Midnight City started out as a very interesting book with promise: aliens, adventure, and apocalypse. But after finishing the story, I feel like I’m left with more questions than answers. I feel like I was distanced from the story and the characters. I think it’s […]
I have to admit, Mystic City started out a little tough for me. I was always interested in the story, but I had a hard time grasping the setting. The story takes place in a futuristic Manhattan, and there are a lot of new technologies […]
Breathe is an interesting sci-fi dystopian book told from three different points of view! We have Quinn. He’s a “Premium” — the elite in this new kind of society. His father works for the Breathe corporation. He has always had plenty of oxygen and lives […]
Me, pre-reading: “Please be good, please be good, please be good!” Seriously. I said that out loud to myself. This was one of my most anticipated fall 2012 novels. This book has so much personality. Every word that comes off the page is some kind […]

Eden’s Root is a great example of a realistic dystopian book! I’m not a scientist, so I don’t really know how accurate or realistic the science in the book is, but the scary thing is that I can see this happening. I believed it. Eden’s […]
This book is freakin’ scary. For some reason I wasn’t super incredibly excited to read it. I wasn’t unexcited, I just wasn’t looking forward to it the most. But wow, Ashfall has probably affected me the most out of all the books I’ve read this […]
