| Few things before I start this review: the summary lied, at least a bit. One, Jarra never hid at the back of the class--quite the opposite--and even if she did, most of her classmates would still try to interact with and befriend her. Two, the crew i...more | |

| Stung was the only debut novel I was genuinely excited about for 2013. I hoped--no, prayed where this wouldn't be one of those instances where I would be wrong (looking at you, Stormdancer ) and Stung turned out to be not so bad. It's a good first im...more | |

I wish the book focused more on the magic aspect. After all, the title is The Juliet Spell. I didn't expect a sort of contemporary read. There are some interesting parts, but it is a very boring read. The pacing is bad and the downfall of The Juliet S...more |
