I wasn't able to get through this book. It was a good idea but it just didn't grab my attention.I hardly ever stop a book mid-way through but I did here. And then I forgot about it. At this point, a few weeks later, I can't really remember anything about it. None of the characters or the plot re...

I picked this book up on a whim a while back, when it was on offer at a favorite discount store here. I'd never heard of it before, but thought that it looked interesting, and for $2.99 I'm willing to chance it. So now I've read it, and... well... There were some things that I liked, and some things...

This was a great twist on retold fairy tales and certainly deserves four stars for it's plot. But I felt the world building was a little lackluster. Something about it just didn't grab me and make me wish I could be there seeing the glimmering towers of Eden or smell the pepperminty smell of Grandma...

3.5 StarsI love retellings and this was an original addition to Little Red Riding Hood. I enjoyed it, but wasn't amazed.

There are some books that you really didn't think were your type. Your genre. The kind of stuff you usually don't read and don't expect to read but then when you do end up reading a book outside your usual genre, it impresses the socks off you and reminds you that there are many more adventures to b...

Dust City by Robert Paul Weston was about what I expected, and yet nothing what I anticipated. It's a weird conglomeration of Pulp Mystery, Fairy Tale, and Werewolf tale. It reminds me a touch of Sin City... if Sin City were being told about adolescent boys... in a Grimm's Fairy Tale. It's weird, an...

This one is really a 3.5-maybe if enough people complain Goodreads will do a half point system!
