Priyanka

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars Genre: Supernatural Fiction Age Recommended: 14 and up My Secret Santa bought me the fifth and sixth book of this series!! I am ever so grateful for this and can’t wait to read the next book! If you’re reading this, you know who you are!! I found this book a little more difficult to understand, again, because of the abrupt change of main characters, but also because the characters had very similar names. ———————————————– Martina is one of the Angel Corps- a group of clones designed by Fritz to rid the world of imperfect … Continue reading Book Review: Immutable by Cidney Swanson (Book five of the Ripple series)

Book Review: Visible by Cidney Swanson (Book four of the Ripple series)

Priyanka

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars Genre: Supernatural Fiction Age Recommended: 14 and up I found this book a little more enjoyable than the others because the focus of the author switched and many secondary characters from previous books became the focus of this story. This helped a lot with the development of these characters and I enjoyed reading about their backgrounds. ——————————————- Sam and her friend Gwyn have finally managed to escape from the clutches of the evil Fritz and they believe him to be defeated. Gwyn is also living her “happily ever after” with Chretin and can’t wait to … Continue reading Book Review: Visible by Cidney Swanson (Book four of the Ripple series)

Book Review: Chameleon by Cidney Swanson (Book Two of the Ripple Series)

Priyanka

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars Genre: Supernatural Fiction Age Recommended: 14 and up I just recently discovered that there are seven books in this series, not four! I am thrilled and hope to read them all soon! I felt that this book was a little more confusing than the first; mainly because some of the newly introduced characters have similar names. However, this book is definitely more action-packed which I enjoyed. —————————————– Sam and Will have now broken into a university to steal a book that could solve all of their problems.

Book Review: The Rippler by Cidney Swanson (Book One of the Ripple series)

Priyanka

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars Genre: Supernatural Fiction Age Recommended: 14 and up I find books like this one that have themes related to humans with supernatural abilities very interesting.

Nobody notices that occurrence but after a few seconds, people believe that she’s fallen overboard as they cannot find … Continue reading Book Review: The Rippler by Cidney Swanson (Book One of the Ripple series)

Book Review: Brave New World by Aldous Huxley

Priyanka

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars Genre: Dystopian Fiction Age Recommended: 14 and up This book was my first choice for a lit circle in my school about dystopian fiction. We researched the author before reading the book and learned some very interesting things about him. I actually wouldn’t recommend this book to people who are easily offended. The book had explicit content from the beginning and also encouraged use of drugs in a dystopian society. However, the overall theme of the book was educational as it centered around identity and individuality. —————————– The book begins about 35 years in the … Continue reading Book Review: Brave New World by Aldous Huxley

Book Review: I Am Sleepless: Sim 299 by Johan Twiss (Book One of the I Am Sleepless series)

Priyanka

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars Genre: Fiction Age Recommendation: 12 and up I received this book courtesy of Bookrature. This book was very thrilling and I loved the action and suspense. The beginning was confusing as there were a lot of characters with no background but as the book evolved, the characters were developed and I enjoyed it a lot. Also, this was a pretty long book, in contrast to some of the other ARCs I’ve read recently, which made it all the more enjoyable. ———————————————— Aidan and his two best friends are part of a military organization in … Continue reading Book Review: I Am Sleepless: Sim 299 by Johan Twiss (Book One of the I Am Sleepless series)

Book Review: Amelia’s Story by D. G. Torrens

Priyanka

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars Genre: Realistic Fiction Age Recommended: 14 and up This book was quite disturbing yet very well-written. The author had obviously put a lot of thought into how this story would develop which I appreciated. I wish some of the characters in the book had more intrigue. From the get-go, there were good characters and bad characters, and you could tell who was what from the outset. Some readers would appreciate this, but I personally, would like a little more suspense. —————————————- Amelia and her brother Jake live with their abusive mother. She beats them daily … Continue reading Book Review: Amelia’s Story by D. G. Torrens
