Review: Dirty Talk by Megan Erickson

Review: Dirty Talk by Megan Erickson

Why Did I Read? I’ve seriously loved all of Megan Erickson’s books so this was a no brainer! My Thoughts: I was so happy to be back with the Paytons! I just love all members of this crazy family and couldn’t wait to get Brent’s story. Since Dirty Thoughts, I was excited for Brent because he’s just a funny, carefree, guy. He’s the one who tells the jokes and he had me cracking up continuously in the previous book. In Dirty Talk, […]

Series Review: The Lumatere Chronicles by Melina Marchetta

Series Review: The Lumatere Chronicles by Melina Marchetta

Posted September 7, 2015 by Wendy in Reviews / 4 Comments

Let me start off by saying that this series is supremely hard to review. What do I say that will describe the epicness that is this fantasy series? How can I tell you about how this series captured my heart and my emotions and a little bit of my soul? How do I explain how Melina Marchetta’s words are like magic? How do I even begin to tell you about the all time most amazing ships (yes, PLURAL) of all time? […]

Review: The Fixer by Jennifer Lynn Barnes

Review: The Fixer by Jennifer Lynn Barnes

Why Did I Read? The premise sucked me in! I love a good thriller! Plus, I really enjoyed Jennifer Lynn Barnes’ book The Naturals! My Thoughts: So basically I should go watch Veronica Mars and Scandal ASAP because I really enjoyed this one! And if those two comparisons are accurate, then I bet I’d love those shows too! In The Fixer, Tess is shuttled off to live with her sister in DC. The change is abrupt and she’s not a fan of […]

Review: The Conspiracy of Us by Maggie Hall

Review: The Conspiracy of Us by Maggie Hall

Why Did I Read? It sounded really interesting! The synopsis grabbed my attention with the talk of a “dangerous society”. My Thoughts: This is a solid example of how sometimes audiobooks just don’t work well for certain books. There are secret groups, two in particular that oppose each other. The Circle and the… crap I don’t remember the name of the other group but I kept getting the two confused. And that was a problem because I couldn’t keep straight who […]

Audiobook Review: Emmy & Oliver by Robin Benway

Audiobook Review: Emmy & Oliver by Robin Benway

The Sound: I thought the narrator Phoebe Strole was fantastic. I feel like all the emotion was transferred so well into Emmy’s voice! I loved listening to this one. The Story: This story is so interesting because the situation is just so.. well, messed up. Emmy and Oliver were best friends as kids and next door neighbors — until Oliver’s dad kidnapped him and everyone’s lives changed. Now, ten years later, he’s back. Everyone wants him to hate his dad […]
