Review: The Virtue of Sin

The Virtue of Sin by Shannon Schuren
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I received an ARC of this title in the mail from the publisher, with a nice note from the author, as well. That being said, this is an objective review, and I have to share I really enjoyed this book. The characters are developed, with the main characters experiencing growth and understanding. The plot is really good--and feasible, all things considered. The progress is a little slow at the beginning, but it's all for the reader to better understand the society created by the community leader. I enjoyed it and recommend this for teen readers.

Review: Anna Is Still Here

Anna Is Still Here by Ida Vos
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The narrative was a little choppy, and perspective a little inconsistent from time to time, but then, wouldn't Anna's brain patterning be as such with what she went through, hiding upstairs, separated from her parents and all those she knows and loves? A good read, full of sadness, but hope, too.

Review: Strong Hearts Are Mandatory: Straight to Video

Strong Hearts Are Mandatory: Straight to Video by Teelia Pelletier
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love this book as much as I did the first one! I hear the third is coming out this month and I can't wait!

Video is the POV in this novel and that makes it all the better, I love her! She works to defeat Curiosity, but comes up with a much different strategy in this novel. And where are her family? Ooh, read and find out!

I'm in love with Bertie and Jeeves and really enjoyed this book as part of an omnibus of three titles. The dynamics between the two, the dialogue, is so fun!

Review: Fly: Goose Girl Retold

Fly: Goose Girl Retold by Demelza Carlton
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed the retelling of this book. It was not your average retelling, either. Characters were interesting, motivations were plausible, the setting was easy to imagine.

Review: The Runaway Countess: Nottinghamshire Series

The Runaway Countess: Nottinghamshire Series by Leigh LaValle
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Fun book! Maizie and Trent were beautifully flawed, wonderful characters and I was rooting for them the whole time! I would like to say I couldn't put it down, but let's say I sure didn't want to! Secondary characters were fun, too, and I am happy to find I can read more about them in other novels. A recommended read for readers who enjoy passionate characters.
