When I first started this book, I went in knowing that many of my friends had given it one star. I was confused. Sure, it was clichéd and slow-moving, but it was still a pretty fun read, certainly nothing worthy of such abysmal ratings. I enjoyed the setting and the atmosphere, probably because b...
Ummm, review to come! After I figure out what my emotions are!UPDATEOriginal review, and other can be found on my little slice of the internet! So you know how I've been ranting on twitter about the complete lack of originality in today's fiction? What do you mean you don't follow me on twitter?! Of...
On a scale of one to five, The Sweetest Dark falls smack dab in the middle for me. I liked the historical aspects of the book, but wasn't as excited about the fantasy portion of the read. I have nothing against dragons, but the shifting in this book just didn't grab me. This one leans more towards t...
First of all, the cover is just beautiful! It caught my attention right off and I wanted to see what this book was about. When I read the summary, I knew I just had to read it. This is a whole new kind of Paranormal, so different than the typical vamp, werewolf, fairy, or angel stories out there. N...
What a wonderfully romantic book! THE SWEETEST DARK introduces a young child who was found wandering the streets of London. When no one claimed her, she was sent to an orphanage, named Eleanore Jones (but quickly became known as Lora), and raised in a very poor part of London. When she was found, sh...
UPDATE: I'll probably get on with this next time. >.< For now, I can't really seem to enjoy it or get it. :( Next time I'm requesting books at NG, I'll read the blurb. Remind me okay? LOL. Didn't know this is HISTORICAL. :o Yes, it's PNR. BUT I don't really read Historical. :o I just hope this is go...
Check out the full review on my blog!This story follows the life of Eleanor “Lora” Jones, an orphan in London during 1909. Although the story takes place in the past, the author gives the characters and events a modern feel. So much so, that I often forgot that this was set in 1909 until it would be...
This is a completely different book that what I thought. I liked that! I enjoyed going on a journey that is not what I thought it would be. Nice plot twist :)Now, what I enjoyed the most is the plot twist. With a young girl holding secrets, as the reader, I am excited to see what her destiny holds f...
Breathtakingly beautiful.“Those nights, in the sweetest dark, we shared our dreams.”I’ve always been fascinated by dragons. The dragon is one of the most fearsome yet regal of all the fantasy creatures. To me, dragons evoke strength, power, and wealth. There’s a lot to be said for a dragon’s ability...
I've been a fan of Shana Abe's adult romance novels for years, so when I discovered she was writing a Young Adult novel along the lines of her Drakon books, I was intrigued. So far, every YA novel I've read written by a adult romance novelist has been fantastic. I've noticed that many of these autho...
