi is like The Old Man and the Sea kicked up a notch with wild animals that certainly don't belong in the ocean and a 16 year old boy. Part 1 of the story is full of amusing honesty, entertaining writing, and fascinating educational passages about religion and animals. One of the ... Read More »

Book Review: Insurgent by Veronica Roth

July 24, 2012 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 3 Comments

Book Review Insurgent Veronica Roth

Spoiler free even if you haven't read the first book in this series.  Insurgent picked up right where Divergent left off which made it nice to read them one after the other. Divergent was good and set up the world really well, but I liked the conflict in Insurgent much better. The factions are so interesting ... Read More »
