Review: Revival

Revival by Jena Leigh

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



This book was amazing! Jena Leigh did an astounding job with this book.

Dealing with stress alone is horrid... but when the stress causes changes in you that are absolutely sudden and major and not quite normal, we could all be so fortunate to handle it as well as Alex did. Alex struggles to stay alive, so she thinks, as someone constantly tracks her down and attempts to kill her. Turns out, life is much more complicated than she thought and not everyone is telling her the truth. Is it for her own good? Or are there ulterior motives?

I honestly couldn't put this book down. I had to know what happens next! And then I reached the end of the book and I knew I was hooked to this series. I love how we switch points of view between Alex and most of the other main characters of the story. It's nice to see and know about events from their point of view and get a different perspective.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves YA or paranormal with a touch of romantic tension. This book is very well written and I'm glad to have read it.

Review: Broken Faith

Broken Faith by Brandy Nacole

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



Overall, I absolutely LOVED this book! The fight for belief and redemption and saving souls and yet keeping it all in the mortal world was wonderful. This was an excellent beginning to a new series and I look forward to reading more.

My only issues were that sometimes a character name was used that hadn't been used before and that would confuse me for a minute or two. Other than that and a few typographical errors, I enjoyed the book immensely and read it all in one night.

Bravo to the author for her grand imagination. I look forward to following Emma and how she deals with this battle of good and evil. I also want to see if Sabrina can be redeemed... Even I believe she can!

Review: Night Bites

Night Bites by Amber Lynn

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



The story continues for Nyx Slaughter and her two mates, Sebastian and Alex. Even more problems arise as they struggle to find solutions and get used to this odd relationship they all find themselves in.

This book is on par with the second one in terms of emotional connection and such. It's a little hard to connect with Nyx, all of her angst makes you feel a little put off. But being inside her mind is amusing and seeing how she thinks.

I do think this story is a great addition to the series and I wonder how the new arising problems will be solved.

I believe this series could be absolutely fantastic with a little more editing, but give it a try for yourself and see what you think!

Review: Night Marks

Night Marks by Amber Lynn

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



This book is better written than the first book in the series, in my opinion. The emotions are better to understand and you can connect with the characters on a much better level.

The reason I still only give 3 out of 5 stars is that sometimes, it still is hard to understand why a character suddenly switches moods and gets upset or happy.

However, I like the way the story progresses and how the complications in the relationships are dealt with in a comical manner. Nyx, Sebastian, and Alex make quite the trio.

I recommend this book to those who read the first one and do enjoy vampire/werewolf series. This is NOTHING like the famous Twilight series, so no worries to those who did not enjoy that series.

Review: Night Calls

Night Calls by Amber Lynn

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



This book has an excellent premise and idea behind it. I love the idea of it. However, it was very hard to connect with the characters. Understanding their emotions was difficult. There were times when I wasn't sure if they were joking with one another or if they were truly mad at each other.

There was a lot of interaction between characters, which is a bonus for me. I like seeing how characters react and interact with one another, not just inner interaction with the self.

I give this book three out of five stars because I do really like the idea of this book, but to be honest, I think with a little more editing, this book could become excellent. But don't take my word for it. Give it a try yourself!

Review: Beautiful Redemption

Beautiful Redemption by Kami Garcia

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



The 4th and final book in the Caster Chronicles, Beautiful Redemption begins a short time after Beautiful Chaos leaves off.

The last book left you in tears and wondering what happens next. Honestly, the series could have left off with the last book and been alright. But these authors took it further...

Is Ethan content to simply remain in the afterlife? What happens there? How does Lena and Amma cope with losing the boy they love the most? How does Ethan's father take it?

This book does NOT disappoint in answering all of those questions and more. The typical view on the afterlife is usually shared amongst books, but this book takes a different spin on it and I must admit, I absolutely love it.

Unlike the first 3.5 books, which focus on events from Ethan's perspective, this book switches back and forth from Ethan's to Lena's to Ethan's again, so you know what is happening in both the living realm and afterlife.

The ending... the ending will leave you happy and yet sad all at the same time. Does Ethan succeed? I will leave that for you to find out. And believe me, it is well worth finding out.

I highly recommend this book. It is a wonderful ending to the series and resolves a lot of loose ends.

Review: Beautiful Chaos

Beautiful Chaos by Kami Garcia

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



Book 3 of the Caster Chronicles, Beautiful Chaos picks up where Beautiful Darkness left off. Plague-like occurrences begin to affect Gatlin and Lena and Ethan try to understand why and what's going on.

Since Lena's claiming at the end of the last book, things have been going crazy and only head further down that route as time progresses. Just when you think it couldn't get more insane... it does.

Somehow, you can feel everything coming to a crescendo. There has to be a big clash somewhere and you know it's around the corner. You anticipate it and yet... you don't want it to come.

You cheer throughout the book, especially as Link comes into his newfound abilities and gains actual courage and self-esteem in himself.

But in the end, you are left with a shocker; nothing really fully prepares you for what happens, even though you know it's coming. I won't lie... I cried. An excellent addition to the series, I highly recommend this book to anyone and everyone!
