Holly Black is one of those authors who I struggle with when it comes to putting her style of writing into a category. She's a little bit dark, a little bit snarky, and I get the distinct impression that she's going to write what she wants, the way she wants to, and screw anyone who doesn't like it....
The name may strike as another conventional vampire book. Girls, boys, vampires, bloodsucking and violence, suspense and forbidden love etc, right? WRONG. When I started reading it, I also had somewhat the same kind of idea about the book. But it is wayyy more than that! This is one vampire boo...
4.5 starsMs Black says this book is a love letter to all her old fave vampire stories and learning that I completely had a "aha! That's why!" moment because the whole time I was thinking : this book is halfway point between Angelfall and Interview with a Vampire!!!!! But in a good way. I loved this ...
Wow, where do I start with this one. I have a thing for vampires, and I like the dark, and creepy ones and that is exactly what I got. The narrator was fantastic, and seems to capture all the characters voices quite well, even thought this book seemed to be sooo long. I think the last audiobook I li...

***Note: This review assumes that you've read the book.*** One-sentence summary: a strong if somewhat reckless heroine stars in what would otherwise have been labeled a pulpy YA paranormal romance...if it weren't for the profligate use of gore and an excellent gender-neutral cover image. I thin...
Let me start of by saying, look at this beautiful cover!! It's gorgeous. I didn't like it at first, but it's really grown on me. Now for my thoughts on the novel itself. It's refreshing to read a stand-alone YA fantasy novel, as they are few and far between, but I'm not a big fan of vampire novel...
For the past ... some number of years I've been avoiding the vampire young adult novels and movies. I figure the reason for this can go pretty much unspoken. I blame the book-series-that-shall-not-be-named. Twilight. cough. hack. Even saying the name after reading the first two books in the se...
Audio- great narrator. I loved this tale of vampires and segregation. The vampires are not sparkly loving dead angels, these biters are viscous and manipulative beasts. There was a real life quality with the characters, I could believe in them.The story follows a young girl who wakes up to find ever...
Why did I wait so long to finally read this?? I admit, I bought this release day. I let it sit inside my kindle unread for three months. Mostly it was because I'm getting a bit tired of the same old vampire stories that seem to bleed together until I can't quite remember what book was what. Well, th...
