The Hunter's Moon by O. R. Melling

Hey everyone I hope you are well. This week I read a bunch of books at once since I had a bit of spare time. Although, to be completely honest, I wish I didn't read this book. It wasn't that it was a really bad book but it was just such a waste of my time to finish that it would have been better if I had just left it for another week or two. I always find it hard to get into a Faerie story because there are just so many of them out there and they all have the same sort of feel to them. This one just might have been too different in culture for me to really enjoy it. Let me tell you about it: Gwen and her cousin have planned to go backpacking in Ireland for the summer without telling their parents so they can see the world. What Gwen doesn't know is that a man has come to her cousin before she arrived and set in motion a series of events that will change both of their lives forever. While camping illegally one night her cousin is swept away by the King of faeries to ...

The Iron King by Julie Kagawa

Hey everyone, another great week I hope! This week I read a book series (yes the entire series) called the Iron Fey series, starting with this book here The Iron King. I absolutely loved this series, because the author wrote so clearly, so fluently, and so amazingly that for a time I forgot I was reading and I thought I WAS the character of this book.  Megan lives an interesting life, though she only has one friend, Robby, she still finds comfort in her small family. Even though her step dad doesn't seem to remember that she exists, her younger step brother loves her and her mom takes good care of her. But as her birthday approaches Megan starts seeing people in the woods, and Robby starts acting funny. When her brother disappears and then reappears acting strange, she wants to figure things out. But she doesn't expect what she gets. Robby is actually the infamous Robin Goodfellow from the old tails, and has been watching over her since she was a child and mak...

Paranormalcy by Kiersten White

Good day to you, my fellow readers. I have just been informed that there is a possibility that this book, Paranormalcy, will be being made into a movie. So, in light of the good news, I thought I would give a review to the book, even though I read it a year or two ago. I loved the book, and I loved the cover, and best of all, it is a trilogy, my favourite! Evie is your everyday teenager living in a secret lab that deals with Paranormals. What are Paranormals you might ask? Well, a paranormal are anything from vampires to ghosts, to anything that isn't classified as 'human'. This lab hunts down rogue paranormals and 'tags' them, and then gives them jobs where they can live their lives and not have to pose a danger to the humans. Now, Evie is basically human, but she is special in a few ways. One, she can see past the glamour of paranormals and can see what they really are when they are trying to hide. Two, she seems to have captured the attention of one of the ...

Wings by Aprilynne Pike

Ok, so here is another great book, first in the Wings series, that I recon is worth a shot! I did not want to originally read this book, but one of my oldest friends read it and I would be damned if she would read a book that I would not. And I truly liked it! So much so that I went out the next day and bought the rest in the series. I have done the review for a later book in this series a few years ago here on the blog, but I thought that now would be a good chance to do the first book considering how long it has been. So, let's get to it. Meet Laurel, who has just moved to a new town with her family. She is having trouble making friends at school, mainly because she would prefer to be outside most of the time than inside where she feels secluded. She is a vegetarian, and mostly eats fruits. She makes friends with a boy named David, who helps her unlock the secret to her past, even though he has no idea he is doing it.  One day she finds a bad spot on her back, and wit...

Faeries Path by Frewin Jones

Hello again everyone! It is Monday which means it is time to upload a review on my latest book series!!!!! This week I set out to read the Faerie Path, an odd book with many ups and downs. All in all it wasn't all that bad a book, but in the end I don't know if I would read the next book in the series. I suppose I will, only because the story isn't quite complete, but if it doesn't get better I'm done. So we meet Anita, who is about to turn sixteen and is going to tell the boy of her dreams that she loves him. But the day before her birthday her and the boy Ethan get into an accident and they end up in the hospital for a few days. When Anita is allowed to see Ethan again he is gone, and no one can find him. To add to all the craziness in her life she had a weird dream where she grew wings, that might not have been a dream to begin with. And to add onto that, she receives a mysterious parcel with a weird diary in it from an unknown source. Soon she is pulled ...
