I heard such great things about this book, I really wanted to like it A LOT. Unfortunately, it rather let me down. I’m thinking the series gets better as it progresses since I hear so many great things about the Mortal Instruments. I mig…

What can I say? The story line was interesting enough to keep me engaged. It wasn’t a book I spent hours reading at night, but it also didn’t…

Lately I’ve been reading the ending of trilogies with one eye squinted in apprehension. 🙂 I was pleased to find my fears were unjustified with Head Rush. The final book offered a satisfying conclusion to a wonderful trilogy.

Expect my …

By far the best read I’ve had all year. I’m totally buying "What a Boy Needs" RIGHT NOW! I’ll add more to me review later. Right now I’ve got to get that book!

I’ll just come out…

I have to say, I enjoyed this one better than the first. I’m pretty eager to see what Cat & Bones have for me next.

I’m seeing some definite improvement with this series as I advance through. This one started out with the good stuff and had very few everyday mundane things happening. This was a 3.5 star read for me, but since there are no half stars, …

The stories just keep getting better and better. I’m a bit sad… I don’t have the next book on my shelf. I’m also quite excited. I’ve found there are spinoff series featuring Vlad and Spade, whom I’m quite fond of. 🙂 I’ll be honest, fo…

The blurb on the back of this work was a bit misleading. I thought the ghoul queen would have a greater role, but really her role was no more prevalent than the one she played in the last book. Yes, an important role, but I saw very litt…

I’m going to start with the cover. Going into this book, I had no idea the girl was interracial (black/white). Now I’m not saying a gal like the one on the cover couldn’t be interracial. However, the description in the book made her seem…

Bravo!

I was looking for something short and sexy. This was it. In very few words, the author managed to create meaningful characters in addition to a plot which made me think "it could happen." 🙂 The sex was hot and well-written. Defi…

This book was supplied to me by the publisher through NetGalley.

This was NOTHING like The Iron King…

This book surprised me a bit. I’d expect a lot more, but by the end of the book, not much had been resolved.

I wasn’t at all fond of the heroine. She thought she was quite …

Fabulous sequel to Ashfall. I’m guessing there will be a third book in the series since it was a bit open-ended. I can’t believe I read the entire book in 24 hours.

The first thing I noticed about this work was the narrative. I don’t recall ever reading a work in first person plural. This story was told from the per…

For the longest time… okay, for the last couple of years, I’ve wanted to read a romance written by a male. Lorenzo il Magnifico gave me that opportu…

Hmmm…. I guess I’m a bit shocked. When this book came in the mail, my daughter and I debated who would read it first. Since I was in the middle of a book, she got it. 🙂 At last my turn came. I hopped in, full of eager anticipation. I …

I’m going to have to reflect on this a bit. BSDM really isn’t my ‘cup of tea’ as Kitty likes to put it. Beyond the BSDM the style was interesting and reminded me a bit of The Story of O… the movie that is, since I’ve never read the boo…

Replication had two story lines. The first centered around Abbey, a gal who’s moved into a new school from DC to AK after her father landed a new job. I have to say, I wasn’t at all impressed with this portion of the novel. Abbey came of…
