Seraphina by Rachel Hartman

I became the very air; I was full of stars. I was the soaring spaces between the spires of the cathedral, the solemn breath of chimneys, a whispered prayer upon the winter wind. I was silence,and I was music, one clear transcendent chord rising toward Heaven. I believed, then, that I would have risen bodily

Kissing Shakespeare by Pamela Mingle

I had high hopes for this novel, it was Young Adult, it had time travel and Shakespeare all things that make up a “me” kind of book.  Unfortunately my high hopes were dashed and fairly early on I might add – this book was unfortunately a very light read, without much substance and the actual

For Darkness Shows the Stars by Diana Peterfreund

Envy hurt exponentially more than heartbreak because your soul was torn in two, half soaring with happiness for another person, half mired in a well of self pity and pain. I chose to read this novel back in January for the Dystopian Challenge and all I remembered upon opening the Kindle document was that it

Dark Frost by Jennifer Estep

Come on, Gypsy girl. I’m bleeding to death here, in case you haven’t noticed. At least make it worth my while and kiss me before I die. Kiss of Frost (Book 2) What can I say, I just really enjoy this series! This book is dark, the opening scene is gruesome, traumatic and there is

Blog Tour: Brunswick by Ann Haines

Author Ann Haines has stopped by with an excerpt from Brunswick. “Do you change your form?” Jonathan couldn’t help it he had to ask. “What do you mean?” Sebastian said. “Well do you always look like that or are you able to take a human form?” Sebastian let out a huge laugh that was almost

Cinder by Marissa Meyer

“Was it all in my head? A Lunar trick?” Her stomach twisted. “No.” She shook her head, fervently. How to explain that she hadn’t had the gift before? That she couldn’t have used it against him? “I would never lie—” The words faded. She had lied. Everything he knew about her had been a lie.

A Million Suns by Beth Revis

And here we are, in the middle, surrounded by a sea of stars. A million suns. Any of them could hold a planet. Any of them could hold a home. But all of them are out of reach. I was really surprised to discover that Across the Universe had a sequel at first because that

Surrender by Lee Nichols

I absolutely loved the first book in this series and subsequently devoured both Deception and the sequel Betrayel in a weekend. Unfortunately it was a good 12+ months until I got onto this final installment and I found it much harder to get into.  I’m not to sure if it was simply because I couldn’t

Advent by James Treadwell

What started out as a book full of promise and beautiful prose, swiftly became a confusing muddle of events that left me feeling pretty dissapointed by the end of the book.  I wanted to like it, I truly did and infact at the beginning I felt it held the same sort of promise that The

Girl of Fire & Thorns by Rae Carson

“Honor from death,” I snap, “is a myth. Invented by the war torn to make sense of the horrific. If we die, it will be so that others may live. Truly honorable death, the only honorable death, is one that enables life.” This book has been on my to-read list for ages.  To be honest
