Book Review: The Lost Prince (The Iron Fey: Call of the Forgotten #1)
I have to admit that when news first came out Julie Kagawa was planning another series set in the Iron Fey realm, I was worried. Spin-off series don’t always work as well as the original ones (think The Vampire Diaries and The Stefan Diaries spin-off). In rare cases however, spin-offs are even better than the originals, so I kept my fingers crossed. I have to admit that The Lost Prince definitely doesn’t dissapoint. Julie Kagawa creates pure magic by supplying the reader with a new yet famili...

Book Review: Don’t Fear The Reaper (Netherworld #1) by Michelle Muto
Don’t Fear The Reaper was a nice, thought-inspiring surprise. I went in thinking the plot was great, but not expecting all that much – just another paranormal romance novel. Well, I was wrong. This book offers a lot more, both in terms of plot as in characterization. At times, I felt like my heart was going to be ripped right of my chest, that’s how much it hurt to read certain scenes. Obviously a lot of passion and thought went into this book, and it shows. I read the entire book in one nigh...
