This book was wonderful. The writing was powerful and beautiful. The strengths of this book was that is was suspenseful and kind of romantic. One weakness of this book was that it took me a while to really get into it. I would reccommend this book to a classmate because it is just a great book. T...
Link is one of my favorite characters so I’m glad I got the chance to read something that was just about him. This was in the point of view of Link, but told in Ethan’s voice and I liked that. We got a look at how something happened to Link the night of Lena’s seventeenth moon, which will definit...
Considering this book is titled "Beautiful Chaos" and book two is "Beautiful Darkness", I think book three has lost the chaotic structure of writing found in book two and regained literary order. It was much easier to digest. The story itself.... Couldn't read it fast enough.... Chaos reigned s...
Personally, I really didn't enjoy any of the books in the Caster Chronicles as much as some people but I also didn't hate them. I felt that the authors almost made the book too descriptive and it seemed like they spent a lot of time in almost an exposition. I did enjoy this book much more than th...
This book was AMAZING. I cried so much , oh my God. Let me talk about the end : - Ethan sacrificed himself to save Gatlin, to save his family and Lena. Whaaaat? I mean,I knew from the begining that he was The One who is Two ,but I never thought that he would kill himself by falling from the top o...
By far my favorite book series that I have ever read. I love how this story has so many twists and turns, and surprises that leave you breathtaken. The love that Lena and Ethan have for each other is something immeasurable, and you can feel it within yourself when you read how Ethan expresses it....
This is the next "Twilight" series in my opinion. I felt this entire series, from Beautiful Creatures through Beautiful Redemption . I could not put any of these books down...nor did I want to!! I absolutely enjoyed the first book and couldn't wait to read the next and the next. I actually order...
wayyy to short! i have a love/hate of kindle novellas. while on one hand, they give you a deeper look into the worlds that authors have created, they're also torturous because there are so few words. there's never enough to be satisfying, only enough to get emotions riled up only to be left breat...
Review Courtesy of April HollingworthI love the Dangerous Creatures series, but I found this short story a bit too short, and in so leaving out more than it should. I felt like I was left hanging at the end, too many questions and no answers. It being a short story in the series I’m sure the ques...
So I realize I sorta missed the boat with this series as I believe the first one came out in like, 2009. But whatever. I am not really going to talk much about the plot, mostly because throughout 4 books of at least 500 pages each, THERE IS SO MUCH OF IT. However there might be Spoilers, But I’ll...
I saw the movie first and thought I hope the book is better, and it actually was. I liked how for once the story was told from a guys point of view. When the last book in the series was told from lena's point of view I didn't like it much I couldn't wait for each an to come back. I kept reading ...
The Castor Chronicles series revolves around the protagonist Ethan Wate and how his life transforms from wanting to get out of the town of Gatlin, to wanting nothing else but to stay in because of a girl he's been having dreams about before he actually met her; Lena Duchannes.The Ravenwood planta...
4.5 Stars: Non-spoilers- WOWZA! I forgot how much I loved this series and Kami Garcia's writing. I love Supernatural-the kick ass television show- and the genre and if you like either of those things, definitely pick up this series.Spoilers- My heart has been punched. By whom, you ask? Oh, just U...
Phew, I am so glad that's over. I can't believe I actually made it through all those pages, I'm sure I wouldn't have done if I hadn't set myself the challenge of reading every monthly book club read chosen by one of my groups. Ugh. Seriously, just ugh. I have read some dismal books in the young a...
Ridley muttered from her seat on the dank basement floor.“You think?” Link sat next to her, staring up at the ceiling, where some kind of plumbing leaked through the planks and plaster.Not just a hellhole. A prison, she thought. You could almost hear the rats scurrying behind the kegs.How did I e...
I needed to feel something other than shock. But they felt like two regular wooden doors, even if they were about a thousand years old and framed with Niadic script, an even older lost language.I pressed my fingers against the wood. It felt like Sarafine’s blood was on my hands in this world, as ...
Sins of the Father Macon spent every spare moment with Lila Jane. Whether it was researching side by side in the Caster Library, walking her to class, or stealing a kiss, he wanted every single memory burned into his dark heart. Because she won’t be mine forever, he thought as he walked through t...
The farther we went, the less we saw. The air became brighter and heavier and wetter, until suddenly my feet came to the edge of the weathered planks — and what appeared to be an impenetrable wall of fog. “Is this the Great Barrier?” I squatted down, touching the place where the wood ended. My ha...
He’s investigating a “big case” with his partner, Tyson. He’s really sorry. Whatever. I have no idea what makes a case big or small, unless it’s related to the value of the stolen car. What I do know is that the investigation requires him to work lots of nights, a fact that makes me so happy I al...
It was the first and last time I ever set foot in a real school. My mother said she was tired of moving around and decided it was time to settle down and “plant some roots.” Even at six, I knew it wouldn’t last, but I was willing to take what I could get. That’s what you do when you don’t get muc...
GIRL IN THE YELLOW DRESS The wind increased and the girl’s hair whipped around her. She stepped forward one shiny patent-leather Mary Jane at a time, dragging the mangled doll. The child pointed at Lukas, the rage in her voice at odds with her innocent features. “I know what you want.” &nbs...
