Review: The One (The Selection#3) by Kiera Cass
Ratings: ★★★★☆
This book started off terribly but got progressively better in the middle, and then went spiraling downhill again in the end. In fact, up until reading the very last chapters, I was ready to give this book four stars–it was even better than The Elite–and I hadn’t been expecting that–but then Kiera Cass had to ruin it with a loosely tied plot.
The Writing: The writing was just as good as the other two books, except that in The One, it was a lot less predictable and a lot more entertaining than in The Elite and in The Selection. Once again, Kiera Cass had me Continue reading “Review: The One (The Selection#3) by Kiera Cass”
Review: The Elite (The Selection#2) By Kiera Cass
Ratings: ★★★☆☆
I have to thank shinichimegumi123 from When Curiosity Killed The Cat for encouraging me to continue with this series, because it did get better, just like she promised it would. Many of the problems I had with the first book The Selection were fixed here, and while this is still not the best book I have ever read, I definitely enjoyed reading The Elite much more than I enjoyed reading The Selection.

Review: The Selection (The Selection#1) by Kiera Cass
Ratings: ★★☆☆☆
Oookay…where do I start?
I have a love/hate relationship with this book and at the moment I’m leaning towards hate, because even though this book was very well written and works great as a romance novel, in the beginning it promises to be something more than a mere love story, despite what the blurb and the trailer (check it out here) says. And yet, by the time I was done, I realized it had failed to deliver.

Review: Tandem (Many-Worlds Trilogy#1) By Anna Jarzab
Ratings: 5/5 stars ★★★★★
Parallel universes? That is so Fringe.
I am a huge fan of science fiction–fringe science–in particular, which covers everything from teleportation to reanimation to mind reading to…yep, you guessed it…parallel universes. It’s a concept I am very familiar with, and I also know the main theory behind it so of course, when I heard of Anna Jarzab’s Tandem, I instantly wanted to read it.

Review: For Darkness Shows The Stars by Diana Peterfreund
Ratings: 3/5 stars ★★★☆☆
Diana Peterfreund presents you Jane Austen’s Persuasion…with a twist!!
That was my initial reaction, but as it turns out, this book is not as terrible as I thought it would be.
Before I get into this review, let me make it clear that I am a huge Jane Austen fan. That being said, Persuasion is the only book by Jane Austen Continue reading “Review: For Darkness Shows The Stars by Diana Peterfreund”
