I keep questioning myself: Why am I still following this series, despite being sorely disappointed by the first two installments? Oh, right. It was because a dear friend said she loves the last two volumes, and looking at reviews they do seem to be better. So I'm holding on. For now.Anyway, this ...
I had high expectations from this one since I loved the former book. Although it wasn’t as good as the third book, it still had its perks. I love that Devlin finally discovered who and what he truly is and stood up to it rather than just obey his sister.I had one major problem with it though, tha...
Keenan stepping down needed to have happened in book one. That whole frickin' quadrangle was drawn out past necessity and the series as a whole would have been a lot more enjoyable if it had been dealt with early on. I think I might have actually enjoyed reading these books without it, and the ...
Must read series in order... I read this one first so was hard to follow I have to admit that I'm not the biggest fan of Marr's writing style, but I am liking her ideas.
This is a story about two people, Rebekkah and Byron, who discover that the little town they both call home has secrets they never could have guessed. There are ancient contracts, strange death rituals, and heavy prices paid for all of it. I found the plot engaging and I kept turning pages in my...
Una serie di racconti d'amore con protagonisti non infernali, ma piuttosto sovrannaturali.Una ragazza, ancora traumatizzata dalla morte, di cui si incolpa, e dalla comparsa del fantasma della sorella, scopre che in casa sua è stato commesso un omicidio e che il fantasma del ragazzo invade i suoi ...
I have not yet read the Wicked Lovely series by Melissa Marr, so the best thing I can say about this anthology is that, the short stories have actually tantalised me enough to go and check out the series itself. While the other stories were too short and abrupt too actually warrant a rating, the ...
I really enjoyed this book, I often just jump into a book without reading what its about but rather based on Genre. I had no idea this book was a compilation of short stories written by great dystopian and paranormal romance writers. The short stories left me wanting for more, I wanted all the ...
A quick little read, following Leslie into her new life and school, but with Fey protectors. Irial watches her constantly and Niall sends guards to ensure she is safe.She also has a mortal protector. The girl is surrounded by stalkers and still ends up with a gun in her side.I got slightly frus...
I'm sure we are all familiar with Melissa Marr. She is the bestselling author of the Wicked Lovely series and is known for her delectably fluid writing style. She has established herself as a fantasy author, however her newest novel, Made For You, falls in the contemporary genre. I read Wicked Lo...
Almost two years of having this book, I have finally chosen to read it. This is a good collection of stories, and definitely better than "Prom Nights From Hell". I also have the next book which is called "Vacations from Hell".Sleeping with the Spirit - Laurie Faria StolarzA ghost story, a very ty...
It is kind of hard to rate this book, as I thought each story sort of deserved a different rating. I liked most of them okay, except Fan Fictions, I didn't like that one at all. This is a YA book, & a quick reading book. It is one I will NOT keep & will trade, although since it was such a fast ...
Sleeping with the Spirit: **** starsThis was an interesting story, I really liked it. It features love, but also how to overcome grief and continue with your life, to family and friends. Also has a wonderful ghost. I particularly loved the ending. He will always be with her, no matter what. :)S...
I have various feelings depending on the different short stories that were presented in this book.I loved the story of the "Winter's kiss", "Love Struck", and the story " The sleeping girl and the summer king".The rest of the stories bored me and i couldn't thoroughly finish reading them.I'm not ...
This was a little short story at the end of Fragile Eternity about Aislynn's bff, Leslie. Leslie misses Niall and Irial, but feels it is best for herself to keep her distance. In this little short story, Marr explains to her readers the love in which Leslie, Niall and Irial endure for eachother. ...
This was a great ending to a great begining! I loved how when she found out who it was how everybody reacted and pretty much knew right away. Then Leslie and Niall. They throw me through a loop! Evertime! I love Leslie and Niall but no matter what happens they just run away from each other! I hat...
I did really enjoy this companion novel. Perhaps not as much as the books that were within the original series, but it was a very cool side story to find out what happened to one of the other girls who attempted Keenan's test and failed. And while I really enjoyed Rika and Jayce together, I was...
Only a short story but packed with action and a good plot. Another Fae child wanting to retain her humanity while her Fae family want her to become full Fae. I felt bad for her and the good love interest Cillian. I wished he was something that would allow him to be with her but sadly not. If you ...
I give up.I just can't take it. When your back starts to hurt because you're trying to drag your eyes across the heavy pages of a non-event insipid book like this one, it's time to call it quits. Like, forever.I don't know how many times, while I was reading this, that I ended up staring into spa...
That, unfortunately, wasn’t an option, so she did as the named heir to the two courts should do: she turned to her betrothed and her brother and said, “We should figure out the next step.” Rhys frowned. “Tonight changes nothing.” “You have a son, one Mother has been willing to sacrifice, one she ...
This part of the city was painful for any fey other than a regent to visit. It was why he wanted Leslie there, safe from the prying eyes of Irial’s fey. It wouldn’t stop Irial himself, but it would keep Leslie safe from the rest of the Dark Court—even as it would sicken Niall.I deserve it, though...
It seemed a bit of a perversity that the Wasteland had such an overabundance of dismal locales: barren deserts, hovel-filled frontier towns, thick forests crawling with wretched beasts, and oceans that were populated by still more monstrosities. Still, it was the desert he liked the least. For we...
It was a solid hit to his chest. As he started to fall farther forward, she brought her elbow down on the back of his neck. He grunted at impact and bent double, but didn’t go to the ground. “Good,” he said. “Harder though, especially if it’s not me you’re fighting.” He grabbed her calf and jerke...
She’d called and quit her job without notice; being around mortals right now was untenable. Of course, being around Others wasn’t a good idea, either. Nyx had been tracking her; the older glaistig knew something was going on. Eavan couldn’t risk going out, couldn’t face talking to Nyx, and couldn...
Unlike the curs who entered the competition, ruling-class daimons had the ability to resume their lives if they forfeited. If she weren’t carrying the secret she had and if she weren’t female, she could do that too. The daimons who filled The City didn’t know she was as trapped as the curs were, ...
He had spent several hours looking for Rika, checking all of her usual hideaways, but had been forced to admit defeat. She’d never been this angry with him, and he could admit—quietly, to himself—that he would be angry if he were in her position. Of course, he manipulated people and faeries as ea...
Once he’d marveled that mortals didn’t cross it more often, but unlike faeries and halflings, most mortals didn’t see the gate. The mortals and halflings who ended up in Faerie were taken or stumbled there unawares. The High Queen wasn’t particularly tolerant of uninvited guests, especially those...
