Insurgent (Divergent)
By Veronica Roth (Author) I have found more often than not, when you read these Young Adult trilogies the second book usually turns out to not be as interesting as the other two. However, I was pleasantly surprised with Insurgent by Veronica Roth. She was able to not only keep the story flowing without skipping a a single beat but also develop a stronger storyline. You are sucked in right from the first words which quote the Candor Manifesto, right to the very last page of the book. It is indeed the perfect companion to Divergent, which is the […]
Divergent
By Veronica Roth As a fan of the Hunger Games series, I decided to take on the hyped up Divergent series. It turns out the two are very similar, one just has a lot more rules. This new series by author Veronica Roth was clearly not written for adults, but more for teenagers. If you are going to be asking questions and looking for logic or explanations, you will most probably not enjoy this book. This 487 page book is set in a futuristic, dystopian Chicago which has the the city divided into five factions: Abnegation, Dauntless, Erudite, Candor, and […]
Never Go Back: A Jack Reacher Novel
By Lee Child Before I got my copy of Never Go Back, the latest in the Jack Reacher series, I read a lot of bad reviews from many long time fans. They all compare this book to the very first ones and expected it to be just as exciting at the very least. After reading the book, I personally still like Jack and still find it hard to resist him. This book is not the best in the series, but I enjoyed reading through its pages. In the last few books, Jack Reacher has been attempting to head back […]
Inferno
By Dan Brown After reading Dan Brown’s last book The Lost Symbol, I was so sure that we had come to the end of the Robert Langdon series. However, his latest offering Inferno has somehow revived my love for the Harvard professor. Although many may consider the conspiracy theories in this book lukewarm, when compared to The Da Vinci Code and Angel & Demons, there is still enough in this new novel to keep you on edge as you read through. I think I should forewarn you though that this book is a little darker than the others. Inferno begins […]
Six Years
By Harlan Coben Six Years is an amazing mystery thriller the latest offering from author Harlan Coben. It has so many different layers to it, as a long time fan, I thoroughly enjoyed this novel. I have been a fan of his since his Bolitar series and had no problems moving onto his stand alone books, such as this one. In true Harlan Coben fashion, he grabs you the reader right from the first pages of the book. He takes you on a bumpy ride that has a lot of twist and turns, leaving you experiencing the emotions of the […]
Fifty Shades Freed
Book Three of the Fifty Shades Trilogy By E.L. James If you had asked me before I read the first book in this trilogy, I probably would never have said that I enjoy reading this genre of books. However, the first two books got me hooked, I had no option but to read ‘Fifty Shades Of Freed’ which is the last installment in the series. This one had more of a plot and less sex scenes and personal conversations. Everything finally started to make sense. I know many women all over the world, and some men really appreciate the author […]
Sword of Darkness
By Kinley MacGregor Sword of Darkness: What if that magical world of Arthur had really existed? What if we only had part of the story? What if Camelot still existed? No longer in the hands of Arthur or his knights, but in the hands of Morgen le Fey and her court who are determined to reconstruct the Round Table and use it for evil? It would be the ultimate tale of good versus evil. That is just what Kinley MacGregor, medieval historian and New York Times best-selling author (writing as Sherrilyn Kenyon), does as she exposes the dark side of […]
