The Mark was…interesting. I didn’t hate it. I know, I know, it’s not a good sign when all I can say about a book is that I didn’t hate it but honestly, I found the book interesting but at the same time, it wasn’t what I was expecting. The cover leads me to believe that the novel is going to be focus...

This is one of those books that I could have happily gone through life having never bothered reading it. The style of writing is decent enough, never irritatingly clunky or long-winded, but dry.I can appreciate the situation Cassie faced with her strange ability, losing her grandmother, etc., but I ...

The Mark is a phenomenal debut novel that makes the reader question the rightness of informing someone of their impending death. Despite a slow beginning, I really enjoy this novel. Cassie is a character that is easy to relate to. And as a reader, it was interesting to see how her mind worked in reg...

I actually won an ARC of this book, which makes me extremely squee-y. It also makes me want to write a good review! I am clearly doing very well with that objective, as evidenced by the inclusion of "squee-y" in my first sentence. Yay grammar and spelling!Cassandra Renfield has been able to see the ...

Quick PJV fact, my first year of college I went through like ten majors, psychology, ancient history, philosophy, english, and then finally landing on Fine Arts. This book gives a quick touch on most of my college obsessions, which is one of the reasons I liked it; probably more than I would if it ...
