Review: The Good Luck Sister – Jill Shalvis

Review: The Good Luck Sister – Jill Shalvis

The Good Luck Sister is yet another feel-good romance from Shalvis! I really enjoyed getting to know Tilly and Dylan better! Story: The Good Luck Sister is short, but sweet. It’s set several years after Lost and Found Sisters, and it shows Tilly all grown up. But still confused about life. And still sharing her wisdom at the beginning of the chapters. I loved that while Tilly was now an adult, there were traits of her character she still had from her teens. She is not one to forgive easily, and if she feels like she’s been faulted, she’s stoic. The Good Luck Sister showed that she is capable of letting the past go, though. But not without the other […]

Review: The Leveller – Julia Durango

Review: The Leveller – Julia Durango

The Leveller is a little bit like Matrix for YA, but different… People are playing online games by leaving their body in a recliner, while they are having fun (at least that’s the way it’s supposed to be!) in the virtual world. My The Leveller review: The Leveller started off strong with Nixy in the virtual world to collect a teen to get him back home and conscious to his mother. Getting to know her, the family dynamics as well as her two best friends Chang and Moose helped building the story from the start. The game MEEP seemed to be quite innocent and fun when Nixy first went in to catch someone, but when the CEO of the MEEP […]

Review: None of the Above – I. W. Gregorio

Review: None of the Above – I. W. Gregorio

None of the Above is a tender and strong story about Krissy, and all the things that happened to her once she (and everyone else) found out that she was intersex… My None of the Above review: I can’t even imagine all the things Kristen went through in the span of None of the Above, from being elected prom queen, going out with her boyfriend and finally having sex with him for the first time – only to have it hurt so bad they couldn’t actually finish. A few days later, she went to see an ob-gyn to figure out why she was still bleeding, and the news she got then were both devastating and shocking. Because her mom had […]

Review: All Night Long (Black Halo #1) – Madelynne Ellis

Review: All Night Long (Black Halo #1) – Madelynne Ellis

*I received a free ARC of All Night Long from Harper Collins via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* All Night Long is a scorching hot read, filled with lots of sex between a hard rock star and one of his fans. There are even some scenes where some of the band-mates kind of join in the fun a little bit. There isn’t all that much going on apart from the hot sex, but that’s quite OK, as I totally got that from the summary. Ginny only wants to let loose for one night, and who better than a guy who’s in a band? He’s totally used to groupies, and won’t be looking for anything more than sex – […]

Review: Ignite Me (Shatter Me #3) – Tahereh Mafi

Review: Ignite Me (Shatter Me #3) – Tahereh Mafi

Ignite Me inspired me, so my review will be a poem, an acrostic poem to share with you, this way, I won’t spoil anything at all but still show my undivided appreciation of the beautiful prose, the character growth and the incredible story. Ignite Me is strong, yet not sure Graceful, ruthless and full of fight Nurtured and loved Incredibly steamy, and lovely as hell Trustworthy, flippant and new Extremely ready for change Meaningful and full of heart Entangled for life and beyond Ignite Me is a beautiful ending to a beautiful trilogy, and even if my little poem can’t do it justice, I just felt like writing something in a different kind of prose as a kind of dedication […]

Review: Allegiant (Divergent #3) – Veronica Roth

Review: Allegiant (Divergent #3) – Veronica Roth

I saw some pretty negative star-ratings of Allegiant before I got the time to read it myself, and while I understand where those reviewers were coming from completely, I was actually amazed with this ending to a dystopian trilogy like Divergent, because I thought it really took guts to write it the way Ms. Roth did. I loved seeing how lost Tobias, Tris and their friends were once the factions were completely disbanded in their city. The way they didn’t know which way to turn, and how Tobias was torn between his mother and Tris, and he is the one with the most hesitations, from the beginning to the end. Tris and Tobias managed to leave the city behind, through […]

Review: Pale Demon (The Hollows #9) – Kim Harrison

Review: Pale Demon (The Hollows #9) – Kim Harrison

Pale Demon brings out the best in all the characters I now know and love! In order to save herself, Rachel needs to be at the annual witches conference to try and clear her name. But the witches will do anything they can to make sure she won’t make it in time. At the same time, Trent needs her help for something he won’t really tell her about – he only lets her know he has to be in Seattly before a certain time, and he wants her to ensure his safety while traveling. Because it’s impossible for Rachel to travel by plane, a road-trip becomes the only option – with Jenks, Ivy and Trent driving with her in her […]

Review: Black Magic Sanction (The Hollows #8) – Kim Harrison

Review: Black Magic Sanction (The Hollows #8) – Kim Harrison

Black Magic Sanction is yet another wild ride for Rachel and her friends, and it sure is for the readers as well! It’s impossible not to feel for Rachel in this installment, because so many things happen to her, and she just can’t catch a break. And there are some tough things she needs to come to term with. Both when it comes to herself and the society of witches known as the coven. My review of Black Magic Sanction is pretty much spoiler free, but there are spoilers from prior books, it’s impossible to review the 8th book in a series without talking about some of the things that have happened before, especially in a series that has some […]

Review: The Outlaw Demon Wails (The Hollows #6) – Kim Harrison

Review: The Outlaw Demon Wails (The Hollows #6) – Kim Harrison

The Outlaw Demon Wails completely blew my socks off! So many incredible twists and turns, so many new secrets unveiled, so much new information about Rachel and her family. I am almost reeling after finishing this read. My review of The Outlaw Demon Wails is spoiler-free, but since it is about the sixth book in the series, there will  be spoilers from the prior books, so if you haven’t read the five first books, please proceed reading knowing that! I love how much Rachel grew in The Outlaw Demon Wails, finally, she is starting to think a little before she acts – even if that is still a little difficult for her. Dealing with the aftermath of Kist’s death is […]

Review: A Fistful of Charms (The Hollows #4) – Kim Harrison

Review: A Fistful of Charms (The Hollows #4) – Kim Harrison

A Fistful of Charms is filled with action, just as the prior books in the Hollows series are. Most of the action happens away from Cincy, though, and it was nice to have a change of scenery. When Jenks shows up in panic, because Jax is missing after leaving with Nick, Rachel puts things in motion to save both of them – even if Nick never called her back or truly broke up with her. There are even more sub-plots in A Fistful of Charms than before! Rachel is challenged as David’s alpha, she uses more magic to transform people, but this time she does it without her earth-charms to make things happen faster – and thus, she has to […]
