Book Review: Among the Nameless Stars by Diana Peterfreund

November 11, 2014 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 2 Comments

Among the Nameless Stars was a prequel novella for one of my favorite novels, For Darkness Shows the Stars.  The writing in this novella didn't seem to be the same quality that I loved in the novel.  The story was ok but not terribly interesting.  I feel like if there's going to be a prequel ...

Book Review: Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins

November 6, 2014 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 5 Comments

Anna and the French Kiss was a cute teen romance with delightful writing.  There was lots of drama which is very realistic to what teen relationships are really like. So what are teen relationships really like? Hint: they lack communication and have lots of drama.  The couple in this book fights a lot which I found ... Read More »

Book Review: Snow Like Ashes by Sara Raasch

October 14, 2014 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 3 Comments

Spoiler free even if you haven't read the first book in this series.  Elisa has been growing and changing throughout the series and The Bitter Kingdom was no exception.  She starts to define herself by trying new things and seeing what she likes instead of focusing on comparing herself to others, especially her sister, and coming up ...

Book Review: Infinite by Jodi Meadows

July 24, 2014 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 1 Comment

Spoiler free even if you haven't read the first book in this series.  Infinite was the best book in the Newsoul series.  I thought it had a great, quick pace which the other two books before this lacked. My favorite thing was getting to see more of the creatures that were just mentioned in the other ... Read More »
