The general premise of this book is good. The author’s writing is decent and it seems the editing job was nicely done. In fact, the only thing about the book that was bad is that it was just…bad? Nothing made sense to me. Now I could be just having a brain problem, but Eve as a character just really grated on my nerves and was completely unbelievable.

Borrowed Beauties #4
September 15, 2011 by ·
On the 12th, I decided enough was enough. I’d been stuck in the house for TOO LONG and I needed to get out – even if I had to drag the Geekling down a flight of stairs and around the massive apartment building and across the street to where my car sat, forlorn and alone, […]
Vanish by Sophie Jordan
September 13, 2011 by ·
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
August 11, 2011 by ·
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.
Forever by Maggie Stiefvater

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.
