Blogtour Review: Division Zero (Division Zero #1) – Matthew S. Cox

*I received a free ARC of Division Zero from Xpresso Booktours in exchange of an honest review* Welcome to my stop on the Blogtour for Divison Zero! I am sharing my review, some of my favorite quotes, and there’s also a giveaway! Don’t be too shy to enter 🙂 My Division Zero review: Division Zero is totally my kind  of Sci-Fi! There is a very strong female protagonist, she has been through hell but survived anyway. Her mom was her worst opponent up until now, as she tried to beat the devil out of Kirsten because of her gift. The fact that her gift is being able to see and talk to ghosts in no way excused the mother’s treatment […]

Review: Tabula Rasa – Kristen Lippert-Martin

Review: Tabula Rasa – Kristen Lippert-Martin

*I received a free ARC of Tabula Rasa from Egmont USA via Edelweiss in exchange of an honest review* Tabula Rasa is an excellent science fiction YA story, I loved the scientific aspect of it, and Sarah was an amazing main character. At the beginning of Tabula Rasa, the readers find Sarah in a facility where scientists and doctors are working on erasing part of her memory. They won’t let her see herself in a mirror, as her looks might trigger memories they have already gotten rid of. She thinks she is there because she is a criminal who has done something horrible, and erasing some of her memories are supposed to make her a stand-up citizen once more. Only […]

#COYER Review: The Wicked We Have Done (Chaos Theory #1) – Sarah Harian

#COYER Review: The Wicked We Have Done (Chaos Theory #1) – Sarah Harian

*I received a free ARC of The Wicked We Have Done from Penguin via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* The Wicked We Have Done is a chilling and mesmerizing story, taking humanity to the very limit of morality and ethics, filled with uneasy friendships and wrapped up in a pretty ugly and messy parcel. The parcel itself is the story, the relationships, the way the characters are forced together, and the sheer terror of their situation. Five young women and five young men, who would possible have been sentenced to death are rather sent to a the Compass Room, where their moral compass is supposed to be assessed by way of illusions and how the triggers make them […]

#COYER Review: Reprisal (The Time Weaver Chronicles #3) – Thomas A. Knight

#COYER Review: Reprisal (The Time Weaver Chronicles #3) – Thomas A. Knight

*I received a free ARC of Reprisal from the author in exchange of an honest review* Reprisal is an epic ending to The Time Weaver Chronicles, battles, dragons, parallel worlds, time travel, love, and strong world building with even stronger characters. Krycin, Seth, Malia, the bard and the other characters are all still there, and now, the fight has to be fought both on Earth and in Galador. The new king of Findoor might just be the most powerful magician yet, and everybody is looking to Seth for salvation. There are a lot of different story lines that are wrapped up in Reprisal, and it is definitely a necessity to read The Time Weaver and Legacy before starting Reprisal. As […]

Review: All Our Yesterdays – Cristin Terrill

Review: All Our Yesterdays – Cristin Terrill

*I received a free ARC of All Our Yesterdays from Disney Book Group via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* All Our Yesterdays is a quite exciting science fiction / time travel thriller about Em and Finn, and the lengths they will go to in order to survive, and to change the past – or is that the future? In some ways, the story is quite confusing, as it goes away from the pat of many other time travel stories and the flash-backs aren’t always easy to get once there is a shift in the storyline. At the beginning, All Our Yesterday completely grabbed me, and I was delighted to read a time travel story that was so intricate. […]

Review: Red Rising (Red Rising Trilogy #1) – Pierce Brown

Review: Red Rising (Red Rising Trilogy #1) – Pierce Brown

Red Rising is a well-woven story set on Mars, in a dystopian society, where the readers follow Darrow from the mines where he extracts precious helium 3 to help the population from earth to come and colonize the red planet. The Reds working and living deep inside of Mars have little food, and everything is done to make sure the clans do not band together with each other – only staying with their own. Many things are forbidden, but not many people dare to rise and try to make things better. When Eo brings her husband to a secret place she’s found, a place that is fully terraformed already, Darrow has no idea what she means when she tells him […]

Review: These Broken Stars (Starbound #1) – Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner

Review: These Broken Stars (Starbound #1) – Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner

*I received a free ARC of These Broken Stars from Disney Hyperion via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* These Broken Stars is a beautifully written young adult novel set in a more or less distant future, when space travel is quite common, and several planets are colonized, but there is still war and those who hold power want to hold on to that. Many things seem very different from the way we live now, but at the core, human beings are still the same, with their hopes and dreams. They still love and hate, fear and show courage. The differences are in the science and the way people can travel. Tarver is on the Icarus only because he […]

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: Born of Silence (The League #5) – Sherrilyn Kenyon

Review: Born of Silence (The League #5) – Sherrilyn Kenyon

The League series is always filled with surprises, amazing fights and a real love story. Born of Silence follows the other books in the series, and the characters from all the other books are present in this volume, to my great delight. There were a lot of new revelations in this book, and I felt so bad for Darling, it almost hurt to read about his childhood. Then, again after he was taken by the insurgents and nobody realized who he was, I have to admit my heart was breaking into a million pieces. I don’t know how he could get through that at all. Of course, Darling wasn’t completely sane after that for quite some time, but when he […]
