Shaedes of Gray by Amanda Bonilla
December 19, 2011

REVIEW: Shaedes of Gray by Amanda Bonilla

JiaC- ReviewsAssassin / djinn / Paranormal / Seattle / Signet / Urban-Fantasy24 Comments

Dear Ms. Bonilla, If there’s one character type I love seeing, it’s assassins. Especially female assassins. I could probably stand to see less redheaded assassins though.

JiaB- Reviewsangels / Assassin / Paranormal / road trip / Young-Adult3 Comments

Dear Ms. Weatherly, I’ve become rather selective when it comes to urban fantasy, even in the young adult genre. It’s just that there’s so much of it these days that if I don’t, I’d end up buried under a pile of books until well into the next decade. I’m also ... more >

REVIEW: White Cat by Holly Black

JiaB Reviewsamnesia / Assassin / brothers / con-artist / family relationships / mafia / Magic / Young-Adult18 Comments
