Goodreads Review: Hush, Hush
Posted by Phoebe | Filed under Uncategorized
Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick My rating: 2 of 5 stars I’ve been mulling over my review for Becca Fitzpatrick’s debut, the paranormal thrillermance Hush, Hush for about a week now. It’s difficult to talk about a book as controversial as this one without at least touching on the politics. But there’s little I can [...]

Goodreads Review: Breaking Dawn
Posted by Phoebe | Filed under Uncategorized
Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer My rating: 1 of 5 stars Ho boy. So I mildly enjoyed the first two books in Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight series–enough that I considered myself somewhat of a Twilight apologist. No, no, I tried to convince the naysayers, she’s really not all bad! Though I found Twilight and New Moon [...]

Goodreads Review: The Forest of Hands and Teeth
Posted by Phoebe | Filed under Uncategorized
The Forest of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan My rating: 3 of 5 stars It’s difficult for me to review Carrie Ryan’s first novel, The Forest of Hands and Teeth objectively–because I can’t help but feel like there were two very different books packed into the volume’s three-hundred-some-odd pages. The first was the delicately [...]

Goodreads Review: The White Queen
Posted by Phoebe | Filed under Uncategorized
The White Queen by Philippa Gregory My rating: 4 of 5 stars I first encountered Philippa Gregory while working in a library. I was desperate for a juicy read, and a co-worker suggested The Other Bolelyn Girl. It definitely pulled me in, and, though I loved it enough to get my mother hooked on Gregory’s [...]

Goodreads Review: Shiver
Posted by Phoebe | Filed under Uncategorized
Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater My rating: 5 of 5 stars I’m a bit surprised by all the reviews that attempt to call-out Maggie Stiefvater’s Shiver as a Twilight rip-off for their superficial similarities. I suppose I shouldn’t be: it’s such a common complaint leveled by Twilight fans of other supernatural romances. And they’re right–Shiver and [...]

Goodreads Review: The Summoning
Posted by Phoebe | Filed under Uncategorized
The Summoning by Kelley Armstrong My rating: 3 of 5 stars Oh, how I wanted to adore Kelley Armstrong’s The Summoning. And, to be fair, there’s a lot to like here between just the cover and the first handful of chapters. Armstrong promises us the dark and alluring story of Chloe Saunders, a fifteen-year-old girl [...]

Goodreads Review: The Passion
Posted by Phoebe | Filed under Uncategorized
The Passion is the final entry in L.J. Smith’s Dark Visions trilogy, and easily the most memorable in the series. The novel begins with the core group of teenage psychics fractured by the departure of psychic vampire Gabriel, but through quick pacing and the inclusion of several strikingly memorable scenes, Smith is able to weather the plot changes to bring the series to its riveting (if tidy) conclusion.

Goodread Review: The Possessed
Posted by Phoebe | Filed under Uncategorized
The Possessed by L.J. Smith My rating: 3 of 5 stars The Possessed, the second volume in L. J. Smith’s Dark Visions trilogy, picks up right where the first left off. Precog Kaitlyn Fairchild has fled the mysterious Zetes Institute along with fellow students Anna, Lewis, Sexy Boy #1 (also known as Rob), and Sexy [...]

Goodread Review: The Strange Power
Posted by Phoebe | Filed under Uncategorized
The Strange Power by L.J. Smith My rating: 4 of 5 stars I’ve written before about my adolescent love for L. J. Smith’s writing, particularly the Night World series. But, even at thirteen, I was never much for vampires. I was always a more fervent fan of her Dark Visions universe, described in a trilogy [...]

Goodread Review: New Moon
Posted by Phoebe | Filed under Uncategorized
New Moon by Stephenie Meyer My rating: 2 of 5 stars Yet another treatise on teenage depression: whereas in Twilight, Stephenie Meyer explored the depression of solitude and fitting in, in New Moon she recounts, with vivid and accurate sharpness, the depression of being dumped. Bella Swan, having been drawn out of her shell by [...]
