Sidekick Saturday #5 – Bad Turned Good

Sidekick Saturday #5 – Bad Turned Good

Sidekick Saturday #5 – Bad Turned Good Sidekick Saturday is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by Jaclyn at JC’s Book Haven. There are many secondary characters that are as great as the primaries. In some cases, the sidekicks actually steal the show and you like them better than the heroine or hero. Maybe they didn’t have enough page time for how great they were. Anyone can play along! Just do the following: • Choose a sidekick *or someone other than the hero or heroine* that you would like to put in the spotlight that fits in this week’s type • Share a picture (if possible) and information about the character • Give the title and author of a book the character […]

Review: Dead Ever After (Sookie Stackhouse #13) – Charlaine Harris

Review: Dead Ever After (Sookie Stackhouse #13) – Charlaine Harris

Dead Ever After is the last book in the Sookie Stackhouse series, and the ending was quite logical – and most characters from past books showed up in Bon Temps to help Sookie with some problems she had, and at the same time, it also felt like they had come to say goodbye to the readers. This made Dead Ever After feel like goodbye as well – even if there was a lot of stuff happening that had something to do with what had happened in prior books. Sookie once more found herself in the middle of an intriguing mystery, and at the same time, she had to deal with Sam’s withdrawal after she had brought him back to life. […]

Review: The Testing (The Testing #1) – Joelle Charbonneau

Review: The Testing (The Testing #1) – Joelle Charbonneau

*I received a free ARC of The Testing from Houghton Mifflin Books for Children via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* The Testing starts with Cia’s graduation, and the hope that she will be selected for the testing in the Commonwealth’s capital Tosu City. Several of Cia’s friens think she’ll be chosen, even if it has been a long time since any student from Five Lakes has been chosen. When no government official shows up, Cia tries her best not to show her disappointment, her oldest brother Zeen understands exactly how she feels, though. The next day, a government official arrives, though, and he wants to see Cia and three other graduates from her class. Cia is elated when […]

Blog Tour: Review + Giveaway: Where the Four Winds Collide – Hildie McQueen

Blog Tour: Review + Giveaway: Where the Four Winds Collide – Hildie McQueen

*I received a free ARC of Where the Four Winds Collide from Enchantress of Book Blogtours in exchange of an honest review* Where the Four Winds Collide is a sweet western romance, with a heroine who is ready to do what it takes to save herself! It is refreshing when there is a heroine who is able to take care of herself, even if she hasn’t necessarily learned how. Adeline is one of those heroines who is both cute, polite, and very proper,  but she will do what it takes to make sure she is safe, and away from her tormentors. As Adeline makes her escape, the readers also get to meet Jackson, who is in a bad mood realizing […]

Review: Gameboard of the Gods (Age of X #1) – Richelle Mead

Review: Gameboard of the Gods (Age of X #1) – Richelle Mead

*I received a free ARC of Gameboard of the Gods from Dutton Adult via Edelweiss in exchange of an honest review* Gameboard of the Gods is about a world where religion is all but forbidden, after religious extremists almost destroyed all humanity. Mae and Justin need to work together to make sure a religious war won’t happen again. The premise holds so much promise, with a very strong woman, both physically and mentally, different mythologies, a gruesome murder mystery as well as family drama. I went into this story with pretty high expectations – I love the author, usually adore her books, and I really looked forward to reading an adult mystery with lots of mythology. Sadly, Gameboard of the […]

Review: All He Ever Desired (The Kowalskis #5) – Shannon Stacey

Review: All He Ever Desired (The Kowalskis #5) – Shannon Stacey

All He Ever Desired is about a second chance in love. Is it even possible? Ryan Kowalski sure doesn’t think so, and when he comes back to Withford after a long absence, he does the best he can to avoid Lauren, the woman he has loved since high-school. They meet on his first day back, however, as their paths cross in his soon-to-be sister-in-law’s diner. Ryan has no idea what to say to her, and ends up feeling like a dork, so much so that he doesn’t even notice how flushed their encounter leaves Lauren. The big conflict in this installment of the Kowalski family saga is that Lauren’s son is the vandal who has been wreaking havoc around the […]
