See more of my reviews sooner on The YA Kitten! My copy was an ARC I received in a swap with a friend.Sure, the title and jacket copy imply that this book is a major geekout, but I wasn't expecting it to be this much of a geekout. I liked it! I may not know much about comic books other than what lit...

Blaze was a fairly okay book.There were some really great elements to it and some that entirely let the whole book down.There were superheroes , comic strips , pink kool-aid hair and pent up girl rant.This is Blaze's story. An eighteen year old , almost outsider lover of the comic book world. Blaze ...

I received a copy free through Goodreads First Reads.This book is a tough call for me. I work with teens and it is very true to problems facing them today but it is certainly not an example I would want them to follow. At first blush Blaze seems to be a bit more mature than teens around her, she def...

This was a great debut novel. The main character, Blaze, named after Ghost Rider's Johnny Blaze, is very likeable. She makes the mistake of falling for Mr. Popular, aka Mark the Shark. Only to have him betray her after losing her virginity to him, and then he posts a sext she accidentally sent him o...

Original review here: http://www.yourentertainmentcorner.com/?p=33932.While I was expecting a story with teenage super heroes battling to save humanity from destruction (duh, I didn’t read the blurb), I got what could best be described as today’s formulaic YA storytelling that’s all the rage. Girl h...

PJV Quickie: I was super-excited about reading Blaze - I thought I was getting a geek-girl's revenge story. What I got instead was a book full of bad teen decisions and self-centered characters. By the end, the only thing blaze-ing was my temper. Review 17-year-old Blaze inherited her love of comi...

Review posted at Bewitched BookwormsBlaze – Geeky, Nerdy and so cute!When I meet Blaze I knew I was going to like her! She was quirky, funny, snarky totally geeky and a true Nerd!

Flounced.This review also appears on Fictionators.I've been sitting on this review for what feels like a thousand years, but in reality has only been since January lol. We were asked to participate in a tour for Blaze, and I was really excited to read this book. I really wanted to like it. I love...

When I first heard about Blaze a few months ago I just knew I had to read this book. I'm a major geek (hence the blog name) and I love comic books so this is just my kind of book. Blaze turned out to be even more than I expected though and I really enjoyed this story.From the synopsis Blaze sounded ...

When I first wanted to read Blaze, it had been when I was trying to find novels in the YA universe that involve a) Superheroes or b) Supervillains. Blaze had been the first thing I found and after reading the synopsis, I instantly knew that I wanted to read the story. Sure it sounded like the main c...
