Cryer's Cross

Cryer's Cross has to be one of the worst books I have ever read. So awful in fact, I put off this review for four months because I dreaded ever having to think about the book again. I found it the other day and felt like enough time had gone by and I could finally put to words exactly what I disliked about the book.  

Cryer's Cross was an extremely graphic mystery / horror novel. The end of the book was not only a disappointment, but felt like the end of a bad low budget horror film. In the book, the main character, Kendall Fletcher's best friend and "boyfriend" Nico Cruz, disappear five days after another girl in town has gone missing. The cover might look intriguing, it did to me at least, but this book is most definitely not worth anyone's time, in my opinion. 

I finished the book extremely disappointed with the conclusion and mad that I had spent time on a novel that had such a poor resolution and took too long to come to a climax.

Firelight

When Jacinda is taken from her home to avoid a terrible punishement, she is brought to the middle of a desert to hide. But this place turns even more dangerous than the last when Jacinda meets Will. He and his cousins are hunters, sworn enemies of Jacinda's family. For Jacinda is draki, an ancient dragon-like myth. Jacinda must make a choice between love and loyalty, and in the end, a decision that may bring the draki down.

Firelight, a supernatural tale of passion and fire, is a sure read for fans of Twilight and The Hunger Games.

Revamped

In Revamped, the thrilling sequel to Vamped, vampire Gina is sent off to spy as Goth girl Geneva Belfry. But when things start to get out of hand, Gina begins to wonder what’s really happening. Soon, the group of teenagers she’s befriended start to doubt her identity and Gina finds herself asking what’s really important. This romantic novel is a thrilling story, full of twists and turns. I loved this dark and exciting book and could barely put it down.
