REVIEW: Death Sworn by Leah Cypess

JiaB ReviewsAssassin / Fantasy / Harper-Teen / mages / Young-Adult7 Comments

Dear Ms. Cypess, I’ve been wandering in a traditional fantasy wasteland these past few months. Sad words coming from someone who used to read only that genre.

Dear Ms. White, Despite hearing good things about your Paranormalcy trilogy, I haven’t had the chance to pick them up yet. My paranormal weariness usually results in my passing over books in favor of something fresh and new (to me). But when I heard that you were writing a thriller ... more >

REVIEW: Grave Mercy by Robin LaFevers

JennieC ReviewsAssassin / Fantasy / Young-Adult20 Comments

Dear Ms. LaFevers, One advantage of being offered books for review is that it has made me more adventurous as a reader. Even reading a bad book has some value to me if I can get a review out of it, so it’s not as much of a risk for ... more >
