Book Review: Timeless by Michelle Madow

November 20, 2012 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review Leave a Comment

Spoiler free even if you haven't read the first book in this series.  Timeless is the last book in the Transcend Time series.  This finale is about reincarnated lovers, Drew and Lizzie, who now have to get rid of a curse before they can be together forever.  I thought Timeless was a cute, fun and fast ...

Book Review: For Darkness Shows the Stars by Diana Peterfreund

October 2, 2012 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 15 Comments

First of all, I loved finding all the similarities between For Darkness Shows the Stars and Persuasion. The book stands really well on it's own if you don't want to read Persuasion, but I had a lot of fun recognizing the familiar characters. For Darkness Shows the Stars is set in a post-apocalyptic world, but ... Read More »

I knew where I hoped the plot would go, but ... Read More »

Book Review: Endlessly by Kiersten White

July 31, 2012 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 4 Comments

Spoiler free even if you haven't read the first two books in this series. One of my favorite things about this whole series is that the voice is so amazing.  You get this great, sarcastic, funny teenager who is just full of personality.  Endlessly inspires me to write better voice in my own writing.  Through the ...

Book Review: Seraphina by Rachel Hartman

July 17, 2012 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 8 Comments

Book Review Seraphina Rachel Hartman

Seraphina starts of with a traditional medieval fantasy setting, including the rich backdrop of medieval music which I loved. There's an entire mythology of Saints to this world, none of which are very saint-like and it made me laugh. The conflict was a typical one about the mistrust and prejudice between two races. But further ... Read More »
