The Son (Kindle Single) (Divergent Series-Collector's Edition Book 3)

Review:I have read the whole Divergent series. Unbelievable on the edge of your seat writing. These follow up books on Four, give more insight to the character and his guarded feelings and deep seeded reasons that he is what he is.... Be sure to read these books in order. You won't be disappointed. Read more

Hattie Big Sky (Hattie Series)
Hattie Big Sky (Hattie Series)

Review:Hattie Big Sky is purportedly a story about a teen having the courage to leave a safe, if unpleasant, home in Iowa to `prove up' (work) her deceased uncle's claim in Montana; hence, the `Big Sky' of the title. The story sounds simple. It takes courage in 1914 or any time for a young girl of only sixteen years to travel to a completely strange country (read, Montana) many miles from anyone or anything she has ever known in order to work really hard on the land by building fences and plowing an...

If There's No Tomorrow

Review:I've read every single one of Armentrout's books. I love her writing style, he world building and how real she makes her characters. But this book... This book showcases her skill to a whole new level.

The characters are real and believable, the theme is one that we all have faced or know someone who has. The storyline revolves around this:

"Until one choice, one moment, destroys everything."

That one choice that changes everything. That one moment, I know most us have lived... Read more

A Reverse Harem Paranormal Romance (Alinthia Book 1)
A Reverse Harem Paranormal Romance (Alinthia Book 1)

Review:I have never been into “out of this world” type stories. This was definitely a huge change of pace. You just gotta love the guys, they are just so different that they work perfectly together. And the way that they are with Tori is so adorably cute that you can’t wait to see how their relationships turn out. Though there is a lot of internal struggle within Tori, the guys try their best to help her... some more than others (grrr). And Tori is no damsel, she is strong, holds her ground and stands ...

The Problem with Forever (Harlequin Teen)
The Problem with Forever (Harlequin Teen)

Review:Jennifer L Armentrout writes the best characters with the best stories. But this book raises the bar even for her.

Emotional. This one is emotional and there's no way to not be effected by the lives of two people who grew-up in foster care under the worst of conditions. Two people who experience the same dread and misery but react very differently. One protects and one hides but they do it together and a bond is formed. Though they are separated, that bond stays.

Here's the th... Read more

Forgotten: Book #1 in The Lost Children Trilogy
Forgotten: Book #1 in The Lost Children Trilogy

Review:I really liked this book. I'm picky about character development, grammar and plot consistency - and this book did not disappoint me! I read this on holiday and couldn't put it down. I loved the storyline and intricate details that weaved the characters together and the way the author built up to but left the answers until the end. I'm really looking forward to the next book in this trilogy. Read more

My Brother Sam Is Dead (Scholastic Gold)
My Brother Sam Is Dead (Scholastic Gold)

Review:I think the language - based on what my 5th grader is telling me, is a little unnecessary. She is reading it as a school assignment and is a high-level. We're not prudes or uptight by any means, but it almost seems as if this isn't a "historical novel" as much as an "introduction to curse words" in the eyes of the young reader. Maybe if I actually read the book, I would find differently - but the point is that the 5th graders are the audience, and what are they taking away from the experience... Read more

I received this book for free from KidLitExchange in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.

Matched Trilogy box set

Review:A dystopian society. A love story. But, in my opinion I was overall disappointed.
I liked the first book a lot. Sped through it. I understood the rules of their world. The love story was exciting. There was mystery and I was SO curious by the end. From the 3 books I liked the exploration, hunger for knowledge and self-expression.
The bad. The second and 3rd book moved at a glacial pace for me. I was starting to get so bored with everything. My only hope was that some reviews said the endin... Read more
