My mom doesn’t normally do urban fantasy or paranormal romance, so the fact that she decided to even try this series says something. ![]() ![]() So, if I was so opposed to various aspects of this book, why on earth did I pick it up? Because my mom told me to. Furthermore, it involves one of my least favorite tropes: the dreaded love triangle, or in this case, a love square. Bland, right? Also, it sounded like a really weird blend of commonly used tropes, such as the combination of vampire hunters and inter-dimensional travel. She would probably benefit from a hair tie or a headband. There is wind coming from somewhere, blowing said chick’s hair across her face. First of all, the cover just was not appealing to me. This is not a book I would have ever picked up on my own. ![]() ![]() It's about a group of 5th graders, 3 boys and 1 girl, who become friends with an old lady in town. That major issue aside, I did like the story and the characters. I just felt the author was thisclose to mentioning that she felt her slanty eyes. She doesn't have a mirror, so she feels her face and guesses that she is Asian. In an even worse example, when the main characters take a magic candy that is supposed to temporarily change their ethnicity as a way to disguise them, one girl becomes Chinese. From the start he unnecessarily describes non-white characters by their race. ![]() However, one thing will keep me from being able to recommend this title to others: the author's use of race. ![]() I absolutely loved the colorful, glittery cover, and the premise seemed like such fun. I wanted to love this book from the very beginning. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This gripping collection is aimed at readers who like horror and thriller novels, also perfect for fans of the popular movie and TV adaptations. Follow the story of Hannibal Lecter, a sinister cannibal serial killer who committed unspeakable crimes.

No corpse, no trace, no next of kin! They have just vanished by leaving so many conspiracy theories behind.Īs soon as five members of documentary crew arrived the village, they realize something is wrong with this place. ![]() Its 877 residents had disappeared into thin air. Everything about this book intrigued me: one haunted, abandoned, deserted town named Silvertjarn. ![]() It is outstandingly exciting, terrifying paranormal, horror novel that you don’t want to stop reading and you cannot put down even though you forget the iron plugged in and you can smell the smoke coming from your kitchen at the same time. Such a delicious, blood freezing, unputdownable combination: intense, gory, depressingly dark Scandinavian horror elements dances with a story reminds us of Blair Witch Project and Stand ( without apocalypse but insane leader and his batshit worshippers theme) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It's funny the way life circles back to you. I started the book before going to bed thinking it would help calm my nerves before the exam and help me fall asleep… Oh, I had to force myself to part from this book at 2am - not because I was tired (Fangirl made me feel alive) but because I couldn’t possibly think straight if I didn’t go to sleep right then and there. Of course, I couldn’t tame the temptation of starting this book even though I was a week before an important exam… This perfectly mirrors my experience of reading Fangirl back in January 2014 for the first time, also known as the night before my math exam. Landline was a recent favorite for all the introverts seeking love. And even more reviews of Rowell's other books. ![]() ![]() I mean, I have two reviews up on my blog where I talk all about my love for these characters: Why I Fangirl over Rainbow Rowell’s Fangirl (Spoilers: Levi) & Review: Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell. I thought it was going to be like having fanart of all my favorite scenes. This is the closest I might get to that wish. Nothing might top the excitement I felt before opening this illustrated adaptation of my favorite book. Prepare for an epic Battle of the Books in this review of Fangirl VS Fangirl, vol. I'm going to start with an alarming statement: This adaptation was making me hate my all-time favorite book. ![]() ![]() ![]() What's an heir to the royal throne to do?
