Book Review – Are You Sleeping by Kathleen Barber
July 31, 2017 by · 1 Comment
Kathleen Barber's ARE YOU SLEEPING blends two formats together: the true crime podcast and a psychological thriller. Readers who are fans of true crime podcasts may want to give this book a try. I felt this novel was missing something, either unique plot and/or riveting ...

June 30, 2017 by · Leave a Comment
OMGoodness! The ending of this book is so exciting! The knife Richelle Mead plunged into my heart in Shadow Kiss is pushed in even deeper and then twisted in this book. BLOOD PROMISE is equal parts thrilling and emotionally painful as we see Rose travel across the world for ...

Book Review – Frostbite by Richelle Mead
January 17, 2017 by · 2 Comments
Richelle Mead ramps up the action, angst, and intense emotions in FROSTBITE. By the end, I didn't know whether to be happy or sad. I guess I should stop wasting time and read the next book. In FROSTBITE, the threat of the Strigoi increases, forcing Moroi and dhampirs to ...

I first read VAMPIRE ACADEMY more than four years ago. Remembering slow-burning forbidden romance between Rose and Dimitri and pulse-pounding action present throughout the whole series made me want to relive it all over again. Would I love it as much the second time around? ...
