Rating: ★★
Series: The 5th Wave (#1)

The Infinite Sea has been sat on our shelves since it’s release, and finally one of us has gotten round to reading it! After finishing The 5th Wave I was really interested to see how this series would progress, as we didn’t get an awful lot of answers. You may remember that in my review of The 5th Wave I said I wanted more Ringer, and what d’ya know? Ringer’s POV makes up at least 1/2 of the book!

(Mild Spoiler) Review: Carry On by Rainbow Rowell

P L O T
For those that loved the fan fiction elements of Fangirl, this is a must. But, if you’re expecting the same story Cath was writing that we got lucky snippets of, you’re in for a bit of a shock.

Carry On is a completely new story. It’s not what the fictional author Gemma T. Leslie created. It’s not what Cath wrote on her beloved laptop. It’s 100% Rainbow Rowell’s creation, though Rainbow and Cath harbour the same homoerotic tendencies when it comes to Simon and Baz.

Spoiler Review: The Infernal Devices by Cassandra Clare

Published on by Heart Full Of Books5 Comments

I have a full and stand-alone review of Clockwork Angel, but today, I thought I would give my general thoughts and opinions on the series as a whole after completing Clockwork Prince and Clockwork Princess. Upon finishing this series I can happily say that I enjoyed The Mortal Instruments series a whole lot more. The Infernal Devices series is, at its core, a romance, and I don’t think I can forgive the fact that Tessa somehow managed to have her cake and eat it too – absolutely ridiculous!

Series: Grave Mercy (#1) | Dark Triumph (#2)

I have loved the rest of the His Fair Assassin trilogy and I absolutely could not wait to start reading Mortal Heart, where we’d finally hear Annith’s side of things! However, I hate to say it, but I was bitterly disappointed with this as a conclusion! I can’t believe I didn’t enjoy this after loving the first two so much. Maybe it was because of how long it took me to get round to reading it, but I think its problems lie somewhere in these three things:

I absolutely love Kasie West, and can honestly say that I’ve enjoyed everything she’s written. I am beyond excited for her next contemporary story PS. I Like You, and am desperately anticipating the time when I can read The Distance Between Us. I read On The Fence, a few months ago and liked it, but this one blew me away. I literally could not put it down. Continue reading “Review: The Fill-In Boyfriend by Kasie West” →

Review: Rite of Revelation by Sarah Negovetich

Genre: Dystopian, Romance

Format: e-book
Rating: ★★★
Series: Rite of Rejection (#1)
Where to Find: Goodreads | Amazon

We were approached by Sarah to review the second book in her series, after reading Rite Of Rejection around this time last year. The first book in the series ends on a huge cliffhanger, and originally we didn’t think there was going to be a sequel, but there was more of Rebecca’s story to be told, so of course, we were delighted to be able to read the next instalment!

Review: The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey

Format: Hardback
Rating: ★★★
Series: The Infinite Sea (#2)
Where to Find: Goodreads | Amazon

The 5th Wave movie is soon to be released, and this book has been out for a pretty long time now, so I thought I better read it to see what all the hype is about. I have to say that I think it’s overhyped, because although I enjoyed the story, there were certain perspectives that didn’t interest me at all. Suspense wise, though, this series is very promising and I look forward to the sequel.

P L O T
In the final book of the Grisha Trilogy, Alina and Mal must hunt for the final amplifier in hopes of destroying the Darkling and his power once of for all. Full of action, tragedy and the occasion sweet kiss, Ruin and Rising is one of the best series finales I’ve ever read.

The characters have reached their climatic peril. It’s all go for the gang. How many other ‘this is it!’ quotes can I put in a plot summary? Basically, we’re in for a wild ride. (Woohoo, cliche counter cracked!)  Continue reading “(Spoiler) Review: Ruin and Rising by Leigh Bardugo” →
