Review: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes

October 4, 2020October 5, 20203 Comments

4 out of 5 stars Goodreads.com: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, by Suzanne Collins (The Hunger Games #0) I wasn't immediately excited to hear that Suzanne Collins was publishing prequel to The Hunger Games. In our world of novellas and spin-offs, most attempts to revisit or extent a completed story feel like weak money … Continue reading Review: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes

2.5 out of 5 stars Goodreads.com: Grim Lovelies, Megan Shepherd (Grim Lovelies #1) Anouk lives in a magical world adjacent to ours, and spends her days as a maid in the Parisian townhouse of the witch who created her. That witch, Mada Vittora, made other servants too, all from animals. But this kind of magic … Continue reading Review: Grim Lovelies

Review: Kingdom of Ash

December 23, 20181 Comment

3.5 out of 5 stars 147 hours and 43 minutes of audiobook.  Just over six entire days.  The complete Throne of Glass series. To call the Throne of Glass series "epic" is a laughable understatement. Sarah J. Maas's truest talent lays in the insane scope of her worlds. From one land to another, then to other … Continue reading Review: Kingdom of Ash

Review: Crown of Midnight

February 8, 2018February 9, 2018Leave a comment

4 out of 5 stars Setup done, the second book in the Throne of Glass series bursts with equal parts world-building and kick ass heroine. Goodreads.com: Crown of Midnight, by Sarah J. Maas (Throne of Glass #2) Celaena Sardothian, newly victorious, embarks upon her period of indenture as champion to the King of Aderlan. Still … Continue reading Review: Crown of Midnight

Review: Ice Like Fire

September 6, 2017Leave a comment

2.5 out of 5 stars Another series I really want to enjoy, but I just can't get past the mess. Goodreads.com: Ice Like Fire, by Sara Raasch (Snow Like Ashes #2) The first installment of this series, Snow Like Ashes, didn't fully engage me, and at the end, just seemed lacking of the very magic its … Continue reading Review: Ice Like Fire

Binge Watch: Shadowhunters

April 14, 2017April 14, 2017Leave a comment

I love campy entertainment. Movies, TV - if it's awesomely bad, if it's angst-y and teenager-y, it's for me. So I knew I would love "Shadowhunters." Let me begin with a disclaimer: I work in entertainment PR. While promoting "The Mortal Instruments" movie, I was not shy about my fandom to all my serious, real-world adult work … Continue reading Binge Watch: Shadowhunters

Review: Raging Sea

April 6, 2017April 6, 2017Leave a comment

4 out of 5 stars I love this series! It's very masculine for a YA series with a female heroine, and that makes the gritty conflict more intense and the few moments of romance even sweeter. Goodreads: Raging Sea by Michael Buckley Raging Sea, the second book in the "Undertow" trilogy, picks up with Lyric Walker as … Continue reading Review: Raging Sea

Review: Heartless

April 3, 2017April 3, 2017Leave a comment

1.5 out of 4 stars This one hurt. I adored Marissa Meyer's "The Lunar Chronicles" - I'd give it every book 5 stars - so my expectations here were really high. Heartless, sadly, falls far short. Goodreads: Heartless by Marissa Meyer Heartless is the story of Lady Catherine Pinkerton, daughter of a Marquess and the best … Continue reading Review: Heartless
