What if you were bound for a new world, about to pledge your life to someone you'd been promised to since birth, and one unexpected violent attack made survival—not love—the issue?Out in the murky nebula lurks an unseen enemy: the New Horizon. On its way to populate a distant planet in the wake of E...
There's more to life than reading, but it's a good place to start
Oh my god, I want bacon so bad. The maple kind, both sweet and savoury. Cooked so it's just crispy, the whole house smelling of wholesome bacony goodness. The only problem is I'm vegetarian. I have been for about three years but recently I have never craved meat so bad. I can honestly say, hand on...

Note: received this one a while ago from a goodreads giveaway. Thanks!This wasn't bad at all -- but ultimately, probably not my cup of tea. I enjoyed the characters and the overall story, but I admit, reading this felt more than a little strange, though it's through no fault of the book itself. Admi...

*** 2.5 stars *** The teens-alone-in-outer-space thriller was suspense-laden enough to make me go on reading until the very last cliffhanging page, but as the religious conflict, the fertility aka mating issues, the Lord-of-the-Flies-or-Gone-like, but highly improbable, kiddie rule on board of the d...

This wasn’t an easy read for me. Not only did real life constraints make it difficult for me to find the time to read but the writing itself didn’t exactly suck me in. Ryan’s writing is efficient and it gets the point across but she isn’t a wordsmith like Laini Taylor is. She’s a plotter, and that’s...

I wasn't a fan of this book. I contemplated a few times putting it down, but I didn't want to give up on a book that I was challenging myself to read. Honestly there was too much time with nothing happening, I didn't like any of the characters nor did I understand some of their actions, and I hated ...

This book is not what I first expected, I do have to get something out of the way before going into too much detail and it is something I wish I knew before I read this book so I could have been more prepared. This book brings a large religious portion into it near the end which comes out of nowhere...

Full review also posted here on TotalTeenFictionI was really excited to start this book because it's a post-apocalyptic novel which I usually adore. Glow tells the story of Waverly and Kieran, residents of the Empyrean, a spaceship destined to establish a New Earth. When their fellow ship the New Ho...

Glow should go on a top list of books with misleading cover/title. Right up there with The Right To Arm Bears. This is not a pleasant read. It's not that the writing is bad - quite the contrary, while not stellar, it's a smooth-sailing page-turner. But the subject matter is heavy. This is the ...
