Hey TM- I'll give you another 5 out of 5 birds for Haelo Hunted the second in your installment. I'm still comparing this series to The Selection serieHey TM- I'll give you another 5 out of 5 birds for Haelo Hunted the second in your installment. I'm still comparing this series to The Selection series because it keeps me coming back for more of that love triangle. This is an indie book (self published) and so it's not exactly what you would see from a publisher currently. What I'm getting at is, this book is clean and innocent- which is rare in the world of books- at least the ones I read. The characters continued to develop and the story kept me coming back enough for the the third book, which I purchased. This is a great teen angst series....more
Hey Hey Victoria! I give you five ghostly birds out of 5. If you want to introduce your middle grader to ghosts without having to pay extra on therapyHey Hey Victoria! I give you five ghostly birds out of 5. If you want to introduce your middle grader to ghosts without having to pay extra on therapy, this is the book to go with. It was never 'scary' but very detailed and gave you that little eerie feeling that most feel while trick or treating, or in my case stealing candy from my children. This was everything I would have loved to read as a child. If you have a reader that's just not interested, try the creepier books, it will hook them. I liked the history throughout this one and the characters. I have the next one on hold at the library! It was a super quick read that had me turning pages. ...more

This is BY FAR my favorite book by you. I give you 5 out of 5 dead possessed birds. Seriously, this was another book that I was hooked within minutes. The idea was fresh, he kept on point, and made it seem absolutely real. Was I freaked? I mean just a little, but it was totally worth it. This is a messed up book that I'm sure I will continue thinking about.... ...more

I felt like this book had intrigue, but I did find myself getting bored occasionally. I didn't love Carolines storyline as much as Nell. I almost wish it wouldn't have had the bounce between... However, I did enjoy the book, it's just not all of what I thought it would be... It was a pretty fast listen, and I was dedicated in finding out what happened in the end. I do love the cover!!...more
Alright Jasmine Guillory, I'll give you 4 out of 5 birds for The Proposal. My friend/neighbor recommended this one. I was hooked within seconds, LITERAlright Jasmine Guillory, I'll give you 4 out of 5 birds for The Proposal. My friend/neighbor recommended this one. I was hooked within seconds, LITERAL SECONDS. I mean there's a huge event in the first few pages that leaves you with your mouth open. I love a good hook. I won't give much away, but I enjoyed the characters and how much they didn't know about themselves. It's definitely a meet cute and love story. Could I have done with a little less sex content? I mean yeah.... it just limits who I can recommend it to. I liked it a lot, but you have been warned ;). ...more
Hey Walter Dean, I'll give you 4 out of 5 birds for Monster. I picked this up after seeing somewhere that it will be made into a movie. I don't say itHey Walter Dean, I'll give you 4 out of 5 birds for Monster. I picked this up after seeing somewhere that it will be made into a movie. I don't say it often, but I think the movie will be better. Only because this entire book is written as if it's a movie script! It was a super quick read, and powerful. It made me think, what would I do as a Jury member on this trial. I was over the moon with the outcome and it was another great book to add to my education when it comes to racial issues. I'd say read it or wait to watch. You do you. ...more

I'll give The Santorium 3 out of 5 cold birds. The idea of this book is SO intriguing. I mean, if this was real- I'd be there in a heartbeat. Is it real? Asking for a friend. Sadly I was bored.... and bored.. and more bored. When I finally got to the like climax I was like, wait what? This was one of Reese Witherspoon's recommendations for her book of the month. I downloaded the app and that's been fun. So overall this just didn't do it for my messed up mind. Such a cool setting and idea but I did not love the characters, and I can't even explain what happened in the epilogue? However, writing a book is hard and I would try another one of Sarah's books. ...more
