The Sound: I really enjoyed the narrator for this one! I think it helped set up just the right atmosphere for the book because her voice of Grace seemed spot on to me. She really brought to life all the secondary characters. I think my enjoyment level would definitely have taken a dive if I had read and not listened to it on audio. The Story: That being said, while I enjoyed the audio narration, the story was a little […]

My Thoughts: This was one fast paced, intense ride! I enjoyed it so much!! The story starts out with Kate Thompson finding her father murdered. She immediately chases after them, determined to avenge […]

She is this super spunky, smart, outspoken woman that men wrinkle their nose at because that’s not how […]

My Thoughts: I DNF-ed at 36%. I was really looking forward to this. It’s supposed to be a historical fiction story of Alexander the Great mixed with fantasy elements. It sounds amazing! It’s totally something I’d be into. Unfortunately, this did not work out for me. And I tried really hard to push through. First of all, the tense it’s written in really threw me. It’s written in 3rd person present tense and I struggled with this. It kept jolting […]

This series has been on my list to read for quite awhile! First, the covers and dresses are gorgeous. Secondly, zombie aspect drew me in because I love zombie stories!

Eleanor Fitt is just your normal girl until mass numbers of zombies interrupts her day to day life. The Dead, as they are called in this series, […]
