Review: Firefight

Firefight by Brandon Sanderson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Yep, still love this book. Sanderson sure knows how to write some fun YA.

Finally time for me to pick up Calamity. I'm so behind on my new releases. I'm so excited about this one. It's going to be... EPIC.

Review: Kiss of Venom

Kiss of Venom by Jennifer Estep
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I'm a little more disappointed in Owen after reading this. Mostly because he knows he's being stupid and is not stepping up and doing something about it. If he's disappointed in himself, he's being silly. Doesn't he realize that the same reason he was able to see the good in Salina (even though it totally got the better of him in her case) is the same reason he is capable of seeing the good in Gin? And since he knows Gin's sins ahead of time and still loves her, doesn't he realize that means it's not the same mistake he made with Salina?

Why are men so stupid? Some of us try to rise above (and don't always succeed), but as a man who likes men, I have to say... men are monumentally stupid sometimes. LOL

Review: Carniepunk: Parlor Tricks

Carniepunk: Parlor Tricks by Jennifer Estep
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I wish this one had been a little longer. I think it could have made a really awesome creepy mystery story for Gin and friends to solve. But it was fun even this short. :)

Review: Deadly Sting

Deadly Sting by Jennifer Estep
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This one was a lot of fun. I really liked that while the supporting characters were a part of the story, we really got a ton of time just us and Gin.

I need Owen to get himself together though. :)

Review: Silver Borne

Silver Borne by Patricia Briggs
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

As always, I love Mercy and her world. This one is no exception. From tricky fae to sexy werewolves, Briggs' world never ceases to entertain.

Review: Night Shift

Night Shift by Charlaine Harris
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

3.5 stars, rounded down

I really like the town of Midnight and its kooky variety of inhabitants... but I needed more from this ending. If this was really the last book in this series, then I'm sorely disappointed. If this was a middle-of-the-series book (which is what it felt like), then I am satisified with that ending... but if this is truly the last one she plans on writing for Midnight, Texas, then she should have worked harder on the ending to provide more closure. All she did was leave a bunch of unanswered questions and a really anti-climactic final few chapters, which is a shame, because these characters deserved better.

Wouldn't be surprised if it comes out that, since this is being made into a TV series, we get another book or two. If so, this I'll change my rating on this one.

Review: Widow’s Web

Widow’s Web by Jennifer Estep
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This one was really good, but really heartbreaking as well.

For Gin, this one had some much more personal stakes than even her fight with Mab.

For the supporting cast, there was some history that never healed and the bandaid was ripped off.

I even pity Salina DuBois, the villain... "Like it or not, sometimes people just get broken, and nothing and nobody will make them whole again."

This series is getting harder and harder not to break schedule and binge!
