Review : Forbidden Mind by Kimberly Kinrade Sam has been waiting her time to turn eighteen and get away from the establishment that has been raising her and renting her out to rich people that need someone that can read minds. Unfortunately, freedom is an empty promise at the facility. This was a good paced book. Everything read really quickly. I think the biggest downfall of this book was that it was over. I felt like there was so much more that needed to be told. I would have liked more put into the story (but that is what sequels are for these days). Compared to some of the books I have read...

Review: Tiger’s Voyage by Coleen Houck Kelsey is caught still trying to forget Ren but cannot. She is in more than a love triangle as every young man on the boat practically is throwing themselves at her. She is trying to find feelings for Kishan, but still loves Ren too much. Oh yeah, and there is still part of the curse to break. This book spent a lot of time focused on the relationships- Kelsey, Ren, Kishan, Texas scuba boy, and Ren’s floozies. It didn’t really get into anything too in depth and Kelsey finally did what Ren wanted, only to find he didn’t really want that. Now she is committed and...

Review: Insurgent by Veronica Roth Tris and Four (now going by Tobias) are left on the run trying to find out what the secret is that caused the two factions to attack the other faction. They know that her former faction was not destroyed just to take over the other groups but for some piece of information. The only questions are: can Tris find the information before the factionless destroy everything and will Tobias trust her and her gut feeling. I would have to say, this book felt a bit slower in pace than the first book. But how could it not be? Divergent was action from start to finish. In this...

Review: The Goddess Test by Aimee Carter Kate makes a promise to save her friends life. She will spend six months a year with Henry, the god of the underworld. She doesn’t know that for almost one hundred years, girls have tried and failed to earn this position, so while she made a promise, she needs to stay alive to fulfill it. This book contained a lot of info, but I found myself feeling like details were missing. The most distracting part of this book was that time passed and relationships formed that you get no hint of happening. Kate holds Ava to be a true friend but we know nothing beyond they...

Review: The Ultimate Sacrifice by Talia Jager Kassia has a special gift: she can kill people with her mind. While she tries to accept the most feared gift, Kassia finds herself on the run with her close friends that are also gifted in other ways. Kassia is wanted by both good and bad as her gift can be used to kill any opponent. Kassia is left with a choice- does she want to help good or evil. While there is a love story within the plot, I found it hard to understand. The characters meet and are instantly together. It was kind of weird. In another part of the story, a character is raped and then...
