Cinder is our protagonist, our Cinderella. As if being verbally abused and treated as a slave like the original wasn’t enough, Cinder is a cyborg-meaning parts of her are robotic. This was a little disturbing and I would have disliked it had I not realized how much humanity Cinder has in her. She wants to be human. Cinder works as […]

Review: Of Poseidon by Anna Banks
OF POSEIDON gets many mixed reviews. Looking through them on Goodreads I found the majority being four/five stars or just one. I am on the four stars side, I enjoyed the novel’s strengths far more than I opposed its weaknesses. Yes, a character dies near the beginning of the novel. Was it necessary? Maybe not, but at least the main […]
Review: Wither by Lauren DeStefano
First of all, let me say that this book talks about some touchy subjects such as kidnapping and polygamy. It is Young Adult and deals with them in a way that is appropriate for the age of the genre but if such things bother you, stray away from the novel. You will not like it. I’m a pretty open person […]
Review: Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo
SHADOW AND BONE has easily made its way onto my self as my favorite book of 2012, and that’s a lot of books. 150 so far, to be precise. This book could make unicorns cry. It’s that amazing. It also has one of the best villains I have read about: the Darkling. His character alone should be reason enough for […]
Review: Incarnate
I had somewhat of a hard time rating this novel. Part of me wants to give it five stars because I enjoyed reading it that much. But another part of me recognizes there are some flaws and things I did not like and is why I ended up giving INCARNATE three stars. The romance overshadows the plot for the majority […]
Review: The Duff: Designated Ugly Fat Friend
I seem to have become a habit that I really like books that most people just find average at best.I don’t know how well this review will turn out, considering how bad I am at conveying why I love books. It’s easy to explain why a book is awful, but my brain turns all mushy and gets off track on […]
Review: The Gathering
I really love Kelley Armstrong’s novels, especially the Darkest Powers trilogy, because they have a young adult plot with substance. By this I mean they actually have a solid mystery and background and originality behind what would otherwise be a typical young adult book. I pretty much only picked this up because of my faith in Kelley Armstrong’s writing. […]
