Leafing Through Pages – The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner (The Twilight Saga #3.5)

For all books in the Twilight Series, go here. Stars: 3 / 5 Recommendation: I have mixed feelings with this book. Though I liked the way the story moves along and leads to the tragic end of the protagonist, which we already know would happen, I was put off by the droning of her innerContinue reading “Leafing Through Pages – The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner (The Twilight Saga #3.5)”

Leafing Through Pages – Memory Man (Amos Decker #1)

For review of all books in the Amos Decker series, go here. Stars: 3 / 5 Recommendation: It is still a well-written and engaging story, even though it is disturbing and dark. Definitely not fast-paced since a lot of redundancy and droning goes on. Somehow Baldacci still managed to keep the reader gripping to theContinue reading “Leafing Through Pages – Memory Man (Amos Decker #1)”

Leafing Through Pages: The Unexpected Gift / Christmas Promises

Here is my take on the final two novellas in the Silent Night book beginning with The Unexpected Gift, the second novella, followed by Christmas Promises, the third novella. The Unexpected Gift Stars: 2.5 / 5 Recommendation: Plot, although well written, felt a lot weaker led by the key characters’ libido and felt really rushedContinue reading “Leafing Through Pages: The Unexpected Gift / Christmas Promises”

Leafing Through Pages: A Berry Merry Christmas

Stars: 2.5 / 5 Recommendation: There is magic and fantasy; romance and heartbreak; and above all a healing of all hearts involved while finding their way during the holidays. A whimsical romance mixed with emotional roller coaster in it, but not my choice of romance books I like normally. A Berry Merry Christmas is theContinue reading “Leafing Through Pages: A Berry Merry Christmas”
