The next best thing to playing a rpg with friends. Probably a little better, depending on those friends. (0 more)
I find my self yelling at the players while driving. (0 more)
Ok I'm a little obsessed
I was introduced to the glass cannon by a friend who gets to play pathfinder and DnD way more than me. Ok I haven't played in over a decade but I've been wanting to play again. I started listening to this when I was in between audio books and to play vicariously since I lack the friends. I started at the beginning (which is way back) listening during my commute and became quickly hooked. I've burned through 65+ episodes in just a month or so and I'm now adding cannon fodder to that commute list. I love the story telling and game play that I've missed out on by not playing for so many years! It has inspired me to play again and I am even starting to GM myself one campaign with my family and one with some of my students. Im sure i will get caught up in now time at this rate. Its been so fun geeking out with people I've never met.

Before I Fall is a very emotional read. I was not expecting to like this book for some reason, but, like for all of Lauren Oliver's books, I loved it. I took a long time to actually read this book, not because I didn't want to, but because I didn't know if I would like this kind of story. But alas, I did.

Like most of the other books I have read so far this year, I listened to the audiobook. (Still no new glasses yet) The reading was very well done!

I loved the characters, even if some of them got annoying at times. The main character, Sam, was really compelling. I liked how she was able to change so much and be able to help people even if she was super shallow at the beginning. It was nice to see.

The only thing I want to know is how this happened to her. What was the driving force to make her relive the same day? What deemed whether she was worthy or not to be able to move on to whatever comes next?

Overall, I really enjoyed this book!

Defiance is the first book in The Wolfborne Saga and you get a very different take on vampires and werewolves! It starts with Zev escaping in wolf form, from who or what you don't know. It's a close call though, nearly his last call, but he is saved by a young man driving a car. This opens up a whole sort-of-new life for those Zev meets and for him himself.

This was brilliantly written, with plenty of world-building and information given without it being an info-dump. There is definitely character growth from Zev but the others are just as interesting.

As the first book in a series you expect to get a lot of the ground-work, sometimes to the detriment of the story. Not so here. Ms. Alsop has provided a great start and I am looking forward to the next book in the series. Definitely recommended by me.

* A copy of this book was provided to me with no requirements for a review. I voluntarily read this book, and the comments here are my honest opinion. *
