REVIEWS: Lux Series by Jennifer Armentrout

What a great premise! I am a SF lover – JUNKIE, in fact, and I’m pretty much on board with trying out any book that has aliens in it. I loved Obsidian. Like a lot. I loved all the things you see being lauded about this book – Katy, the main character. How she has a book blog, her tragic past regarding her father, and her spunky, yet originally subdued, attitude. Katy is a well-developed and likable character. Next, I loved Daemon! Who doesn’t, right? He had all the bad boy attributes – cocky nature, full of himself, thinks he’s God’s gift to women, stuck-up, rude, and tough. Oh, and did I mention, gorgeous? Yes, he’s gorgeous. Daemon has a sister—-what’s her face? Oh, yeah Dee. That should tell you how much I cared about Dee. I didn’t, not even in the third book where I got the idea she… Read more »

Review of Reason to Breathe by Rebecca Donovan

I enjoyed this book in many places. I felt that Emma was well developed and her relationship with Evan was believable and true to life. I read it in two days, it kept my attention, and I was not wanting to put it down, so it’s a good story. However, I also have a LOT of issues with this book. Number one – the middle was long and not very believable. There were parts where I did want to put it down just because there is no freaking way an abusive parent-figure would let Emma get away with half the crap she was doing. Either the aunt is crazy or she isn’t. The uncle is disinterested in reining her in, so none of the silly stuff in the middle made much sense to me. Number two – what kind of friend lets her best friend go through this? I had… Read more »

Review for Beyond the Eyes – By Rebekkah Ford

Review for Beyond the Eyes – By Rebekkah Ford “I never thought I would die at the age of seventeen, so when I received the death message, I was a little freaked out.” So begins the young adult novel, Beyond the Eyes, by Rebekkah Ford. I admit my interest was peaked by this first sentence. It’s well crafted and really makes me want to read on. Paige is a seventeen year old senior in high school whose world is turned upside down with the arrival of Nathan. Wait, let’s back up! I know everyone likes to get to the romance, but hey, this book has plot too! Paige is not your normal everyday girl. For one, she’s alone mores of the time even though she’s not even eighteen yet. Her mom works as a traveling nurse and her father was killed when she was little. She has a lot of… Read more »
