A Second Look... for Stephanie's take on The Young Elites, click here! She read it in December; I'm a little behind times and only just now read it.Stephanie mentioned the premise of The Young Elites in her review: a blood fever swept through the country, killing thousands and leaving hundreds of children scarred/marked. The marked children are known as malfettos, and are discriminated against. Some of...
The City by Dean Koontz is one of those rare books that shows us that you can have heartache, conflict, beauty, soul and the paranormal all in one story. Long known and renowned for his work in thrillers and the paranormal Dean Koontz takes this opportunity to give the reader something more.The City is more than just a simple recounting or reenacting of an event. There is plenty of side story given throughout the tale. Fortunately,...
Red Rising is brilliant. I have no clue why I didn't read this book sooner because it's right up my alley. It's a science fiction and a dystopian book at the same time, but it feels like so much more than that. It's also about how deceitful humanity can be, the lies and the control leaders can have over their people if they don't know any better. The book is also about rebellion and the struggle for power, and how a simple dream can become reality,...

How do you get four tales about four women of strength in both the paranormal and the mundane? The easy answer is you bring together such powerhouses in the genre as Ilona Andrews, Yasmine Galehorn, Allyson James and Jeanne C. Stein and let them enthrall you with tales about some of their best known characters. This seems to have bee the plan for the anthology Hexed.Even though many of these stories are part of established...

When I think about Richelle Mead, I think about her Vampire Academy series. The Glittering Court couldn't be more different than her breakout series but these new characters and new settings are as colourful and imaginative. Richelle Mead is really on to something with this series because I was hooked right from the beginning, despite a few lulls here and there.In a parallel universe that is very similar to ours, the setting is a Victorian-like...

I mentioned last week that I was reading this book, and that I thought it was really cool and unique- especially the "whalish" language. I finished the book and it lived up to it's expectations 100%!Ice Whale tells the stories of a bowhead whale, Siku, and an Eskimo family. The story begins in 1848, when a young Eskimo boy, Toozak, witnesses a whale being born. This is really, really rare. (In fact, it is only in the last...
Alight is the second book in the Generations Trilogy by Scott Sigler. In this review, I will likely bring up points about plot points both crucial and obscure, otherwise known as spoilers. If you have not started reading this series but, intend to, I suggest you come back once you have read the first book. If you're not sure you want to start this series, check out my review of Alive by Scott Sigler.We first met the main characters,...
I love a good time-travelling romance so when I read the synopsis of this book, I was definitely intrigued. There's just something romantic about finding love through time, although in this case, it's a little bit different, but still very interesting.Quite honestly, I was a little bit confused for the majority of the first quarter of the book. It probably has something to do with the fact that I did not read the first book of this series, and Reid's...

Hello all! I have, unfortunately, not finished a sci-fi/fantasy book this week to share with you. I am, however, in the midst of two! May I tell you about them, and about how they are going so far? Then you can have a full review from me next Thursday! (In my defense, I am quite pregnant. I may not have finished a book, but I have finished a nursery.)First book: Ice Whale by Jean Craighead George. This...
