What an ending. It was perfect for the series, heartbreaking and believable. If you've read my reviews you know I don't care for sad books, but It had to end with a sad note. This world, these people could not have a HEA it would have made the story fail. It ended with a bow worthy finality. I am a ...

I honestly have no idea how to talk about this book without spoilers, but here goes. This final book has the author Rick Yancey disgusted (we also get a foreward) due to him finding out the truth about Will Henry and the doctor.

WOO HOO! This book kicked butt.

It took me a minute to realize w...

Lots of explicit gore and monsters of both the human and inhuman variety made this a fun story to read. Add in the pathos of an orphan boy so starved for love and belonging that he clings to an abusive, neglectful father-figure. The writing style was a bit overwrought. This might be because the auth...

Rags & Bones is billed as a book of "New Twists on Timeless Tales", which, silly me, I thought would mean a book of fairytale retellings. (I love fairytale retellings, especially because I'm on a Once Upon A Time kick at the moment.) Although there are a couple of fairytales covered - "Sleeping Beau...
