I very much enjoyed this book.

This was lovely in a way I'd forgotten words could be lovely.

I was really excited to read this book but then it just seemed to drag on and on and on. I found myself skimming a lot of parts. I enjoyed Cress as a character, but wasn't too convinced by her journey. Let's hope the next installment is better.

A funny zombie book with an awesome narrator. I'll probably be checking out the rest of this series.

Pleasantly surprised by this one. It was a lot better than I thought it would be given the fact that I got it free as a part of the Amazon First promotion. There was a lot of heart and dysfunction in this book. Very reminiscent of the type of people I encounter every day.

This book was very average. For some reason I couldn't get into the world that Jacob discovers. I found myself skimming some parts and wanting it to end quickly. Although the idea of the book being crafted from those found photos was cool in theory, in practice I found the photos distracting. Especially since I was reading this book in a couple different places. One of which was the smaller screen of my phone. Overall, decent book but I won't be rushing to read the next installment.

This book had a lovely ending.

This was definitely an interesting, but long read. World building is a funny thing because in establishing the plot its very easy to lose a reader in the details. That's what happened here, especially during the first 200 or so pages of the book. I wanted something to happen, but the author was busy world building or setting up characters to move the plot forward. Once the action happened, it was grotesque and nonsensical at times, but well worth the wait. Released around the same time as The Hunger Games, Gone went where The Hunger Games seemed scared to go. Mass death of children, truly sociopathic characters, egotism running rampant, and answering the question of what really happens when you leave a bunch of reckless kids in a society with no adults. Fans of I Am Number Four, The Hunger Games, dystopia, or fantasy novels will have their hands full with this one if they can manage to get past some of the dryer chapters.

For some reason I have a weakness for those with stories set in Georgia.

Not as great as the Parasol Protectorate series, but still a fairly fun read.

I love when a series has a satisfying ending.

Much better than Blameless. I tend to enjoy when Alexia and Connall are on the same team. The action and mystery of this novel was way more intriguing and I like the evolved back story of several of our major players coming to a head. Really enjoyed this installment.

Although a little bit slower paced than the first two a very enjoyable read and great addition to the series.

I really enjoy this series :).

Not impressed with this one. She really needs to end this series.

Honestly, one of the most consistently satisfying dystopian/apocalyptic trilogies I've read in a while. It's always nice to see an author who manages to keep their characters acting as their supposed to and has a believable couple who goes through ups and downs and solves them without resorting to played out young adult tropes. Also, hooray for feminism!! Some of Deuce's lines have me excited for girls to read this book and finally start seeing themselves as the strong, independent people that they can be in spite of a man, instead of because of one. I will definitely be checking out more of her books.

Really enjoyed this book. Deuce and Fade are probably my favorite dystopian/apocalypse couple. Also love all of the feminism that is in this book. Great read.

Another dystopia. This time a virus wipes out a majority of the population creating zombies and forcing the poor underground and the rich folks north. I enjoyed this. Pretty quick read.

Pretty simplistic overview of how the end of the world began.

I've read a lot of concluding books in the past few months that have all disappointed me in one way or another. this one, thankfully, did not. I'm sad to see Day and June's saga come to an end, but it was a well executed one.

On to the next one...this one was a little drawn out and had some pacing issues, but overall a good installment in this series.

This was a pretty quick read started on an hour long commute to work, and then completed in an hour and a half sitting at home. I wanted to love this book because I adored Garcia's contribution to the Caster Chronicles. This is not a bad start of a series, but like many have probably noticed this is a essentially Supernatural (the CW show) with a female lead and twin brothers with their own version of Bond's Q. The book got a little monotonous as well: search ghost infested house, kill big bad, gain mark of destiny, and then rinse and repeat. The surprise at the end didn't do much to save the story for me. I'll read the next installment, but I won't be rushing to my kindle app to buy it as soon as it comes out.

Oh dear. This is good. Started a little bit slow, and I hate Richelle Mead's habit of explaining a little bit too much about events that happened in the previous stories, but it ended well enough. I'm not sure whose team I'm on when it comes to Rose's love life, but I know the next book will provide some interesting enough intrigue.

Why can't there be a happy ending?

Very quick read, about two hours. I really liked this book and I'm looking forward to continuing the series.
