A Bit Bookish rated it 9 years ago
I just wanted to make a quick blurb about how important I think this book is. The story is about an anorexic teenager named Lisabeth who, on the brink of suicide, is interrupted by Death and summoned to be Famine, of Four Horsemen fame. Kessler has written an empathetic and authentic portrait of the...

This picks up where Black and White left off. While many questions are answered (extrahumans and their origins, etc), there was a few things that were left unanswered. Mainly, the whereabouts of a certain evil asshat. Overall, I enjoyed this. Not quite as much as the first one though.I liked that Je...

This book was unlike anything I ave ever read before, it was fantastic.

6/1 - This book has two novellas in it that are part of series, one of which I'm in the middle of - Richelle Mead's Georgina Kincaid series - so I only read the novella which was of interest to me at this point in time. That's the only novella I'm reviewing right now, I'll come back later and review...

That was a fucking fantastic read. The book flashes back and forth between present and past. I thought Jet (Joannie) and Iridium (Callie) were well-written and developed. Both had issues that they had to deal with and had so many layers. Jet- A bit innocent to the point of gullible which makes he...

I was surprised some of the stories ended up here since I felt they didn't have romance in them. Oh well. Like all anthologies, some catch you at the first sentence, others leave you bored. The ones I read and liked (at least a little): Princes of Dominion- Huh. Historical, not sure where it i...

tl;dr I think a teenager who is not too discerning about their stories will like this book, especially as they may be able to relate to the main character and the content of the book. The content is definitely an important topic to cover. The writing was mediocre, but the story itself was decent. Th...

This was a really good book. It takes an interesting look at eating disorders. Lisa is really sick and people are staring to notice. After a bitter confrontation, she decides to end her own life, but Death has other plans. He gives her a set of scales and a black steed making her Famine. As Famine s...

Meh I was hoping for better. It wasn't terrible but I had a hard time connecting to any of the characters. :/

Jezebel was a succubus, successful and she did enjoy her job. Now she's a mortal, curtesy of a spell from a witch, and she's working at being a stripper. However it isn't easy to leave her old life behind (and there are flashbacks to her old life provided). She's also finding herself more than a ...
