Winter by Marissa Meyer
I’ve had a wonderful, wonderful time with Cinder, Scarlet, Cress and Winter, and I’m sad to let them go … but I do have the novellas in Stars Above to look forward to! The idea of blending science fiction, fairy tales, and Sailor Moon may sound odd (I was sceptical at first), but I urge readers to give the series a chance. I don’t think you’ll regret it.
Half Wild by Sally Green
Half Wild is the follow-up to Half Bad. This series follows Nathan Byrn, a half-White and half-Black witch in a world where the two hate each other and don’t usually mix. The fact that Nathan’s father is the most notorious and dangerous Black witch in existence doesn’t help the matter.
Girl Online by Zoe Sugg
Girl Online is a light and fluffy story about a teen girl with an anonymous online blog. I was attracted to it because I ALSO HAVE A BLOG, and I thought there’d be all these amazing moments of connection with Penny. However, Girl Online has a very slow and shaky beginning, and although it does improve eventually, it’s not really the kind of book that I enjoy.
Vampire Academy Re-Read: Vampire Academy
I’m doing a VA re-read with Belle @ Belle’s Bookshelf and Bree @ 1 Girl Too Many Books 🙂 Check out what we had to say about the first book!
Dangerous Creatures by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl
Ridley’s voice is so strong and bratty as she describes her state of mind and the rules she lives by. But you can see, even in the first few pages, that the way she sees herself is changing and that she’s desperately trying to cling onto a persona that might not fit her anymore.
Half Bad by Sally Green
I didn’t go into Half Bad with any preconceived notions about it and was pleasantly surprised by the strong storytelling and characterisation. I think the world needs to be expanded on, but overall, this is an engaging, compelling read.
Cress by Marissa Meyer
Cress was my guilty-pleasure read this weekend. I ignored all the backed up review books (being the horrible person that I am), and snuggled down with it. As with the other two books, I found it really hard to put down Cress and go about my normal life – everything…
Shadow Kiss: The Graphic Novel by Richelle Mead
Shadow Kiss is the third graphic novel adaptation of Vampire Academy, and follows the gang as they get back to school after winter break. The books are getting darker and the stakes (ha!) are higher. As usual, I absolutely love Vieceli’s illustrations, they have a depth to them that never…
Frostbite: The Graphic Novel by Richelle Mead
The second instalment of the graphic novel adaptations of Vampire Academy is just as gorgeous and action packed as the first. Frostbite follows Rose, Lissa and the rest of the gang at a ski resort, where they go for their safety over winter break. Vieceli again masterfully recreates scenes from the…
Vampire Academy: The Graphic Novel by Richelle Mead
I love graphic novels: I think they’re beautiful and give us a lovely visual adaptation of a novel that’s different from a movie. The first Vampire Academy graphic novel tells introduces Rose and Lissa perfectly, and accurately tells the story of the first book. Rose is a damphir – half…
