Astarte’s Wrath is perfect for any huge Egyptian mythology buffs. Riddled with war, chaos, history, and mythology, this book is intense, full of action, and tragic. It takes place during the Battle of Actium (between Octavian of Rome and Cleopatara of Egypt) so it’s safe […]
Strands of Bronze and Gold was written well and certainly had interesting elements, but unfortunately the majority of the book was boring. The problem is that once Sophia arrives at the Abbey, Bernard doesn’t let her go anywhere or do anything. As such, 95% of […]
What initially turned me onto Rouge is how much it sounded like the movie Moulin Rouge. If you’re not a fan of strong similarities, then I probably wouldn’t recommend this book, just because they are so similar. But I personally really like sticking to things […]
I have read no other book like Monstrous Beauty. We have mermaids, ghosts, history, lineage, love, heartbreak, and a fascinating story with multiple characters whose lives, deaths, and fates are all intertwined. I love how Monstrous Beauty is told in two different time periods: modern […]
I was terrified going into Falling Kingdoms. It’s marketed as being great for fans of George R.R. Martin. Unfortunately, I don’t like Martin’s books. I know what you’re thinking: “You don’t like A Song of Ice and Fire???” I’m afraid not, folks. I love the […]
Blackwood was an engaging and fast paced read! Gwenda Bond does a great job of holding back just enough information to keep the reader engaged and ready for more. The book is made up of playful language that puts the reader on the same level […]
My Review If Scorpio Rising was good, The Sting of the Scorpio was AMAZING! The first book tells the story of two kids growing up and trying to make their ways in the world. This second book tells an equally intriguing story, but also deals […]
My Review This is an incredibly fast-paced book that tells the story of Alex Ivanov and Brigitte Dartois — two different people in two different parts of the world. They both start out with rough lives, but constantly work hard and their ambitions pay off. […]
When I found this book and read the plot summary, my first thought was “Holy crap! It’s like Spartacus/Gladiator for girls!” Awesome! Since Spartacus is one of my favourite TV shows and Gladiator is an epic film, I had high hopes for this book. But […]
Plot Summary My review After hearing all the rave reviews, I actually thought I would love this book more than I did. I still really enjoyed the book (hence the four stars), I just wasn’t “Z0MG CRAZY” about it. I suppose my biggest gripe is […]
