Were you on tenterhooks at the end of Firelight by Sophie Jordan? With that cliffhanger ending I was DYING to see what would happen. Whereas Firelight laid out the foundation for the world of the draki, humans who shapeshift into dragons, Vanish spends little time on exposition, instead diving right into explosive action from the start including a HUGE reveal […]
The Vespertine by Saundra Mitchell Book Review
July 17, 2011
Apparently being ‘ruined’ in the 1800s is kind of a big deal since I guess as a female your self worth revolved around your virginity, and if that ship had sailed, well you were screwed literally out of making a good match.

The Last Unicorn by Peter S. Beagle Graphic Novel Review
July 14, 2011
The Last Unicorn by Peter S. Beagle illustrated by Renae De Liz and Ray Dillon is a beautiful rendered adaptation of the original fantasy classic. This graphic novel uses Beagle’s words, however, in an abridged format, so the original text isn’t presented in entirety, but if it was then I guess this would be the illustrated edition and not graphic novel which is a whole new awesome medium for the story. Yet the original meaning of The Last Unicorn is retained.

Supernaturally by Kiersten White Book Review
July 11, 2011
Kiersten White has got the magic in her. From the opening page to the hilariously worded acknowledgments, White has recaptured the joy brought by Paranormalcy in Supernaturally. Evie is no longer working for IPCA, instead she is living life as a human in Lend’s hometown. To be honest, I pretty much forgot everything from Paranormalcy, but Supernaturally quickly […]
