Escaping into My Books rated it 9 years ago
I started these 2 books in October, and found myself prodding along slowly with both. First Shatter Me, then when that was dragging, I then started Hidden Huntress which I got about 75% through, but it was still slow going and draggy. Finally I just decided to give up and DNF both. Don't know what...

*GASP* I hated it. The hyperbole, the "romance", every single one of the characters. Hated it. It's a mildly interesting concept, but all the negatives kept it from being anything other than a mediocre YA dystopian. In fact, I'm taking it of my dystopia and sci-fi shelves because it hardly qualifies...

I have to admit I read this book because I saw one of its quotes. The summary made me curious of how this book would play out and its theme. The style of writing got to me fairly quickly. Right away the repetitive nature in which Juliette talks gets old really fast. I still don't quite understand wh...

The prose in this was so purple it would make a plum blush. I was looking forward to this quite a bit. It is dystopian and seemed to have a touch of paranormal and just the tagline seemed to suggest that we had a strong, take-charge heroine here. I even found the strikethrough on the cover to be ...

I know I am too late to join the series now that it is already three books old coupled with a whole lot of novella and even a TV series in talks for the series. BUT never late than Never ..right !! I don’t know whether it was intentional on the author’s part or just me that kept drifting towards ...

This time, there will be no "Like" or "Dislike" part. Simply because I couldn't think of a single thing that I like about this book.Writing style- At first, Mafi's i'm-trying-to-be-poetic notable writing style seems promising. But when you overuse something, obviously, it starts to lose its effect.....

Honestly though most people don't like this book, I loved it. I could try to pull elements from the story that are usually those of a "good book", but to keep it simple, I read it, I liked it, and I wanted to read the next book.

All my reviews are going to be short because I'm just not like all the other blogs that give all sorts of details and such. Just me, giving the short and sweet and if I REALLY like it, like Shatter Me, then there may be a bit more to the review. What was it that I enjoyed soooooo much about th...

My touch is lethal My touch is power Juliette hasn’t touched anyone in exactly 264 days. The last time she did, it was an accident, but The Reestablishment locked her up for murder. No one knows why Juliette’s touch is fatal. As long as she doesn’t hurt anyone else, no one really cares. The worl...
