Skimmed a bunch of this at the end. Very weird book. Hope they're aren't anymore!

This may be the most cracktastic thing I've read that isn't manga. It resembles a murder ballad more than a YA paranormal romance. Brilliant, strange, horrific world-building and monsters, and humans as bad as monsters.I feel like it got a little more typical towards the end? Or at least plot took...

There were some things I really liked about this book, and Hanna was certainly a fascinating narrator. But there were also things that bothered me–the romance really didn’t work for me, for instance. And I’m afraid that in the end the things that bothered me outweighed the things that didn’t. As wit...

Is Hanna crazy? Hell yes. Is the whole town crazy? YES! This book, I'm not sure if it was just me, but it made me laugh. A lot. Everything inside it was so "OMG!" It was so amusing that I literally ran into a sign while reading this book. And people laughed at me!Hanna moves back with her mom which ...

I'm still not sure how I feel about this. On the plus side: a diverse cast of characters, a main character with bipolar disorder where that isn't the main plot of the story, a small town in East Texas that is crawling with weird stuff, not unlike the hellmouth of Sunnyvale. On the minus side: so...

This teen girl, Hanna is dealing with a dead father, an unloving aunt that she runs away from, and a mother she has never meant that is cold as ice. She has serious mental illnesses and rarely takes her pills. She ends up be...

I have read a lot of books in the YA-Fantasy genre and I have met, in my readings, countless protagonists. Some of them memorable and others, not so much. I can sincerely say that until this point, until Bleeding Violet, I hadn’t met anyone as unconventional and as interesting as Hanna. She transcen...

You know, I'm gonna pass on Bleeding Violet by Dia Reeves. There's something about it I can't wrap my head around. I made it to my customary 75 pages and there wasn't alot for me to hang my heart on... so I'm stopping.I knew I was in trouble when I started to look online for spoilers after only read...

This is an enticing, literally crazy read. Hanna is not your run-of-the-mill YA heroine, (think smearing-her-blood-all-over-the-walls-crazy) and that's something I loved about her. The romance wasn't like other YA lit either, which was refreshing, even while it was frustrating. The writing was very ...
