I got started late! So I’m jumping in at week 2. =) Week 2 Questions: 1. Shortly after Kim arrives at the hospital, she goes to the hospital chapel to pray. How does this scene fit in with who she is? Mia mentions that Kim is Jewish, that she is only allowed to date Jewish guys and that she goes to a Jewish sleepaway camp every summer. It plays a big role in her life so it seems only expected […]

I know, I know. I have JUST recently read the Vampire Academy series. Shannon at Twilight Sleep and Judith at Paper Riot persuaded me to get the book to read and I absolutely loved it! First thing I’ll address is that there’s a lot of people who mention similarities from VA to Jennifer Armentrout’s Covenant series and consequently don’t like one or the other. I’ll just say that sure, there’s a half thing going on, and yes, there’s a school […]

Unbreakable was like… a season ofΒ 24. Fast paced, action packed, crazy twists, lots of wtf moments and SO addicting. Once again, as in Unraveling, there is a countdown and that was also a bit reminiscent ofΒ 24 to me. That’s one of my favorite shows so it’s no wonder I loved this book too. Unbreakable is the sequel to Unraveling, so if you have not read Unraveling, do not read this because there will be spoilers to Unraveling!! Unbreakable picks up […]

Oh my goodness, what a fantastic sequel! In Blurred, we discover Cash’s story. Quick refresher from Inbetween — Cash survived a fire in which he should’ve died. Anaya, a reaper for Heaven, was supposed to have taken his soul but didn’t. Ever since that incident, Cash has been seeing shadows. They haunt him. He can’t sleep, he can’t function, he just can’t deal with having them everywhere, sucking the warmth out of every single molecule in the room. He’s falling […]
