I have such intense feelings about this book. And they’re not all good ones, so I’ve waited awhile before writing the review in the hope that my feelings will have calmed a bit. It starts with a whisper: “It’s time for you to know who you are…” Violet Eden dreads her seventeenth birthday. After all,…

Everyone knows which two things in life are inevitable – death and taxes. But what if death wasn’t inevitable? What if you could live several lives? Would you act differently knowing you might be able to come back? Would you, maybe, take more risks? As a little girl, Daisy Appleby was killed in a school bus crash….

I have no idea why I wanted to read this one as bad as I did. I mean, sure I love angel books but this one sounded…different. It sound like it would be less FUN and more, I’m trying to say something important about society. And, to a point, it was that…but it was also…

Article 5 was one of those books that drags you along through the muck and trees and rocks until you’re sure you can’t take anymore, but then you find that you like the muck and trees and rocks and soon after that, you find yourself screaming, ‘Bring it on!’ to whatever else is out there…

Have you ever wondered what it’d be like to be in the center of an international murder mystery? Have you ever watched a Bourne movie or read a James Bond book and thought, “Yeah, I could do that”? Unfortunately, for Nora, she neither asked for nor wanted the responsibility that was thrust upon her. She…

I was really excited for this book before it came out, mostly from the cover. It’s a gorgeous cover. Then I read the summary and I knew I had to read it. It just struck too many chords with me to ignore. After the first chapter, I knew I’d picked correctly because this book, guys,…

This is one of those books that I don’t remember how I heard about it but I remember the summary sounded different than most of the books on my shelf. Sixteen-year-old Ephraim Scott is horrified when he comes home from school and finds his mother unconscious at the kitchen table, clutching a bottle of pills….

Holly Black’s Curse Workers series is one that we’ve all (with the exception of Katie, because she’s silly and doesn’t like mob books) obsessed about for a while. I still remember getting to the end of Red Glove and feeling like I was going to lose my mind with the need to have Black Heart…

Last year, I bought Saundra Mitchell’s The Vespertine because I thought it had a pretty cover and I’m shallow like that. Of course, as I said in my review at the time, I ended up really liking it, in large part because of the characters. When I found out we’d get sequels/companion novels with more…

This book is not one I would normally read, but I found myself drawn to it. Maybe it’s because I’ve always wondered what it would be like to be lost inside your head, like in I Never Promised You a Rose Garden. Being such an avid reader, I find myself lost in daydreams and what-ifs…
