The Golden Compass
The Golden Compass was an instant classic that holds up today. It’s a masterpiece of writing, and deconstructing the way Pullman crafts his story just reveals how great a writer he is.

Feverborn Review
We've drank the Karen Marie Moning kool-aid. We enjoyed the crap out of Feverborn and have decided to accept it for what it is, ridiculous sex scenes and all. Watch our review of Feverborn to find out...
Sea of Shadow [Book Swap #4]
Chelsey and Alexandra talk about The Twelve Kingdoms Sea of Clouds a book that has AMAZING world building and is only held back by it's clunky prose.
The Haters Review
The Haters' benefits from Jesse Andrews' unique brand of comedy and writing style. While the plot is technically nothing out of the ordinary, it is highly enjoyable and laugh-out loud funny.

Glass Sword Spoilers
So we didn't really like this one. Chelsey and Alexandra get into more details about what they liked and didn't like about Glass Sword. And they ask, have books just become more miserable these day...
Glass Sword
Glass Sword delivers a sequel that in now way lives up to it's predecessor. Between a lack of character development and a petulant heroine there is very little to hold our interest in this novel.

Life and Death Spoiler Review
Chelsey and Alexandra break down Life and Death a little further with focused readings of specific passages... After this no more Twilight. It does not exist any more.
Peeps Review
While this book has aged a bit, the best part, the parasites, are still the stars of the show. Peeps even blatantly ignores the YA taboos of sex and alcohol and comes out better for it.

American Vampire Vol. 1 Review
American Vampire was a decent origin story but many of the themes that could have pervaded the story weren’t even touched upon. All in the series has potential and we hope that it reaches it.
