Immortal Rider Larissa Ione

REVIEW: Immortal Rider by Larissa Ione

JaneB- Reviewsapocalyptic / demons / enemies to lovers / Hachette/Grand Central / Larissa-Ione / Paranormal12 Comments

Dear Ms. Ione: I haven’t been a faithful follower of the Demonica series, but I’ve read several. Having some knowledge of the world helped ground Immortal Rider but I did wonder whether readers who entered at this book or its predecessor would be a little lost. Immortal Rider is the ... more >

Dear Ms. Graves, Lately I’ve been trying to read more new-to-me authors and when your latest book, “Heartstrings and Diamond Rings” landed in my arc pile, it was fate. I had heard you have a good reputation for humor and this story certainly backs that up. That plus good hero/heroine ... more >

REVIEW: Shut Out by Kody Keplinger

JiaC Reviewsbattle of the sexes / Contemporary / Hachette/Grand Central / high-school / Young-Adult1 Comments

Dear Ms. Keplinger, I read your debut novel, The DUFF, earlier this year. While I didn’t think it was as mindblowing as I was led to believe, I liked it enough to look out for your future books. When I learned your sophomore effort was a retelling of Lysistrata, my ... more >

REVIEW: The Orchard by Theresa Weir

JanetA ReviewsContemporary / Hachette/Grand Central / Memoir / non-fiction19 Comments

Dear Ms. Weir: A while back you posted on Twitter a couple of drawings that your late husband had done, explaining that while he was an accomplished artist, he never felt comfortable thinking of himself that way or having his art made public. At the time I thought it was ... more >
