After reading the first book, Radiance, and loving every minute of it I immediately started to read Shimmer. Both books were a nice change from the normal paranormal stuff I read but Shimmer didn't quite meet my exceptions. I thought we would find out more about the Here and Now and especially more ...
This was a pretty dark addition to the Riley series. I thought this series was for younger YA readers, but there was a lot of slave, murder, and horrible death talk in this one! Lots of bad memories for all the characters once they encounter Rebecca. But Riley is strong and persistent if nothing els...
This is the second book in the Riley Bloom series. It didn't grab me the way the first had. I'm glad the narrator was the same because I think she does a good job at giving Riley a voice. Other than that, though, I wasn't really interested in this story. I don't think I actively listened to most of ...
The second in the series & it was as delightful as the first. This is an easy read & an insightful look into the mind of Riley. Riley is on vacation and decides to take matters into her own hands when she is confronted by a huge Hell Beast (dog). She figures if she can "convince" a troubled soul to ...
Shimmer was so much better than Radiance. I was a bit skeptical coming into it because Radiance disappointed me so much. All in all though, it turned out to be a good read with underlying messages and lessons that younger readers can take with them. Fortunately, Shimmer was much more adventurous an...
I originally wasn't going to read Shimmer - I didn't enjoy Radiance much - I found a few plot holes and thought that it was a bit too childish altogether. However I received a copy for review of Shimmer, and decided it would be worth the read - after all, it's pretty short! I'm pleased to say that I...

Descriptive, creative and poetic. 3 words I can use to describe how Shimmer is. Some say Alyson Noel's Immortal series was clique and well nothing new. But with her spin-off of The Immortal series, she has grown as a writer even when the book is barely 200 pages long. I found her recent writing insp...
Read my review of Radiance and Shimmer at Smash Attack Reads: http://www.smashattackreads.com/2011/05/double-review-radiance-and-shimmer-by.htmlI quickly noticed a difference in my tolerance of Riley. She was definitely less whiny and a bit more spunky. I was still not enamored with her or the story...
