I was lucky and got this book through a Books for Trade deal on Twitter.  It came autographed even!  And, of course, as always seems to happen with every other JLA book I’ve picked up, I was immediately sucked in and hooked!  I took this book on my trip to New Orleans this past weekend […]

First, thanks to St. Martin’s Griffin and Edelweiss for allowing me to read an egalley of this final book in the Kanin Chronicles.  As I mentioned in the review for the 2nd book, Ice Kissed, that I finished right before I started this one, I just love this author and her writing.  And I have […]

First of all, thanks to Netgalley and St. Martin’s Press for allowing me to read an egalley of this.  For some reason I didn’t get to it before it was published, but then when I knew the third book in the series, Crystal Kingdom, was coming out, I had to hurry up and read this […]

First, thanks to Henry Holt and Company Books for Young Readers, as well as Edelweiss for allowing me to read an e-galley of this back in December.  For some reason I thought it was going to be published in January, so I read it earlier than I probably had to. But the only bad thing […]

After quickly getting through the first two books in the The Dark Elements series by Jennifer L. Armentrout, I got onto the database search at the bookstore where I work, and started looking at which of her titles we had in stock.  I was disappointed to not find any others than the ones I already […]

Okay, once again prepare for a love fest.  I am hooked now on Jennifer L. Armentrout’s books.  Being able to read the first one, White Hot Kiss, and then this 2nd one right after it, is going to make it very hard to wait until the third one, Every Last Breath, comes out this July.  […]

About a month ago I got a stripped cover copy of the 2nd book in this series from the bookstore where I work.  So I had to go to the library to check out the first book.  And then, wouldn’t you know, the first book became a stripped cover at my bookstore, so now I […]

First, thanks to St. Martin’s Griffin and Edelweiss for allowing me to read an e-galley of this title.  I’ve been a fan of Amanda Hocking since I downloaded a 99 cent e-book of the first book in the Trylle series, Switched.  I read that book while sitting in line waiting for one of the Harry […]

I have to thank Henry Holt and Company for sending me an ARC of this, I believe through a link in the Shelf Awareness e-newsletter.  It also says on the back this is supposed to be part of the Fierce Reads campaign, which as you’ve seen earlier, is something I really love!  I don’t think […]

Okay, I am officially in love with this series, and hoping this author has books other than this series that I can read!!!  I love the characters in this book.  And at first I thought one of the newer ones was really going to annoy me, a ghost gargoyle, or demon as he says he […]
