Tag: 2 Stars
Inferno by Dan Brown
It took me about a million years to read Inferno because most of it was just so darn boring. For the first half of the book, the problem is that Robert and Sienna (his female companion for most of the book) are running away from […]
Dualed by Elsie Chapman
The first few chapters of this book blew me away. Like, blew my life to bits. The intensity, the devastation, the near-tears reaction, the morally questionable assassination… I got so wrapped up in the story and the kick-ass-ness that I think I lost my sanity […]
The Cadet of Tildor by Alex Lidell
The Cadet of Tildor was a big disappointment for me. I wanted a kickass girl power book with a steamy hot romance that defied the world and Graceling-esque epicness. But I got none of that. And at the end of the day, Renee didn’t even […]
Lies Beneath by Anne Greenwood Brown
This book is what you get when you mix mermaids with vampires. The idea of deadly, killer mermaids is awesome! It’s a cool twist that I enjoyed. But I wish the author went further into the mermaid lore. Where do they come from? How do […]
Prophecy by Ellen Oh
Propecy, Prophecy, Prophecy. How do I review you? As for my rating, I was constantly juggling between 2 stars, 3 stars, then 2.5 stars.. I thought I had settled on 2.5, but then after I wrote my review, I decided to change it to 2. […]
Prison Nation by Jenni Merritt
I really wanted to enjoy this book because I love the idea of it, but I just kept waiting for that moment when it would get good, and it never came. It wasn’t really horrible, but it never got interesting; it never piqued my interest; […]
Just for Now by Abbi Glines
Disclaimer: I haven’t read any other books in the Sea Breeze series. Someone told me reading the other books wasn’t necessary to read Just for Now, but maybe not having read the previous books affected my take on the book. Just keep that in mind! […]
Carnival of Souls by Melissa Marr
Sigh. Carnival of Souls was one of my most anticipated reads of the year. I think when I read the blurb I just saw “deadly competition that allows every daimon a chance to join the ruling elite,” and made assumptions. I assumed this was going […]
Point of Retreat by Colleen Hoover
If you read my review of Slammed, you’ll know that I quite enjoyed the book. But I really wish I had just stopped there and savoured my good memories. I did not like Point of Retreat. Throughout the entire book I felt like I was […]
