Review : Inescapable: The Premonition Series by Amy Bartol Evie’s first year in college takes a lot of twists and turns after she meets not only one, but two love interests. While Russel is comfortable and charming, Reed is alluring and hiding answers Evie desperately seeks. As Evie changes, Reed reveals answers – or more so agrees with Evie’s new understanding. But nothing they can do will stop the predictions she has dreamed for months even before she went off to college. This was a well written story that progressed nicely. The plot was easy to follow yet had twists and turns to keep...

Last week I reviewed The Brightest Kind of Darkness by P.T. Michelle and as a follow up here is a short interview with her that she kindly did with me. If you want to know more about P.T. or her books, visit her website at http://www.ptmichelle.com/. How does writing YA fiction compared to what you normally write? YA fiction has a very broad range. I LOVE that freedom. 🙂 Would you want to be able to dream your next day like Nara? I don’t think I’d want to dream my whole next day. I like to live life in the moment, not know about stuff ahead of time, especially if it turns out to be...

Review: Graceling by Kristin Cashore Katsu is graced with killing. A bit of an odd grace for a woman but one that shaped her into the character she was-not what she could become. On an undercover rescue mission, Katsu meets Po, and man graced with fighting. He finally meets his match. Along their adventure to find out why his grandfather was kidnapped, he teaches her more about herself than she could ever have guessed. Out of all the books I have read thus far, this was the catchiest opening. From the start, you jumped into the action and told only bits of the world, enough to take a breath and...

Review : Mortal Obligation by Nichole Chase Ree finds out quickly that her name has more meaning than she could have ever guessed. She is thrown, along with her friends, into the 101th battle between mankind and the Dark Ones that prey upon them. Along with her immortal guardians, Ree must fight the battle to save humans from becoming slaves to the Dark Ones. It took me a while to get into this one. This book was written in third person and most of the books I have read lately are all in first person. The writing style is also a bit different than I am used to and transitioning to third person was a...

Review : Brightest Kind of Darkness by P.T. Michelle Nara has lived her life knowing exactly what her next day will bring- that is- until she decides to change the outcome. Now fate has to try to redo what was meant to happen. Fate does not know that in doing so it pushes Nara closer to Ethan, someone who is almost as different as Nara as he hides his own secrets. From the beginning it had me intrigued. I cannot picture what I would do if I could see the future a day in advance. Nara kept me reading all along wondering what she would do next. Also I am curious to read more and find out more of Ethan’s...
