Book Review: The Savage Grace by Bree Despain

March 27, 2012 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review Leave a Comment

Spoiler free even if you haven't read the first book in this series. Like the rest of the series, The Savage Grace does a great job of blending the supernatural with religion. There's a lot of outward action scenes and conflict, but the inner conflict of temptation was so well done and interesting. Grace's inner struggle ... Read More »

Book Review: The Lost Saint by Bree Despain

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

Spoiler free even if you haven't read the first book in this series. My biggest complaint about The Dark Divine was that is was a typical paranormal romance.  That is not true for it's sequel, The Lost Saint.  Bree Despain breaks a lot of the stereotypes and cliches that are common in paranormal romance.  I liked ...

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 »

Book Review: The Hunchback of Notre-Dame by Victor Hugo

March 6, 2012 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 2 Comments

Everything in The Hunchback of Notre-Dame is a fascinating juxtaposition of the grotesque and the sublime - the speech, the characters, the setting. I felt like the whole point of the story was to show that architecture was the only good thing that came from the Middle Ages so for heaven's sake, don't tear those ... Read More »

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 »
