Review: Touch of Power

Touch of Power by Maria V. Snyder

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



Really awesome book. Trying to find book #2. Avry and Kerrick were to die for.

I love how Avry is so bada**. Kerrick is quite annoying at the beginning. Still not sure how and when they fell for each other, but I guess opposites attract.

Review: Taste It

Taste It by Sommer Marsden

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



Decent. Yes, this was erotica and it had a lot of sex, but it had a pretty good story-line as well. Most erotic romance is just sex from the first page to the last, but I was surprised and delighted with the plot. Two chefs competing on T.V.? Never heard of it before, and it was executed well.

But this is still an erotic novel and there was explicit sex scenes, and lots of them. Steamy but sometimes sweet. I'm glad it turned into something more for both characters instead of mindless sex.

Review: A Million Suns

A Million Suns by Beth Revis

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



I've waited a long time to read this, since it's been a long time since I could get my hands on a copy of the book. I didn't quite remember where Across the Universe left off, but I still think that this was a pretty good book.
It was depressing as hell and made me think way too much, but it was good.

Except...Amy pissed me off. So. Bad. She's stubborn, and selfish and I just do not like her. Throughout the book she tries to get Elder to run the ship the way she wants it, or thinks it needs to be run. She didn't like Phydus so the people were taken off, she doesn't like Orion, so he had to stay frozen. It's really quite annoying. I understand that Elder is devoted to her, that he loves her (only he never says that,) but it ticks me off at how everything has to be just the way she wants it. She demands so much from Elder, yet doesn't really give that much in return. She should have told him about Luthor right when it happened, not three months later after Victria is hurt. She wallows in self-pity and self-made fear and then shuts Elder out, when he's the only one that is there to help her.

So, besides for Amy I think it was a decent book, but since Amy is the FMC, the book only gets 3 stars.

Review: Ascend

Ascend by Amanda Hocking

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



LOOOOOOOVE THIS! I was putting this off for a really long time, since I knew the ending, due to another review having spoilers. I hate spoilers and so I sort of rebelled. I would NOT read the book, I would be strong.

So a year later, and I decided to read the book. I'm so happy that I did. Now, I'm in a book hangover, and I don't know how I'm going to be able to cope. I'm very pleased with the way things were wrapped up though. There was an epilogue and so there are no questions, no cliffhangers. Things were wrapped up very nicely. I'm quite pleased with the way things turned out and I can now say that I am firmly Team Loki. I was Team Finn. I am now Team Loki. Due to spoilerage I won't say why, but if you're still Team Finn at the end of the book then I don't think we read the same books.

Since it was so long since I've read books one and two I can't remember if the book picked up where the others left off, but I'm pretty sure that they do.

Awesome read, very awesome read.

Review: Darker Still

Darker Still by Leanna Renee Hieber

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



Odd, but delightful. Written in a manner that makes it quick paced, but still intriguing and full of suspense. Quite a tangled mess and still, easy to follow along with.

Lord Denbury and Natalie are quite a pairing and I wished there were more details of the kissing scenes (I'm such a perv.)

Review: Falling Under

Falling Under by Gwen Hayes

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



Loved it. The mature language and circumstances made it so much more believable.
Donny is amazing and Ame is just like I was in high school. I completely believed both as real characters in a high school today.
Haden is delectable. I loved how there wasn't a love triangle. Theia and Haden are meant for each other and I can't wait to see how it works out in the next book.

The ending threw me off a little with the major POV changes, but I feel that it was a good move and needed. I didn't really like the final shift into Theia's POV, but I think that's just because I loved Haden's POV so much. He was just like a teen-aged boy.

Review: Firelight

Firelight by Sophie Jordan

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



I don't know why I waited this long to read this book - it was fantastic!
I'm on a bit of a dragon kick right now, so this fit perfectly with what I'm feeling.

Jacinda and Tamra were so believable as sisters! My sisters and I are the same way!

Cassian and Will are interesting choices. I feel like they're almost on polar opposites of the boy spectrum. I'm firmly Team Will.

Review: Dragonswood

Dragonswood by Janet Lee Carey

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



I really loved this book. I've had it for a while, but I just picked it up and devoured it.

This can be considered the second book in the series, but it has it's own story that stood alone.

I loved Tess. I came from a background similar to hers, not as bad, but still. She really hit a nerve and I'm so glad she got out of her abusive home.

Garth was amazing. I love him and Tess together even if there were some problems with their relationship.

Review: Immortal

Immortal by Gillian Shields

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



Took me a really long time to get into this one. Only started to interest me in the later half. Not sure if I'm going to read the sequel. The story line was original but Evie annoyed me a bit as well as Agnes' life story and all that. The first half was just annoying.
