Nightblade’s Honor (Blades of the Fallen #2) by Ryan Kirk

4 stars

I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is a great sequel to the first book in the series Nightblade’s Vengeance. The book starts off with a bang and doesn’t slow down. With the kingdom in chaos and on the brink of civil war, the nightblades must choose a side. After the events of the last book, the nightblades are out of favor with the citizens in the Kingdom. Nightblades are considered the enemies of the kingdom, are hunted by the lords and must go into hiding. Continue reading “Nightblade’s Honor (Blades of the Fallen #2) by Ryan Kirk” →

Warcross (Warcross #1) by Marie Lu

4.5 stars

Wow. What a great book! I LOVED the Legends book series but was pretty disappointed in the Young Elites series, so I am relieved that the author I loved from the Legends series is back.

Warcross is a game that has taken over the world. Millions of people spend all of their free time in the virtual world, while others use it to try to make money. As with most things, there is also a dark side. Emika Chen, a teenage hacker, struggles to make ends meet by working as a bounty hunter tracking down people that illegally gamble on Warcross. Facing eviction, Emika takes a chance and hacks herself into the International Warcross Championships, a world-wide event watched by millions. Once in the game, however, something goes wrong and she enters the action of the game. Her identity is out and she becomes an overnight sensation.

Weave a Circle Round by Kari Maaren

3 stars

I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This book was hard to rate. The writing is good, but the story didn’t interest me. The story centers on Freddy, a young girl that tries very hard not to be noticed. Her sister Mel is very confidant and brilliant. Her stepbrother Roland is deaf and not a fan of Freddy. He spends most of his time avoiding her and creating roleplaying games for his group of friends. Continue reading “Weave a Circle Round by Kari Maaren” →

Jazz is estranged from her father and has had her share of heartaches. When she’s given the opportunity of a lifetime to finally get ahead of the game by committing a risky crime, she jumps at the chance. She just didn’t count on quite so many complications.
