AWESOME! This book was so freakin' creepy! I absolutely loved every minute of this book. I didn't read any spoilers so everything was a surprise to me (and there were some big ones!) One of the things I loved about this book was that it was so very different from everything else I've read. I thi...
When I first started reading this book I was struck by a moronicgenius idea. Remembering all the sheer terror fun I had as a teenager staying up late and watching scary movies I decided to try to bring back that youthful stupidity excitement and prove to myself how dumb tough I still am. You see, I ...
Just when I think that I'm all full up of end-of-the-world/vampire/YA books, something like The Hallowed Ones comes along and takes me on a 'unputdownable' ride. I was immediately drawn into the serenity of the Amish world through Katie's eyes. Bickle's ability to paint an accessible picture of this...
Review: I feel that this read is somewhat ironic, after I have stated many times that I avoid Christian fiction. I make an exception when it comes to Amish literature. I find the Amish lifestyle highly fascinating, and I have a level of respect for their culture and living close to the Earth and car...
There are some instances of repetitive prose (don't ask me to count how many times she jammed her fist into her mouth or covered her mouth) and I don't like how the girl Katie hates for a ridiculous reason ends up dead shortly thereafter, but overall, this is a great book and much better than I expe...
When I added The Hallowed Ones to my to-read list I thought it was more along the lines of a serial killer type thriller. Maybe something more along the lines of Witness, but was surprised that this was not the case. The killers were vampires instead, and not the seductive pretty kind either. For so...
3.5 starsVery interesting story/concept even with the glut of vampire fiction on bookshelves lately. It was easy to read, but nothing especially interesting about the prose.
One of very few and fab dystopians I've read this year. This is not the first time I'm reading Laura Bickle, and it's not the first time I notice her very sensible approach to female sexuality without any extra drama involved. The characters leap from the pages, the atmosphere is extremely creepy, a...
Mind blow. MIND SERIOUSLY BLOWN.So, the setting for the novel is the following: Katie, a Plain girl, a child of an Amish community is waiting anxiously for her Rumspringa (Pennsylvanian German noun meaning "running around"), the period of adolescence for (some) members of Amish community during whic...
**No spoilers.3.75 starsTypically, when I go into a vamp, zomb, alien, etc. dystopian, I expect lots of gore, lots of action, and little lag. Typically, when I don’t get these things, I sulk and bitch profusely. Color me confused as to why I was able to do without with this one. I can’t say that The...
