I usually avoid YA books like the plague. I have enough teenage drama in my real life that I don't need to be reading about it also. This sounded more like a good thriller then a romance, plus that cover is ALL sorts of awesome. So I decided to give it a go.It turned out to be a really well written ...

You know a thriller's not really that gripping or mysterious when you feel pretty comfortable in your guess of the killer's identity about a third of the way into the story. You also know it's not that great a read when you don't feel the suspense and desire to find out what'll happen next.The above...

It's high time I wrote a review for this. Made for You was a very fascinating novel. It examines what motivates a stalker/killer, and I thought it was interesting. Creepy, unsettling and scary, but interesting. I hadn't read anything by this author before, but now I will definitely check out more ...

I received a copy from Netgalley. The concept of this one quit intrigued me, though initially when I started it, I didn't like it much. I have a weakness for anything, described as southern gothic, particularly Ya with a Southern setting. But the characters seemed very shallow. The view point of t...

Initial reaction: Parts of this book that I thought were fine, while others didn't sit well with me at all. A few things to clarify though: while this is definitely a Southern mystery and some of it is accurate to the locales, this is not, I repeat, NOT a Gothic story. Nowhere near close, so I'm not...

This book is a trip. I've never read a bad book by Melissa Marr. Which is hard since I've heard she's not so..........nice. But she proves herself, yet again with a stalker/serial killer loose on a southern town in Made For You. This book is absolutely riveting! Town gossip, proper social orderer, ...

It's only after a classmate is murdered that Eva realizes that a killer is loose. With the help of he...

I found this while shelf surfing my library's audiobooks, I had never heard of it but I know and like the author, so why not. I like reading books blind, I have no expectations and it's all a surprise. Well, what a good find ! The narration on this was fabulous, read by three different people. This...
