My last book of 2014 and what a way to end it. I haven't read many five star books in the last few months, but this has definitely changed that! This book had everything I could have asked for from it: a gripping plot, a sarcastic hero, side characters with actual point to the story, an epic vill...
Words can't even explain my love for this book I stayed up super late reading it because the ending was so intense I was literally tearing up. The characters in this story are spot on and the character development is great. This book definitely creeped me out the Obeahman still haunts my dreams a...
This book, though good, was to say a second book. It was lacking the same finesse of Anna Dressed in Blood, but that was mostly because it was largely missing Anna. I found that mostly there was no point to this book. Almost nothing was accomplished and i could have lived without it. Cas Lowood g...
It was great to revisit these characters, and I really liked the continuation of the story. It's just that the ending, while all-around proper and touching, still seemed a bit "abrupt" as far as Anna & Cas's relationship is concerned. I still wish there was a bit ore exploration about *why* Cas l...
Antigoddess has several of my favorite things (Greek mythology, prickly heroines, good action) so I wasn't surprised that I liked it. Kendare Blake has an earnest way of writing that fits a contemporary setting well, and I really, really like how she portrayed Athena (which is not at all how I'd ...
The author used the first person present tense which made the flow of the book choppy and juvenile sounding. I get what she was trying to do but it wasn't working and at that point in writing she should've rewritten it in a different tense. (Shocking I know) but it was obviously not flowin'. And ...
I just can't gush enough about @KendareBlake novels, and this one is no exception.MORTAL GODS, book two in THE GODDESS WARS continues the modern-day war between several of the Greek Gods.Athena, Goddess of war and her brother Hermes continues their tenuous alliance with Cassandra, the contemporar...
The people have neutered and spayed them, taken away their instincts to fight and breed, and turned them into polite citizens. They roam in beggar’s packs and split the take in back alleys. They pant on street corners, waiting for the walk signal to cross. They ride the metro and count the stops ...
Henry crunched through M&M’s with circles under his eyes so dark they looked like bruises. Andie and Cassandra split their third Kit Kat. Andie’s leg bounced up and down at a jittery pace, and even though she’d showered her costume makeup off an hour ago, Cassandra knew she still looked dead....
They have never been so game in their lives. Even so, they and their riders must all rest for the night in Highgate, and upon reaching the outskirts of Indrid Down, Arsinoe uses Billy’s father’s money to wheedle them new mounts, as well as a cart-lead back to Wolf Spring for the horses loaned to ...
