This series started out really slow for me. I gave the first book 3 stars. The second book blew me away, and I gave it 5 stars. The characterization in the second book, I felt, was phenomenal. I was really looking forward to the third book to see how Hamilton concluded this series. I liked … Continue reading Hero at the Fall by Alwyn Hamilton
Unwholly by Neal Shusterman
This being a sequel, I don't have much to say. This is an excellent series whose political climate in some ways mimics our own. I think these are powerful stories. They are also super fun. This follows a world where unruly kids can be unwound and their parts (organs) given to sick people. Paralyzed? Get … Continue reading Unwholly by Neal Shusterman
The Novice by Taran Matharu
I pulled this one out of my TBR jar in January! This follows Fletcher, who is a blacksmith apprentice that happens to find out he has the power to summon demons. However, he does something really bad back in his homeland and he is on the run from certain execution. He finds himself in a … Continue reading The Novice by Taran Matharu
Unwind by Neal Shusterman
So, at the end of last month I started reading Challenger Deep, and I just could not get into the writing style. However, I wanted to give Neal Shusterman a second chance. This takes place in a world where you can "unwind" unruly teenagers. The act of unwinding is taking their body parts and giving … Continue reading Unwind by Neal Shusterman
The Prisoner of Cell 25 by Richard Paul Evans
When I picked this up, I was looking for a really fast fun read! I go the opposite. I DNF'd this one 59% of the way through. I really tried to like this. If you know me, I absolutely do not like to DNF books. This follows Michael, who has electrical powers. He meets another … Continue reading The Prisoner of Cell 25 by Richard Paul Evans
Eliza and Her Monsters by Francesca Zappia!
I pulled this one out of TBR for the month of January. I was terrified to read it because I also read Fangirl in January. I feel there are a lot of similarities between the two books because they are both dealing with fandoms. This follows Eliza, who is the creator of a very successful … Continue reading Eliza and Her Monsters by Francesca Zappia!
The Red Labyrinth by Meredith Tate
I want to thank Netgalley and Flux for letting me read an advanced copy of this novel. So, I joined Netgalley to read and review lesser known titles. I can pick these titles based off the synopsis and not pressure from other readers. I don't feel guilty if I'm not reading the most popular book … Continue reading The Red Labyrinth by Meredith Tate
The Dream Thieves by Maggie Stiefvater
I've said it before when I reviewed The Raven Boys. Me and Maggie had a falling out over her Wolves of Mercy Falls series (is that even the name?). It was just bad. I like The Raven Boys okay, and I decided to continue into the series. I listened to the audio book on this, … Continue reading The Dream Thieves by Maggie Stiefvater
Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carol
This is a reread for me. I think I read this the first time in middle school. Of course, I don't remember anything about it because that was a VERY long time ago for me. Confession.... I HATE CLASSICS. There, I said it. I cannot get used to the writing style. I'm not really quite … Continue reading Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carol
The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides
First of all, I would just like to say that I knew nothing about this book going into it and that is how I generally like it. I got this book at a Book of the Month pick because it sounded interesting, but I hadn't heard a ton about it before hand. This is a … Continue reading The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides
