***I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.*** With that being said I must start off with a declaration...WOW! Not only was this ruthless but it was brutal and painful to experience. It has been likened to a literary baby procured from the loins of The Hunger ga...
Excellent production quality, but a slightly awkward premise that maybe could have benefited from stronger world building. There's some challenging and well developed ideas the author's working through, and I appreciated how she consistently subverted expectations. There were multiple points where I...
Megan Crewe is a genius at weaving authentic emotional journeys into tightly paced thriller plots. Her characters are instantly recognizable but not tired or rehashed; love her exposure of character inner lives, struggles and uniquenesses including empathetic portrayals of diverse personality types....
Entertaining time travel SF read with an appealingly slow-burn romance and challenging characters. The more action-oriented outer story, a quest for parts of a weapon that will stop aliens from slowly destroying Earth via time-related experiments, ties in nicely to the MC emotional and literal journ...
I found this story surprising.Cass has pretty much given up on the living, preferring to spend her days getting all the latest gossip from her circle of ghosts rather than trying to make friends in high school. Not that the living would give her much of a chance if she tried. So when one member of t...
3 starsInteresting take on the devastating aftermath of a killer virus. I never engaged with the narrator, though, but the rapid fire narration did keep me turning the pages. I will probably read the second book if the library has it available.
Love, love, love this book!Sora is a Kami, one of the spiritual beings (able to turn solid or invisible and able to manipulate ki energy) living on Mt. Fuji, or so she thought. On her 17th birthday, there's an attack on the mountain, which sends Sora and her bodyguard, Takeo, fleeing to find a way t...
Mortal Song hooked me with the interesting premise, following an Unchosen One in Japan. There were a lot of ups and downs, never sinking below “Okay” or rising above “Better”, leaving it an average 3 stars. It was an easy and quick read, but I was never fully immersed. I was aware that I was reading...
So, let's start with the good about this book. First off, it's set in Japan and has a rich tie to Japanese lore, which I loved. I've always found Shinto to be fascinating, with its deep reverence of the Kami, who keep our world whole and healthy. It's hard not to fall in love with the concept of nat...
This was really frustrating to listen to. I enjoyed the first one and found it fairly fast paced and interesting enough. But The Lives We Lost definitely has the second book slumber feel mainly because not a lot happens. They have the antidote but now they need to leave the island and figure out ...
