Y’all I am SO excited to kick off the blog tour for Chloe Neill’s THE HUNT. If you didn’t know, I’m not only a big fan of this series but her other books as well so it’s pretty awesome that I get to share my review (and a few cool giveaways) with y’all today! Keep scrolling for my review of the third book in the […]
This book was a test of patience. How long can the reader wait for something to happen? The weird thing is that stuff did happen but it felt like it didn’t. Wrapping up with an anticlimactic ending, this book just bored me. The Hearts We Sold had an interesting premise. Demons are out in the world and they’ll grant you one wish in exchange for a body […]
I never thought I’d be reading a book about superheroes… sorry, superheroines… and I didn’t think it would be anything like Heroine Complex. I guess I was expecting lots of action and big epic battles, awesome superpowers, all that jazz. Instead, I read a book that was fabulously down-to-earth and just felt real (despite all the demon things running around the city of San Francisco). This book […]
If I had to describe this book in one word, it’d be “delightful.” One of my favorite shows is Penny Dreadful, primarily because it mashes literary characters all together in one world, which is exactly what The Strange Case of the Alchemist’s Daughter does. Though I didn’t recognize all the references made to other classics, I did pick up on a few such as Jekyll & Hide, […]
I dove into Spectacle right after finishing Menagerie (which I loved). Unfortunately I can’t say the same about the sequel. Which is funny because they’re basically the same thing. Menagerie was an interesting urban fantasy, a standout for its uniqueness compared to other books I’ve read in the genre. I can’t say I really knew where the sequel would go. The end of the last book left the cryptids […]
I think I was expecting too much from this book. I’m always on the lookout for new vampire stories because, frankly, YA vampires nearly destroyed my love of urban fantasy and I’ve been slowly trying to recover from that. Only the Dead Know Brooklyn puts a spin on vampires in that they’re undead warriors bound to the region in which they were turned. If they leave, […]
I wasn’t quite sure what to expect going into this book but I can say that I definitely liked it! First of all, it involved a carnival which is an immediate must-read for me. Add to that the elements of mythology woven throughout the world and I’m sold. It was an…. interesting experience reading it, though, because a lot of the book completely disgusted me […]
Well. It sort of improved on the first book. I mean, I don’t go into urban fantasies with very high expectations anymore if I’m being perfectly honest. They tend to be pretty formulaic regardless of the author, the characters, all of it, so I usually know what I’m getting into. So far with the Alex Craft books, there are witches and faeries (no other supernatural […]
Talk about slow going. Prior to jumping into The Bone Season, I heard AMAZING things about it as well as the sequel, The Mime Order. Which is all well and good, and likely one of the only reasons I really stuck it out with this one because I found this book to be quite the struggle. To start, I’m thankful that I knew beforehand that this was not a […]
