4½ StarsOK, so I really don't know where to start on this novel. I don't normally read contemporary, but when I saw this I was instantly intrigued. So I gave it a go. I’m not so sure that was such a good idea…but every reader needs to step out of t...
2½ StarsIf you are a fan of the prequel series you might dive right into Flamecaster and love this new spin off series from Chima. But for me this one lost a lot of luster once the climax of the beginning was over. The story fell flat and the chara...
3 StarsOMG I have to say that this book blew me away! I haven't read anything so funny in a while. Although I do think this book should have been updated for this time period instead of using things like The Brady Bunch etc. As I don't think most...

3½ StarsThis is another book in the “pretty little liars” series in which it would be best to read the others in the series, or be totally lost. I admit that this isn’t my normal fanfare and while “Stunning” is not my favorite book, it isn’t a bad...
3 StarsI picked this book up for its cover and bought it still dazed in 'the Hunger Games faze'; meaning I wanted a book with a little competition and maybe a little fighting. In the end, I was pleasantly surprised. This book isn't like anything I...
