I liked this book for the dystopian element, I disliked it for the silly teenaged angst (yes it is a YA book, I should have expected) I hated it in its treatment of rape ...the why didn't you fight them attitude....and befriending the rapist because boys gotta do what's necessary and he has learn...
Sooooo.... I dropped a star from the previous two books. This one just had too much graphic violence for me. I got pretty tired of the battle yuck! I absolutely HATED when a certain character, whose name I will not divulge for the sake of not spoiling the book, died! I was a little shocked by tha...
This is the third installment of the Razorland series. Deuce and Fade have left Sanctuary to find help from the approaching Horde of Freaks at other settlements. On there return they find Sanctuary is under full attack. After rescuing as many as possible, they bring their people to a new settleme...
3 1/2 I see why all the love. Nice heroine, human without uber powers, rare yes, but still purely human in her weaknesses. I am probably one of the few readers who's actually happy she's not going back to her ex. I wonder what went wrong along the 5 book series. Many friends have DNF it, some re...
Sirantha Jax is tasked with going to Ithtor to try to convince the insect-like race to ally with the Conglomerate against the Morgut, who are attacking Conglomerate outposts and murdering everyone. The Ithtorians have isolated themselves against everyone, but agreed to the visit by Jax and her p...
When I picked this up I didn't realize it was in the middle of a series, and then I was on an airplane so I was stuck with it.The story was fine, but somewhat abrupt without the history with the characters. I will say that it's a female lead (although I think the cover artist got her all wrong, ...
I really enjoyed this book. I loved the progress of Nadia and Ty's relationship, and Nadia just as a protagonist. She was smart and kind and not the least bit annoying, which is huge for a new adult protagonist. The writing was good. Def not Ann's best but not bad for new adult. This was what I r...
I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about this book, as it's a bit out of my normal preferred genres--I don't read much straight-up science fiction at all.But, it showed up as a recommendation on amazon, and after reading the preview at GR, I decided to give it a shot.I was so glad I did. I rea...
Ann Aguirre never fails to amaze me with her ability to take me deep into the heart of the story. I swear that I feel everything her characters feel even if they aren’t the narrator of the story. Hell Fire is just another of Aguirre’s success stories. I loved Corine, Chance and Jesse from Blue Di...
This one really put me down. It gets one star because the head character is really annoying, and the ending to this suck, IMHO. I'm not going to continue reading this series, most of the time I try to finish series I start reading, but this one I just didn't like that much, and a lot of it is bec...
I enjoyed this enough to read it twice. The blend of natural and supernatural made it easy to accept the supernatural aspects of the story. The main character was easy to relate with. After reading this I read the next 3 books in the series in quick succession and was disappointed that I would ha...
Wow. This book definitely rivals the first one of this series. It is beautifully written with an amazing focus on politics without disregarding the consequences of it all to our main characters. The plot is creative, rich and so complex. More amazing was how our Jax managed to navigate such a min...
This is one of my favourite books of the series and in particular I loved the insight into Ithtorians as a culture and in particular to Vel as Jax's friend. I loved the way in which relationships grew, changed, were damaged and not easily repaired. I loved the continued reinforcement of the impor...
This is a pretty good book--urban fantasy isn't my favorite but I enjoy the discovery of magic that the main character goes through. I would label this a 3.75. I felt like even though the character is going through so much stuff she actually keeps her cool the whole time. I haven't read all the b...
Look, at least part of this is my own fault because I didn't realise this book was part of a series when I borrowed it from the library. So I had no idea who the characters were, what their history was, and what their motivations were. As much as it frustrates me when authors like Janet Evanovich...
"As Long As You Love Me" is an appealing and touching New Adult contemporary romance. The second book in author Ann Aguirre's "2B Trilogy" features irresistibly imperfect characters who face very real issues which will resonate with many readers. Lauren Barrett and her best friend, Nadia Conrad, ...
I didn't realize this was the third book in a series when i started it and I had know problem following along because everything in this book is centered around Max and Courtney.These two share an apartment ( though in seperaste bedrooms), and though there have been a few random makeout sessions ...
