I think my actual rating would be closer to 4.5 stars. I very much enjoyed it but there was just a tiny little something missing.Honestly I had pretty low expectations and I'm not sure why. Ultraviolet has been reviewed quite well and it's right in my genre. It just wasn't really on my radar, I gues...
'Ultraviolet' takes a reader on a journey they never expect to take.The mystery and adventure starts on the very first page and doesn't stop. I really enjoyed how it started in the mental institution with Alison's sanity in question. That kind of start instantly had me intrigued with her story. Th...
The good thing: Misleading blurb alert!! Ultraviolet is much more than a murder mystery. The bad thing: It still bored me to death -_- Before I justify my (unpopular) opinion, I have a confession to make. I was never really interested in Ultraviolet. Reading this book was an act of desperation. ...
Alison is sixteen, and currently residing in a mental institution. Ever since she was little, she's know she's not quite like everyone else. To her, words have distinct tastes and colours.

This book surprised me. For a while I thought it was a solidly 3 star book but was frequently taken aback by unexpected depth and interesting plot movement. Ended up loving it, and look forward to the next one. It's almost as though it was a 3 star book with 5 star moments, so I have hopes the next ...
After reading the seriously awesome description on Goodreads about a year ago, I remember always wanting to read Ultraviolet by author R.J. Anderson. It sounded scary, thrilling and creepy, but also like something in the plot would take me by surprise. Needless to say, by the time I finally got arou...
I like the picture on the front, but what is it made of? It's falling off! Seriously. And because I bought mine in a W.H.Smith in London who happened to have a 'Buy two for one's price' sale (I actually paid for both books. Didn't see it until I was safely in the plane), there was this sticker on th...
