Review: The Conspiracy of Us by Maggie Hall

Posted August 5, 2015 by Wendy in Reviews / 2 Comments

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 […]

I am probably the last blogger ever to have FINALLY read this series. I decided to do it for my June Summer of Series Challenge and I’m SO happy I did! I binged it in a matter of days! I completely get what the fuss is about because the story sucked me in and I loved it so.

She gets recruited and meets a cast of other teens who also have abilities such as a natural liar, natural with […]

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 […]

Review: Behind the Scenes by Dahlia Adler

My Thoughts: I’ve always really enjoyed plots that involve celebs and Hollywood and this story was great! Ally is your normal teen girl except her best friend, Vanessa, is an actress and now new star of a teen show! Ally and Van couldn’t be more different but through it all they’ve been there for each other and best friends. I loved seeing how supportive they are of each other! Anyway, Ally and her family are struggling financially due to her father’s […]
