Review - Bloodlines by Richelle Mead

August 31, 2013 | Book Review by Austine

I’m honestly surprised it took me this long to write a review for one of Richelle Mead’s books. I’ve read-and own-all but her newest series, but never actually got around to reviewing any of them. Though if owning most of her books is any indication, I’m definitely a fan. Bloodlines took time to get used to after reading the Vampire Academy series. As this book […]

Review - Chasing the Shadows by Keri Arthur

August 24, 2013 | Book Review by Austine

Keri Arthur kept the pace of Hearts in Darkness going in this third installment of the Nikki & Michael series. The couple has had their ups and downs, especially as Michael is trying to do everything he can to keep Nikki safe, even if it means hiding his work from her. For anyone who read the first two books, you know that Nikki isn’t one […]

Review - Lover Awakened by J.R. Ward

August 20, 2013 | Book Review by Austine

When I read the back of Lover Awakened and realized it was Zsadist’s story, I was hesitant to read it. He wasn’t exactly the most well-loved of the Brothers in Dark Lover andLover Eternal but I couldn’t stand not knowing his story (especially since I wanted to keep reading the series and knew I’d miss a chunk of the story by not reading this book). […]

Review - Rise from Darkness by Ciara Knight

August 19, 2013 | Book Review by Austine

In the beginning, Rise from Darkness intrigued me. We meed Gaby, a girl plagued with the memory of her mother’s death and lost in her own reality. She hides behind her art, which even then reveals this troubled past of hers. All she wants is to have a normal life (cue cliche). But that’s not how life works, especially when you have a fallen angel […]

Review - Fevered Souls by S.K. Falls

August 9, 2013 | Book Review by Austine

Fevered Souls isn’t exactly a book, per say. Instead, it’s a collection of novellas bound together as a series with each novella as an episode — not something I’m quite used to. I’ve never really been a fan of novellas since a) I finish them too quickly, and b) I usually don’t get attached enough to the characters or the writing style to want to […]

Review - Shudder by Samantha Durante

August 3, 2013 | Book Review by Austine

After finishing Shudder, I’d definitely have to say that it was better than book 1 of the series, Stitch. The novel picks up right after Stitch with Alessa and Isaac, with new twists and turns, and even a couple new characters. Durante brings this dystopian world to life through her characters and world-building, keeping her strong writing style flowing from Stitch to Shudder. If you like […]
