Yz the Whyz (whyz) | 9327 comments I finished Poison Princess (The Arcana Chronicles, #1) by Kresley Cole last November 7. Even though I'm a big fan of Kresley Cole, I can only give this book 3 stars. I'm not really impressed with Evie and at the end of the story, I just felt 'meh'. Might pick up the 2nd book later, but i'm in no rush.

that is exactly how I felt. I just didn't feel as connected with that story. Evie needed a smack on the butt so she can toughen up, though Jackson's verbal smackdowns were excessive

I finished reading Etiquette & Espionage by Gail Carriger and really enjoyed it! This was the first book I'd read by this author and I enjoyed the victorian steampunk setting. I will definately be reading more by her! 5 Stars!

Randi | 119 comments Tangled Beauty by K.L. Middleton

I'll give this a 4 star. I enjoyed the book as it has humorous moments in this. I love the idea of a curvy woman going as a gay friend's "girlfriend" to fool the parents for his sake and fell in lust with his brother, who is newly engaged to a supermodel. Quick read!

Yz the Whyz (whyz) | 9327 comments I finished When It Rains (Rain, #1) by Lisa De Jong last Dec. 6 and was pleasantly surprised. Highly readable, very poignant and will stay with you for a while after you finished reading. 5 stars.


Kay   ✾◕ ‿ ◕✾  (kaytheserialreader) | 94 comments Read When It Rains. I can't like the girl. I think she's insensitive and selfish despite the author's effort to make me understand her actions for what she went through. 2 stars.

I've had this one for a long time but never really had a challenge that would "force" me to finally read it. I think the time has finally come to get to it so it's good to know you liked it :P

I thought it was a 3.75-ish story, but I enjoyed it but it was lacking a little something.
The sequel was disappointing.
