A Blog for Books and Thoughtful Ramblings
Warning: it ends in a cliffhanger. A huge one. I got to the last page and was furiously trying to get the next page and was wondering if my ARC was defective and missing a chapter or a page or a paragraph. It just ended with so much left open ended. It explained a little... Continue Reading →

OMG!!! I loved it! Best book in the series since The Winter Long. To be honest I wasn’t sure what to think going into this. The blurb didn’t excite me. Gillian being kidnapped again and Tybalt taking off didn’t sound appealing. The plot tied things together and brought issues to light in such a good way despite the... Continue Reading →
This is my favorite book by Juliette Cross. It was much better than I thought it would be. I love angels and demons stories. Anya was an angel on a mission to find the archangel Uriel.

It took a while for me to get into it and to get to the satisfying ending. The first quarter of the book was one action scene after another. It took... Continue Reading →

If you’re one of those great reviewers, you are supposed to use meaningful quotes, take notes, and provide a witty, entertaining recap. I’m an emotional reader. I don’t have time for notes, and I’m a crappy writer.... Continue Reading →
Some things about this book were so good and others, well, not so much. I wanted to like this more than I did. It didn’t take long to get into the story. Winter was lasting longer and longer every year. Crops were failing. The Staryk came with their magic when the snow came and stole... Continue Reading →
