Read the full review on Tales Between the PagesThe only reason why I read “The Holders” was because NetGalley gave me early access to “The Seers” and I didn’t realize it was the second book in a series until I got about five pages in. Oops. Let me tell you though, that was a happy accident. “The Hol...
The Holders... hmmm, I am not quite sure what to say. I liked that we have a new spin on people with super powers. I liked that some of those super powers felt new and different (from mind reading, mind control, telekinesis and projection... Fun!) I even liked the whole mystery school ala Mutant Aca...
You tried so hard to not be a cliché but in the end that was all you were. This is the only Strange Chemistry title that I’ve read that disappointed me. I say this with a heavy heart because honestly, I expected a lot from this book. The synopsis intrigued me and the cover was gorgeous. Alas a...
Okay, so "ordinary kid finds out one day that he/she has magic, turns out to be very powerful, has to fight Evil Enemy who wants to destroy the world and Powerful Kid is the only one with the power to stop the Evil Enemy" is ... not exactly a unique, original premise.That is not a problem. No, reall...
4.5/5Seeped in Irish history and mythology, The Holders is a riveting journey of self discovery that left me desperate for more. I enjoyed the setting and exploration of the mysterious powers the Holders have, the growth of Becca as she realised her temper and impetuous nature weren't always the ans...
Originally Reviewed at Witchmag's Boekenplank What a pleasant surprise this book was. I was intrigued after reading the blurb. What, no book about the chosen one, but his sister? Hmmm that sounds… interesting! It’s going to give a whole new perspective to the story, one that I haven’t got the chan...
Seventeen-year-old Becca is very protective of her family. Child of a divorced parents, she deeply cares about her mother and little brother Ryland, even it means sacrificing her own future. When another people visit them claiming that they can help her brother, Becca is reluctant to believe them. E...
Actual rating: 2.5 out of 5 starsWoah, my feelings about this one were all over the place when I finished it. On the one hand, The Holders was definitely not the book I was expecting or that the synopsis made it sound like it would be. When I first read the synopsis, my first thought was : cool li...
You know those books who stay with you long after you've read the last page? The kind of book you want to re-read the second you finish it. The Holders is that book for me. I adored it from the very beginning. It's almost a mix of X-men and Ireland which is just perfect!The writing is amazing and I ...
The Holders has two things going for it: Ireland and boarding schools. The former because this makes all the characters in my mind speak with Irish accents and that’s beautiful and music and the latter because I am a sucker for boarding school stories.Becca is rather more self-contained and assertiv...
