Beautiful Chaos (Caster Chronicles: Book 3)

Beautiful and spellbinding, a great book for the young adults of this generation. What I loved about this story was how it flowed, how it moved and picked up the ending. I have to say it progressed very well and picked up neatly. The style of this novel was amazing. The ending, which was unsuspecting and threw me such a huge curve ball was done … Continue reading Beautiful Chaos (Caster Chronicles: Book 3)

Deadly Little Lessons (A Touch Novel: Book 4)

I really need to stop falling in love with fictional characters, but then again, it’s due to the Stolarz’s writing that makes him so irresistible. His characterization, his pain and anguish is captured beautifully in both the description and dialogue. So I’m in love with him. And the characterization goes along with all the characters. Each of them is so well designed and thought out … Continue reading Deadly Little Lessons (A Touch Novel: Book 4)

The Haunting (Sisters of Isis: Book 4)

What can I say, not that great of a book. Granted it was better than the previous novel, but not by much. Here you had the character that is the neediest of them all. Another thing that makes this series so much weaker than the previous is the fact that Isis helps out way more than The Goddess of the Moon ever did. Sure, in … Continue reading The Haunting (Sisters of Isis: Book 4)

Utopia

Another hard book to critique. This book is about the concept of Utopia, the idea of a coexisting uniform. Just think 1984. There are so many extreme ideas in this book, but for the most part in this society, they seem to work. A lot of them are very extreme and I think, believe rather, is that Sir Thomas More was mocking his society. Think … Continue reading Utopia

City of the Lost Souls (The Mortal Instruments: Book 5)

Heartbreaking, captivating and an intoxicatingly great read. Great book. I mean just a great book. I loved how it progressed from the beginning to the end. I loved how it progressed from the beginning to the end. We got to see a darker side to Clary that gave her more depth which was great. I absolutely loved that about this book, the fact that the … Continue reading City of the Lost Souls (The Mortal Instruments: Book 5)

Vortex (Star Wars: Fate of the Jedi: Book 6)

Great book! Oh my god I loved it so much. There was so much that happened in this book, simply so much. The writing was fluid and the characterization was awesome, I truly got a sense of who the characters were. However, I don’t like Luke Skywalker so much in this book. Yes, I actually said that and I am as shocked as you all. … Continue reading Vortex (Star Wars: Fate of the Jedi: Book 6)

Handling the Undead

Zombies, what are you going to do with them lol. The structure of this book focused on many characters. The structure of this book is very different from other things that I have seen. It consists of characters, chapters are sections of time. Taking place over a few days. At the end of the day there is an over view of how television and the … Continue reading Handling the Undead

Deadly Little Games ( A Touch Novel: Book 3)

I loved this book! It was suspenseful, thrilling and heart wrenching. Whenever my eyes came across Ben’s name, I swear my heart stopped a beat. I love Laurie’s writing, it’s not forced, it’s perfect and her ability to paint a picture for everything is beautiful. I loved this book, I could not put it down to the point that I finished it in a little … Continue reading Deadly Little Games ( A Touch Novel: Book 3)
