Alexandra Reviews
The Merciless
Merciless is a good creepy read. but I didn't lose any sleep over it.
Days of Blood and Starlight
We were both really surprised when we read this novel Days of Blood and Starlight. Where the first book in the series was driven mostly by the romantic relationship between Akiva and Karou, this novel...
Hollow City
Alexandra talk about Hollow City, the second book in the Peculiar Children series
The Kingdom of Little Wounds
A beautifully written novel about ugly things, Kingdom of Little Wounds is not for the faint of heart. Little Wounds is a breath of fresh air in the tightly monitored teen section. If you love period ...
Fortunately, the Milk
A clever funny ode to fatherhood, Neil Gaiman takes his reader on an adventure into the ridiculous and the fantastic.
Daughter of Smoke and Bone
We were torn on this one. Daughter of Smoke and Bone is a fresh face in the teen section offering a new and interesting world, but the book is not without it's faults.
Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children
Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children mixes text with found photographs to tell the story of Jacob. Jacob’s grandfather used to tell him stories about his adventures with super powe...
iDrakula
iDrakula comes from a place of love for the original text. Where the epistolary style worked for the original novel, the use of text messages to tell the story of Dracula leaves much to be desired.
Vampire Academy Review
In Vampire Academy Rose and Lissa must survive not only the ridiculous politics of their high school, but figure out who it is who is threatening Lissa before it is too late. Rose and Lissa are compli...
The Night Circus
The Night Circus has some of the most beautiful imagery that we have come across in a long time. It sets up this beautiful playground but fails to deliver characters to populate it.
Surviving The Room
The Disaster Artist was difficult to get through. Not because it wasn’t interesting, or well written. No, The Disaster Artist is an in depth look into the mind of an eccentric man. This book rec...
Graceling
Graceling is a decent fantasy novel. Despite its faults Kristin Cashore shows to be a promising author and one worth watching.
Cain’s Blood
Unlike Chelsey who had no idea what she was getting into when she began The Strain I knew exactly what I was getting into when I finally willed myself into reading Geoffrey Girard’s Cain’s...
Smoke
Smoke is the sequel to Ellen Hopkin’s novel Burned. Right of the bat there were a few MAJOR changed to the world of this novel. First, it was clear that Ellen Hopkins had done more research whe...
Angelology
Although it presents an interesting premise, Angelology is limited by its awkward grasp of language. Angelolgy would make a half decent movie but is a less then average novel.
