Audiobook Review – The Ruby Circle by Richelle Mead

Audiobook Review – The Ruby Circle by Richelle Mead

Unlike many of other series enders from this author, the final book in Richelle Mead's Bloodlines series was anticlimactic and dull. Adrian and Sydney have become increasing more boring over the last few books. I enjoyed the first half of the series a lot because of the ...

Audiobook Review – Hallowed by Cynthia Hand

While Unearthly didn't resonate as deeply with me as other readers, HALLOWED was completely captivating. I couldn't wait to listen to it every morning on my way to and from work because I was so wrapped up in the story! Unearthly sets the stage for everything that happens ...

Book Review – The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

Four score and seven years ago this book was unleashed unto the world and nearly all of my fellow readers have read it. THE HUNGER GAMES is young adult at its finest with incredible character development and action that left me emotionally drained while rooting for ...

After a rather disappointing fourth book, I'd hoped that SILVER SHADOWS would set the Bloodline series back on the path to greatness. I felt slightly more engaged reading this book when compared to its predecessor but still felt like the series has lost its drive. The end ...

After the completely romantic ending of The Indigo Spell, I couldn't wait to find out what was next for Adrian, Sydney, and the rest of the Palm Springs gang. As much as it pains me to say, I had such a difficult time getting into THE FIERY HEART on two separate occasions. ...

“…I remember a story that I read. A Native American tale where the Cherokee tells his grandson there’s a battle between two wolves in all of us. One is evil, the other good. The boy asks him, Which wolf wins? The Cherokee tells him, The one you feed.” Wow! GOOD ME BAD ME ...

Audiobook Review – The Indigo Spell by Richelle Mead

This is where things get very, very, VERY interesting! If you read my review for The Golden Lily, (and several others' reviews) then you know that I was sort of dying over that ending. And thus, Richelle Mead blesses us with The Indigo Spell, a book filled with seriously ...
