Sam rated a book 4 of 5 stars
Spirit by Brigid Kemmerer
Spirit (Elemental, #3)
by Brigid Kemmerer (Goodreads Author)
read in April, 2013
There’s something quite distinctly addictive about this series. Brigid Kemmerer’s sharp and straight-forward style works wonderfully for her characters, and even better for the reader. While the plot could benefit from some added complexity, the Merr...more

School Spirits by Rachel Hawkins
School Spirits (School Spirits, #1)
by Rachel Hawkins (Goodreads Author)
read in April, 2013
3.5 stars

Despite the slight character and plot clichés, the Hex Hall trilogy has always been a firm favourite of mine. Rachel Hawkins’ witty style is irresistibly good – so much so that turning a blind eye on some of the weaker aspects of her books i...more

Dare You To by Katie McGarry
Dare You To (Pushing the Limits, #2)
by Katie McGarry (Goodreads Author)
read in March, 2013
“We all have our fears. Those things that exist in the dark corners of our minds that terrify us beyond belief.”

Angst-filled contemporary novels are hardly my favourite thing, yet there is something quite indefinably addictive about Katie McGarry’s...more

Icons by Margaret Stohl
Icons (Icons, #1)
by Margaret Stohl (Goodreads Author)
read in April, 2013
2.5 stars

Icons is exactly the sort of book that is just a little too late. Despite its flaws (and believe me, there are several), there is enough basic potential for the concepts here to excite and demand attention. Unfortunately for Icons (and Marga...more

The End Games by T. Michael Martin
The End Games
by T. Michael Martin
read in April, 2013
3.5 stars

End-of-the-world stories are nothing new, especially not those of the zombie-apocalypse variety. Insert a deadly virus or contagion and we're still talking about roughly several dozen other books. No part of me expected The End Games to be o...more

Reboot by Amy Tintera
Reboot (Reboot, #1)
by Amy Tintera (Goodreads Author)
read in April, 2013
3.5 stars

“Humans had a brightness to them, a glow that only death extinguished.”

Amy Tintera’s Reboot is, in some ways, fairly original. Instead of your typical, run-of-the-mill zombies, we have Reboots, humans aged 20 or under that are rebooted to l...more
