Matched by Ally Condie

4 January 2012 Jackie 1

I had been hearing a lot about this new young adult dystopian and when I was given the chance to review, I took the chance. I have to say, while Ally Condie’s Matched had a nice premise, I honestly don’t see what all the hype was for. Cassia has always […]

Blood Ties by Mari Mancusi

4 December 2011 Nicole 0

I’ve been on a huge YA kick lately, so was excited to pick up Blood Ties by Mari Mancusi.  I guess I didn’t realize that the Blood Coven series was as far along (this is book 6) as this.  But I didn’t feel too terribly lost, which is always a plus. The […]

Sweetly by Jackson Pearce

18 November 2011 Casey 1

Of all the fairy tales, the story of Hansel and Gretel is my least favorite. Something about it has always rubbed me the wrong way. Yet when I read Jackson Pearce’s retelling of the story in her latest novel, Sweetly, there was nothing I didn’t absolutely love about it. As a […]

Enthralled (Anthology)

12 November 2011 Nicole 1

Have I mentioned I really love anthologies? I do. I love that it gives authors a chance to showcase different characters, whole new worlds, etc. Also, it gives readers a chance to easily discover a new to them author. It’s a win-win. The anthology I just finished is Enthralled, which […]

Young Justice

5 November 2011 Jackie 1

If you follow LE on Facebook or Twitter, you probably already know that I’ve been watching a lot of DC Comic shows and movies, one of which is the Cartoon Networks’ Young Justice. Don’t call them sidekicks! Superboy, Robin, Aqualad, Miss Martian, Kid Flash and Artemis are Young Justice, the […]

The Iron Knight by Julie Kagawa

10 October 2011 Casey 1

I have loved Ash since the very first time Meghan laid eyes on him. So it’s no surprise that I found his book, The Iron Knight, to be sheer perfection.  My name—my True Name—is Ashallayn’darkmyr Tallyn. I am the last remaining son of Mab, Queen of the Unseelie Court. And I […]

Mistwood by Leah Cypess

20 September 2011 Casey 1

I’d been meaning to read Mistwood by Leah Cypess for about a year now, but kept putting it off. When I finally got around to reading it, I literally devoured it in one day. Isabel remembers nothing. Nothing before the prince rode into her forest to take her back to […]

Red Run by Kami Garcia

7 September 2011 Jackie 0

I love anthologies, especially since that’s how I generally find new authors to read. It’s also a great way to try several authors in a genre one doesn’t typically gravitate towards. For me, I’m not a big young adult fan, so I don’t go looking in the young adult section […]

Demon Trapper’s Daughter by Jana Oliver

21 August 2011 Jackie 2

I’m not a huge fan of young adult novels as I tend to always find the ones that continually go on about how young the main character is.  However, I kept hearing rave reviews about Jana Oliver’s Demon Trapper’s Daughter (aka Forsaken in the UK), so I decided to give […]
