Hey, fellow Roswell-Read-A-Long peeps! Please enjoy this awesome GUEST REVIEW of The Vanished by Meredith Maresco of Pandorasbooks.org: As a fan of the Roswell television series, I was a little reluctant to read the books, especially when I found out the books actually preceded the television show. I had fallen in love the with actors who played the characters, and so many things get changed in the process of creating a show or movie based […]
My thoughts… I’ve been waiting a long time for this one. I love both Leah and Jack. They’ve been in previous books and I couldn’t wait to read their story. Leah is a pastry chef who doesn’t ever complete anything. It stems from her youth when her father would constantly berate her and tell her things like “You’ll never amount to nothing” or “You never finish anything you start.” At the beginning of this book […]
My thoughts… While I enjoyed The Master Undone I couldn’t help but feel a little bit of disappointment. I was hoping to gain insight to Mark’s thoughts on how things were between him and Rebecca while they were together. That’s not really the case with this novella. You do get a glimpse of his perspective and feelings toward Rebecca, but there are other things going on within this novella. There’s a new character and her […]
The Intruder is probably my LEAST FAVORITE of all the Roswell High books. My disdain for this book doesn’t lie with the writing, it lies with Michael’s story line. In book five, we pick up right where we leave off in book four. Max has just been saved with the crystals from their ship, and connected with the collective consciousness of his planet. Unfortunately, we lose Ray Iburg at the end of book four, and […]
My thoughts… One Tiny Lie was a really quick read for me. I was able to read it within one day. It held my attention from the very beginning and didn’t let go. Livie is off to college. Princeton exactly. She’s always dreamed of attending Princeton, her fathers alma mater, and becoming a doctor. I loved her in Ten Tiny Breaths. She’s the younger sister of Kacey Clearly. She’s 18 and a bit naive. She […]
My thoughts… I loved Madison in the first book and I’m happy that she got her own story. She’s really strong and I liked her a lot. She gave up her life in New York so she could come home and take over the family business when her parents were killed in a deadly car accident. Gabriel. He is bad ass and I really liked him. He suffers from PTSD and has nightmares every night. […]
I really enjoyed The Wild One, book two in the Roswell High series. It basically picks up right where The Outsider left off, and we are introduced to a new character named Nickolas. Now, if you have watched the Roswell show and read the books before, you know that the Nickolas in Melinda’s book is very different from the one in the show. Just as our three alien-hybrids, Max, Michael, and Isabel, are getting comfortable […]
My thoughts… What a great contemporary story. I really liked this one. It goes something like this… Kyler and Sydney have been friends since childhood. Both of them are in love with each other, but neither has a clue that the other feels the same way. I loved Sydney from the beginning. Even though she’s deeply in love with Kyler, she keeps her feelings to herself because she knows he’s a player and doesn’t want […]
My thoughts… Promise Me This is a sweet new adult contemporary romance. I really enjoyed this one. The characters are rich with emotions and I loved getting to know them. I really liked Charlie. She’s a bit clumsy. In fact upon meeting Jhett she face plants. Poor girl. She’s always done as her controlling mother has wanted. She goes to a specific school and has never really “lived” life. She’s never experienced what all the […]
My thoughts… This is book two in the Breathing Series. I really enjoyed it. It was a really quick read for me and I’m loving this series. This book mainly focuses on the relationship between Emma and her mother Rachel. Emma wants to try and see if they can salvage their torn relationship before she heads off to college after she graduates. Right from the beginning I couldn’t understand why Rachel wanted Emma to call […]
My thoughts… Catching Liam is a new adult contemporary romance debut novel by Author Sophia Bleu. I wasn’t sure what to expect going into this one, but the synopsis caught my attention and I decided to take a chance. I’m really glad I did. Jillian’s got a secret. One only her two best friends know about. Because of this secret she doesn’t date anymore. Instead she chooses to bring a guy home for a night […]
My favorite red-headed pixie chic is back full force in Death, Doom, and Detention. Many revelations (quite similar to the Book of Revelations) left Lorelei with an identity crisis and warring emotions in Death and the Girl Next Door. She found out the boy she’s in love with is the Angel of Death, her creepy stalker is her Nephilim body-guard, and there is a dormant demon residing in her. And that’s just a short list. Now, […]
My thoughts… This is a really cute and sweet contemporary story. It’s pretty short in length and I was able to read it in less than a day. I really liked the characters. Sometimes things aren’t always how they seem to be and Nicola found this out first hand. People do things and act a certain way for different reasons. I think Nicola and Blaire made a cute couple and I’m happy they got their […]
My thoughts… Vicente. *swoon* He’s the oldest Santinis brother. The one who’s not in a relationship. The last man standing until the one and only woman he has ever loved is divorced and back in his life. Julianna. Vicente has loved her since high school and was heartbroken when she married his best friend. She’s a little gun shy when it comes to relationships, which is understandable given what her ex-husband has put her through. […]
“You’re my human.” Can I really be attracted to a gargoyle? That was the question I asked myself while debating whether or not to read this book. The mention of gargoyles struck up cemented images in my head of hog-nosed, crumbling stone creatures ready to tumble-down from their lofty perch and end me. Then, the memory of The Gargoyles cartoon from a decade ago hit me like a ton of bricks, and I recalled how […]
My thoughts… What a great way to end a great series. This is such a great book. The story is told in Will’s POV. It’s a little different in the sense that the book switches back in forth between the past and present. While they’re on their honeymoon, Will is telling Lake his point of view of the things they experienced in the past. I thought this was a unique way of telling this story. […]
My thoughts… What a way to end a two book mini series. I loved this one as well. Cole has got to be one of my favorite book boyfriends EVER. He’s simply amazing! There are many twists and turns with this story that will keep you guessing on why things are the way they are. However, I recommend that you read the first book to know exactly what’s going on with all the characters. When […]
My thoughts… I loved this one! It Had to Be You is a funny contemporary romance that’s sure to touch your heart. It’s book #7 in the Lucky Harbor series by author Jill Shalvis. Both Ali & Luke aren’t looking for love. Ali’s boyfriend has dumped her, she’s lost her job, and she doesn’t have a place to live anymore since the lease on her boyfriends house is up. Enter Luke Hanover. He’s the owner […]
Regina’ s Review: That moment when you’re reading a book, and a couple of chapters in something “clicks” and leaves you <insert sharp intake of breath here> Breathless? Yeah, this installment in the Elemental series gives bold significance to the title from the start. This book had a different feel than the rest for me. I felt more like a voyeur, vicariously experiencing something forbidden through the thoughts of Nick Merrick, Gabriel’s identical twin. Nick is […]
My thoughts… Wow! What a great book. This is the first one by Author Mercy Amare that I have read and I really enjoyed it. It sucked me in from page one and kept my attention and had me turning page after page to see what would happen next. I actually read this baby in a little under 7 hours! I normally don’t read a book in one day. It usually takes me two and […]
If you are like me, you are always wondering, “Do I really need to read the 0.5 or 1.5 or 5.5 novella? Is it worth my .99 cents???” More often than not, the answer has been “YES!” for me. Elemental is worth the read (and buck) not because it is integral to understanding the rest of the series, but because it is integral to understanding Michael’s character. Insightful and romantic, Brigid Kemmerer sweeps me off my […]
