Review: Free Agent

Free Agent by J.C. Nelson

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



Wasn't perfect but I liked it. The main character, Marissa, was a little (read: a lot) exasperating but the worldbuilding drew me like a moth to a flame. The support characters were interesting and I was never really sure whose side they were on and that took some great turns and twists to achieve. Not bad. I'm impressed. That being said, Marissa's "Oh woe me" attitude regarding Liam and her parents was becoming increbly hard to swallow and I'm not sure how much more I would've accepted. The "big bang" was also a little disappointing...Marissa's attempts to find out what was happening were almost always without any info and I belive her survival/solution was pretty much a fluke. It simply fell on her head. She didn't really made anything happen on her own except the whole mirror thing with Grimm. So I expected better. A little more bang.

Review: Mr. Kiss and Tell

Mr. Kiss and Tell by Rob Thomas

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



Very good if still slightly disappointing for me. For some odd reason I can't quite understand I always expect these books to be out of this world extraordinary...my guess is that my love for the series in my teens tends to make me overly excited every time a book comes out. That being said, this book is still very good. Veronica is still her righteous self even when she's not. Logan still makes my heart pound faster and Keith is still the best father Veronica could have. However, I didn't find this story as compelling as the previous one. I found my attention wandering sometimes and, maybe because we find the culprit's identity early on, I just couldn't muster as much thrill for the ending as I did for the other book. Also the romance left me quite sad. They're just kind of stagnant now and they were always so vibrant together...Anyway. I'm not sorry I read it and I'm definitely looking forward to the next story.

Review: Shocking Cassandra

Shocking Cassandra by Mary Jane Cabot

My rating: 2 of 5 stars



I'm done and I honestly feel dirty for reading this. There's erotica and then there's this. I...don't think I have enough words right now to describe how creepy/disgusting this felt to me.

The writing is...okay I guess, in terms of quality anyway. The content however is/was ridiculous. I don't think my brain is even up to begin dissecting this book. I'm honestly not giving a 1-star-rating simply because the writing isn't terrible.
