A Little Less Firefly, A Little More Jurassic Park
In the second novel, the characters start to come into their own a little, instead of being Firefly knockoffs. The story is very much a Firefly meets Jurassic Park, with wizards. The editing was a little better in this book. There weren't any major noticeable typos (that I caught).

Action packed thriller
This book was amazing! Not since Jack Reacher and Vanessa “Michael” Munro has there been a character like Eva Driscoll. This novel was an action packed page turner that I could not put down. I can’t wait to find out what else is in store for her and for us!

This was a very well written coming of age novel which deals with many heavy issues through the perspective of three friends. The characters were likable and also elicited sympathy. Anyone who has had that awkward phase or experinced a traumatic event can relate to at least one of these characters. The way they intertwine and grow is an inspiration.

I love Karin Slaughter novels and this one did not disappoint!
Her books are gripping, full of emotion and the intensity begins with the opening chapter and doesn’t let go until the end.
This is a stand alone novel and I read it in two sittings.
Thank you NetGalley for providing me with the opportunity to read and review this book.

I am not a big romance novel reader, especially Harlequin Romance, but this story was good. The inspiration series was not that bad. I liked the story a lot. Seemed more real, seemed like the guy was respectful of woman and treated them with respect and kindness instead of dragging them off to who knows where and take advantage of them.

This was a chilling read. Kept the suspense all the way through. Throughout the novel, however, it became predictable as to what would happen. A lot of horror troupes found themselves repeated. There is a lot more to this book than what is presented on the surface. If you're a fan of gothic horror, give this one a shot.

**WaterSnakes is NOT for kids!!** Wow. This story is like a trippy nightmare! It's so odd, out-there, dark, and imaginative. WaterSnakes is a graphic novel that looks like a long picture book. It's even picture book sized (the hardcover). The art is both cute and beautiful. You will go right along with Mila throughout her dream...if it even was a dream.
Erika (17789 KP) rated Beautiful Creatures (Caster Chronicles, #1) in Books

This is one of those YA novels that I wish I'd have never paid full price for... The premise was predictable, and eye-roll inducing. The one thing I remember is how much I hated the writing.
The movie is actually better than this novel. I suggest skipping the book and just watching the movie with the kid that plays young Han Solo.

I received a copy of Parable of the Sower from Abrams ComicArts through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
Parable of the Sower is one of my favorite books and it translates really well to the graphic novel format. I loved Lauren's journal entries.
This is such an important story and I'm thrilled at the idea of it finding a wider audience.

Humorous
Even death messes with Dresden.
This is much more light hearted than the previous novel. (if you haven't read side jobs I highly suggest you do before reading this book. or at least read the short story Aftermath.) I laughed so much. plus you get to meet new people and learn more about a few side characters (such as Morty).
