I wanted to like this book a lot. I was so excited when I first read the summary and when I finally got it, I started reading right away. It started out good. I started tonget bored after 100 pages. I kept reading it though. I don't like dnf a book. I feel like I should finish it. This was one of th...

*happy sigh* Its so good to read a book that leaves you with a satisfying ending. These days you will have series where the authors will end on a serious cliffhanger or if they are stand alones sometimes the endings will either be too cheesy or too open. This is the kind of ending i want. Where thin...

This is an imagined retelling of Jane Eyre, of sorts. In some ways many of the characters are familiar, situations the same, but quite modern and mixed with some paranormal. We have Jane, our heroine who is stuck on being plain but finds reasons to made her life better by sheer will and tenacity. Sh...

I have to say that book lately have been giving me a whole new perspective. Especially this one. What if you had a hard life, I mean a really hard one. One full of abuse, fear, and loneness.

3.5/5 stars.When I started reading this book, I didn't really know what to expect. Honestly this is one case where the summary doesn't really tell you a whole lot about what's going on, so I basically went into this with no expectations. Dark Companion takes quite a bit of time to set up the plot. J...

Done. DNF. Bored, bored, bored. I read to page 116 and nothing happened. The story is not strong enough to continue. A girl living in a group home in an urban neighborhood gets a scholarship to a prestigious girls' academy. It takes her two chapters to get to the school, and then we follow her aroun...

***FINAL RATING: 2.90 STARS***CATCHALLI had a difficult time getting into this book. It starts off really slowly, and didn't pick up until about halfway through. It was really slowly paced and that was irritating beyond belief. Still, I did end up really enjoying it. The concept was definitely some...

Also appears on The Screaming Nitpicker.The first time I tried to get a copy of this novel after I saw someone give it a lot of praise, I was told no. I was sad and meant to ask for it again, but I got a copy through another avenue and all was well. Why do I keep forgetting that publishers usually t...
