Review: The Friday Society by Adrienne Kress

Review: The Friday Society by Adrienne Kress

This was me at Barnes and Noble the day I picked up “The Friday Society”: Ohh what a pretty cover, but that’s not what I came here for (leaves YA section). Hmm I love this place. I wonder what radio station this is? Ohh pretty calendar. Look it’s that pretty cover again… Wait. How did I […]

Review: Immortally Yours by Angie Fox

Review: Immortally Yours by Angie Fox

I am a complete and total sucker for books that have: A.) Zombies B.) Vampires C.) Mythology (as a whole) So imagine how cool I thought this book was going to be when I saw there was a sphinx, vampire, werewolf AND “gorgeous but stubborn demi-god” and some type of crazy “oracle”? Then you throw […]

Review: Love Unrehearsed by Tina Reber

Review: Love Unrehearsed by Tina Reber

“Love Unrehearsed” left me a tad confused emotionally. One side of me was so happy for Ryan and Taryn, but another side of me was sick off all the self-doubt, then another side of me had a lot of laughs. Hmm… Not only did this book leave me confused but somehow I have acquired a multiple […]

Review: The Dead and Buried by Kim Harrington

Review: The Dead and Buried by Kim Harrington

Really? So no one is going to say it? Nobody? Ok. Fine. If you all won’t say it I guess I will be the bad guy. I didn’t like “The Dead and Buried”. There, I said it. It’s out there into the infinite universe that is the internet. I waited patiently and eagerly for “The Dead and Buried”. […]

Review:Dinner with a Vampire by Abigail Gibbs

Review:Dinner with a Vampire by Abigail Gibbs

I have very mixed feelings about this book. On the one hand I seriously hated maybe the first 60% of it. Even though it starts with Violet witnessing a mass murder (vampires vs. slayers) the story really dragged for me. Chapters 2 through 30 was a complete and total bore to read, and even though […]

Review: Reflected in You by Sylvia Day

Review: Reflected in You by Sylvia Day

*me at page 182* I’m done! I just can’t take all this back and forth and back and forth non-sense any more! *Me five minutes later* No Octavia! You have invested too many emotions, too much time, and a month long library wait list to have this book! You. Will. Finish IT!  You will not […]

Review: Independence by Shelly Crane

Review: Independence by Shelly Crane

*Please give me a second to get over my shock, and varying emotions.* I can’t believe it’s over. Yes I know I can re-read it, but as my fellow book lover’s know, re-reading a book has nothing on getting to read it and fall in love with it for the first time. Independence was a fantastic […]

False Memory by Dan Krokos

False Memory by Dan Krokos

Who says not to judge a book by it’s cover?! I picked up False Memory because the cover completely caught (and kept) my attention, and that’s saying something with my squirrel like attention span. It wasn’t just the close up of what I believe is a computer chip, or the two people running, or the gloomy […]

Come Away with Me by Kristen Proby Mini-Review

Come Away with Me by Kristen Proby Mini-Review

I was really hesitant to pick up “Come Away with Me” because it sounded like another book I read and didn’t really like. Luckily a few blogs that I stalk frequently had said some great things about it, and I really needed a break from the whole YA genre. So I bought a copy on my […]
