Anna Bobs Her Hair - Silent Reader, Talking Books
Parallel universes. Magic vs. Science. Tyranny of Witches vs. Toxic Fallout. Then, there's some young love and angst.

This unusual book had me hooked as soon as it passed the teenage drama heartbreak in world one. It was the semi typical, horrid horny guy lies to innocent helpless trusting girl and she gets her tender heart broke story which we've all heard a million times now. I admit I considered dropping it at t...

One thing I am trying to do this year is read more new releases. At one point I found a list of new releases and put a few on hold that seemed interesting. I should have researched this one a bit more. Trial by Fire is about Lillian (Lily), a senior in high school who is allergic to life. She has...

Trial by Fire caught me slightly off-guard as I wasn't expecting to enjoy it as much as I did. I wavered on how to rate this one because I really love the concept of the story even though the first four or so chapters are utter crap. The story revolves around a high school student in Salem who suff...

So cosa state pensando: te la sei cercata! e non avete tutti i torti in effetti.

I received a copy from Netgalley.This is one of those weird books where I didn't like any of the characters much but absolutely loved the plot and the world building. The main character, Lily, a weak and sickly girl was quite bland and annoying even when pulled into a parallel universe, and the guy ...

Trial by Fire was exactly as I had hoped it would be but more. That sounds a little contradictory, doesn't it? I suppose the best way to explain it is that I knew I would love this book but I had no idea how much. Angelini never fails to surprise me.I remember when I first read Starcrossed and now, ...

3.5 starsGreat world building and interesting ideas throughout. I loved the first 90% and suffered through the last 10%, weirdly. The ending just seemed a little forced, less a culmination of the plot and more a yeah, so this happens... And it's super duper dramatic and tense....and then it's suppos...
