Mr. Getaway and the Christmas Elves by Sally Huss

1 star Not a fan of the artwork and I think the whole message of the book was a bit extreme. I understand the intent, but the elves’ storyline was ridiculous. I usually love books that rhyme, but this one felt lazy. Also there wasn’t a very consistent rhythm to the story, which made it…

You are My Pumpkin by Mary Lee

3 stars A very simple book, but a very cute one as well. The pictures are adorable and brought a smile to my face. A sweet little Halloween book great for young children.set to the tune of “You Are My Sunshine”.

See Me by Nicholas Sparks

1 star So I have previously read two of Sparks’ other books and really was not a fan of them. After that I swore off reading more of his work. But I received this book for Christmas last year so I ended up reading it. I have been angrily ranting about it the entire time…

The Skeleton King by Jesse Nethermind

3 stars Overall, this was a good story. The pace was quick and it had a cool plot. It was kind of confusing at times and a bit predictable, but very entertaining. The ending seemed a little rushed and not very well thought out, but overall I liked the book. I enjoy Nethermind’s stories and…

Engella by Paul Ian Cross

4 stars Very cool concept. I really enjoyed this story. The story is well-written, fast-paced, and immediately draws the reader in. I also really liked the artwork. This is a fascinating story with a great ending. Awesome work.

Ella Dethroned by Brandon Barr

3 stars This was a good story overall. I haven’t read anything else in the series, but this prequel was descent. I liked the mashup of medieval and futuristic aspects, a sort of sci-fi and fantasy blend. I have to say the dynamics of Ella’s relationship with Rathan were a bit creepy for my taste,…

The Locksmith by Susan Kaye Quinn

4 stars I really enjoy this series. This is a great short story that can be read as a standalone or as part of the series. It’s been awhile since I read the first two novels, but I read it aloud to my boyfriend (who is not familiar with the series) today and we were…

Keeper by Susan Kaye Quinn

4 stars I really can’t get enough of this series. Susan Kaye Quinn has created a truly fascinating world and this story is a great continuation of it. This can be read as a standalone or as part of the series. The story includes enough detail that someone could go into it without having any…

Sharp’s Revenge by Jesse Nethermind

2 stars I have to say, I was a little disappointed by this story. While the story itself was not bad, it didn’t quite live up to the other stories I have read by Nethermind. This one was very simple and it felt too rushed. I did like the unique main character and the humor…

I Hate Zombies by Shantnu Tiwari

1 star I got this as a free e-book and, given that I am intrigued by zombies, I thought I’d give it a try. However, this book was really not a good fit for me. So instead of writing a rambling review, I am just going to list (some of) the reasons I did not…
