Book Review: Cruel Beauty

Before I start my rant and exultations for Cruel Beauty, let it be known that it has nothing to do with Graceling. I really don’t know what’s gotten into the mind of the marketers of this book to say that it’s a sweeping fantasy where Graceling meets Beauty and the Beast. Seriously? Now that we’re clear about that, my second advice is to take this book with zero expectations. Don’t overanalyse it or somewhat because if you do, you might end up hating it. Cruel Beauty might have gotten a 4-star rating from me, but it doesn’t mean that it’s…

Book Review: Avalon

I really don’t know what to expect in a book that is recommended to the fans of Joss Whedon’s cult hit show Firefly. Yes, I know Joss Whedon’s the celebrated director of the box office hit The Avengers but Firefly? Nope. Nonetheless, I picked this up because it’s sci-fi and the premise is appealing.

All That Glows is another reason why readers find themselves reluctant to read fairy stories. It is so reminiscent of those “books” that suffered from predictable and romance driven-plot, underdeveloped MCs, and lacklustre world building. *eyeroll* But I think, it would quite serve its purpose when one is looking for something light to read just to kill time.…

Book Review: Addicted To You

Howdy, my bloggy friends? We have 2 more hours to go and it’s jingle bells already. Since most of you are spending a White Christmas, I decided to post a steamy review to make things warmer. Guys…guys…this book…this book is nothing like I’ve encountered before. It’s disturbing… it’s thought provoking and definitely an eye-opener. I admit that I got this because of the hype and the curious premise. A story about sex addiction is not something I come across every day. And I intend to know if the authors will be able to portray the addiction in a convincing manner.…
