Review: Clutch – J.A. Huss

Review: Clutch – J.A. Huss

Junco is brilliant! And Clutch is so well done! Aliens, clones, war, fights, doubts, lies, amazing characters, it’s all there! My Clutch review: Clutch is really all I could wish for in a sci-fi novel. The world is slowly shown to me, Junco is a great character, even if both she and I were quite confused at the beginning of the story. Tiers intrigued me form the beginning, and I really enjoyed the fact that he truly let Junco have choices – it’s not like that really happened very often where she was concerned. Between being raised both as a killer and an acrobat on a horse, it took a while for me to reconcile both parts of her personality. […]

Review: Soulprint – Megan Miranda

Review: Soulprint – Megan Miranda

Soulprint is a captivating tale, in which rebirth has been proven, and people can be judged by the deeds done in their past lives. Chilling, well done and filled with secrets, I loved it! My Soulprint review: Alina was an intriguing character to follow, especially at the very start when she was held captive by the government – on an island and with guards that were changed every few weeks to make sure nobody got close enough to her to want to make her escape. The whole premise of souls being reborn really appealed to me, and the mystery surrounding that for almost everyone but Alina was well done, too. Alina has been monitored since she was born, though, because […]

Blogtour Review: The Body Electric – Beth Revis

Blogtour Review: The Body Electric – Beth Revis

Welcome to my stop on The Body Electric tour hosted by Xpresso Booktours. I have my review and some favorite quotes to share, and there’s also a tour-wide giveaway from today until January 26th. My The Body Electric review: Ella is a young girl who has lost so much already, her dad died in an explosion, and her mom is terminally ill. Every night, Ella has very strange dreams, in which she finds herself with her father, and more often than not, he tells her something important, up until the point when Ella realizes that her dream is in fact not real. The Body Electric starts out really strong, I am drawn into Ella’s dreams and reality, and I want […]

Review: Golden Son – Pierce Brown

Review: Golden Son – Pierce Brown

I don’t even know where to start! Golden Son is fast-paced awesomeness, danger, brutality, chess-play, intrigues and deadly battles. My Golden Son review: Golden Son starts two years after the end of Red Rising, and it’s obvious from the start that much has happened in Darrow’s life in the meantime. The readers are brought into the midst of the action, on a space-ship where there is either a big victory to be won, or a loss so bad it might be impossible to recover from. The pace is more or less at break-neck speed through-out the story, and that really goes well with the plot and the characters and all that’s at stake in Golden Son. The intrigue in Golden […]

Review: Heroic Abduction – Eve Langlais

Review: Heroic Abduction – Eve Langlais

Purple, strong, hot alien meets headstrong human female who is always ready for a new adventure in Heroic Abduction. My Heroic Abduction review: Dyre is very different from the other purple aliens I’ve come to know through the Alien Abduction series! He’s a mercenary who wants to be a hero, and that brings about many humorous situations in Heroic Abduction. With his inner musings commenting everything from how Betty looks to what he’d rather have her eat instead of her pizza, I was howling with laughter more than once! Traveling through the galaxies searching for one of Betty’s human friends, Dyre, Betty and Zista come into lots of difficult situations where Dyre can prove just how heroic he is. Expect […]

Review: This Shattered World – Amie Kaufmann and Meagan Spooner

Review: This Shattered World – Amie Kaufmann and Meagan Spooner

This Shattered World continues the Starbound adventure in a beautiful and fulfilling way! The characters, the worldbuilding and the story are all amazingly well done. My This Shattered World review: In This Shattered World, the readers are taken to another terraformed planet, one that doesn’t progress the way it’s supposed to, and where the army is needed to keep order and a fragile peace. There are rebels hiding in the swamps, and they are apt at coming and going without being noticed. The story starts out very strong, with the army captain Lee in the local bar with some of her soldiers. And she is kidnapped from right under their noses once she realizes that a guy who is checking […]

Review: This Night so Dark – Amie Kaufmann and Meagan Spooner

Review: This Night so Dark – Amie Kaufmann and Meagan Spooner

This Night so Dark is the perfect novella to help fans stay patient while waiting for This Shattered World. There is more Tarver, a little Lilac, and a lot of intrigue and mystery. My This Night so Dark review: Showing both a little of what happened with Tarver and Lilac after the ending of These Broken Stars, and also some of the events that lead up to their meeting was good. Seeing the way Tarver had moved up in the military, and the way he treated the soldiers under him, as well as his quick wit and fast assessment of difficult and potentially dangerous situations made me love him even more. And the way his nightmares woke Lilac, and the […]

Blogtour and Review: Gypsy – Trisha Leigh

Blogtour and Review: Gypsy – Trisha Leigh

*I received a free ARC of Gypsy from Xpresso Booktours in exchange of an honest review* Welcome to my stop on the Gypsy Blogtour! I have my review and favorite quotes to share with you, as well as a giveaway 🙂 My Gypsy review: Gypsy is a creepy science-fiction novel, in which teens with strange genetic mutations are first seen in an abandoned plantation in Charleston, until police shows up, and some of them are returned to their families – or what is left of their families, anyway. Mysterious, troubling and very eerie, Gypsy managed to keep me on my toes all through the story, and I never knew what to expect. After the cavies are released, their lives change […]

Review: Dissonance – Erica O’Rourke

Review: Dissonance – Erica O’Rourke

*I received a free ARC of Dissonance from Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers via Edelwiess in exchange of an honest review* Dissonance opens up multiverses of possibilities so vast it made my head spin in a good way! My Dissonance review: The concept of Dissonance – that each and every time a person makes a choice in the key world, they create at least one echo world where the echo of themselves made the other choice – is one that I love. If you have ever thought ‘what if…’ you will get the excitement I felt when I started reading. I stayed glued to my kindle reading throughout the whole day – and awake part of the night […]

Review: Lockstep – Karl Schroeder

Review: Lockstep – Karl Schroeder

*I received a free ARC of Lockstep from Tor Books via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Lockstep started out fairly slow, but once I got into the story, I was totally hooked! My Lockstep review: In a multi-planetary society, where humans have almost destroyed Earth and all its resources, Lockstep shows a way to maybe save everybody. It starts when Toby’s family and some friends are able to finally move from Earth and go to Sedna, a small planet that needs a lot of work in order to be viable. One day, Toby leaves on a small spaceship to put his family flag on a small moon called Rockette – only he disappears and only wakes up after […]
