Vanish picks up where Firelight left us and takes us on a journey into the heart of Draki society. Ms. Jordan shows us more of the mythology behind the dragons in this sequel, which is nice, but it seems that this book just doesn’t quite have the pep and zing that the first in the series had. I think this book suffers a bit from being the middle child. That said, Vanish is definitely not a bad book and is most certainly worth the read.

I can’t believe I’ve had this blog for over a year… I haven’t been able to do everything I wanted with it – since being on bed rest, delivering a premature baby, and otherwise dealing with a SUPER hectic life since the beginning of the year has just made it impossible to focus. However, I’m […]
Thirst No. 4: The Shadow of Death by Christopher Pike

In 1996, with The Last Vampire: Creatures of Forever, Christopher Pike concluded Sita’s story. In 2010, he showed us all that Sita’s story was not, in fact, over. As if that wasn’t enough, he also promised another book, another extension of the series, a glimpse of something more. In 2011, he delivered on that promise…and Sita’s story, it seems, is concluded once again.

It’s taken me a while to really form my thoughts on this book, and still I can’t really pinpoint exactly what it is that I want to express. I’ve waited for it since readingLinger last year…and my love of Ms. Stiefvater’s writing combined with the anticipation for the end of the series was enough to make me truly excited.

This review may lean slightly toward the side of spoiler-ish, so stop reading now if you want. Then again, if you’ve even half a clue what went on in Twilight, you’ll have no surprises in Promise.

At the beginning of this debut novel, we are introduced to Ellie and what appears to be the typical life of a typical teenager. It’s this first bit of writing that kept my interest – not so much because the information was riveting (remember, typical and typical) but because the writing was such that the typical -sounded- good. (Or read well…whatever you like.)
Bumped by Megan McCafferty

Mmm, satire. How I heart thee… and I kind of heart this book, because it’s filled to the brim with the beauty that is satirical writing. Now, while I don’t believe this book was the best bit of literature ever written, I do believe it conveys an important message – extremes on issues such as teen pregnancy are a little asinine.
