I’m engaged to Thomas and yet I let another boy kiss me. And I kissed him back. The worst part? He’s not even a regular boy—he’s a rebel mystic! Oh no! Of all the people suffering in the world, all the injustice going on in the Depths of futuristic Manhattan, THIS. IS. THE. WORST. THING. EVER! Th...
I was really looking forward to reading Mystic City, especially when the description referenced Blade Runner, but unfortunately this book fell flat. I liked the idea behind it and everything, but couldn't help but compare the whole memory wipe scenario to another book I read called Renegade by J.A. ...
I really wanted to like this book. The ideas, the mystics, the agin and technology and futuristic New York...sounded awesome. But there was far too much exposition, description, apparel listings. The dialogue wasn't believable and felt forced. The descriptions of characters' appearances got boring r...
This review is also on Living for the BooksI'm getting so sick of books being compared to The Hunger Games. Especially when the only thing they have in common with The Hunger Games is that the book is dystopian. I have a lot of issues with this book but I think I'll start with the positives. First o...

3 stars - liked it. If you're wondering if Mystic City will be probably the best, most awesome dystopian-Manhattan-futuristic novel you'll ever read, then probably. But set your bars low. Or don't even set them at all because 97% of the time you are bound to get disappointed. You have your Romeo and...
I had a hard time categorizing this one. In many ways, it's a literal urban fantasy -- a story that takes place in future Manhattan, which is powered by mystical energy. At the same time, it doesn't have any fantasy elements aside from the presence of said mystical energy, which seems to be more of ...
OH MY GOD. 4.5 stars. Freakin' awesome. Marked it down half a star because of cheesy love letters, and Romeo and Juliet, a couple that I despise. On the whole, I was pleasantly surprised by Mystic City. I had heard that it was pretty average before going into it, and I put it off for two months befo...
