Book Review: A Monsoon Rising

Monsoon Rising was a 50-50 for me. I’m quite proud that I was able to finish it despite my general boredom reading through pages and pages of the Alaric and Talasyn constant-tug-of-war. I will tell you that I am a sucker for romance but I’d pick up a romance book if I am in the mood to read one. I’d picked Monsoon Rising because I was in the mood to read a YA fantasy book with hints of romance between the characters. I did not expect that this book was 85% romance set in a fantastical world and the main…

And now that I am writing this review, I am happy to report that it totally stayed true to its mission. A Harvest of Hearts revolves around the life of our heroine, Foss Butcher, a country bumpkin…

Book Review: Coraline

Neil Gaiman really has a way with words. Coraline is such a very short audiobook but nonetheless, Gaiman’s words and how he narrated the whole story still made me shivered with wonder as I listened to it. Just like The Graveyard Book, Coraline is brimming with a creeptastic vibe that will immediately pull you in into the world. Coraline’s setting seemed simplistic at first since the house where Caroline and her parents moved was somewhat normal… the next door neighbours seemed normal, too. But as the story progressed, everything is not what it seems to be as there’s a lurking…
