February 2013 Wrap-Up

1. Gone Girl - Gillian Flynn
My rating: 5/5 stars
Quick thoughts: I don't normally read this genre, but I was very interested in this book after first hearing about it. I was caught up in it from the very beginning and I couldn't stop wondering what would happen next. I love that the chapters alternated between two people as well as past and present.

2. Rockoholic - C.J. Skuse
My rating: 3.5/5 stars
Quick thoughts: I was really interested in the story line of this book, but when I was about halfway through I became really disinterested. It was just weird and absolutely unbelievable. I could not connect with the characters, I hardly liked any of the characters and I just got bored.

3. Darkness Falls - Cate Tiernan
My rating: 5/5 stars
Quick thoughts: This is the second book in the Immortal Beloved series and I absolutely LOVED this sequel! Usually the sequels never really live up to the first in the series, but this was so much better than Immortal Beloved. It was completely action packed and I could not put this one down.

4. Clarity - Kim Harrington
My rating: 4/5 stars
Quick thoughts: I had no idea what this book was about going into it, but it turned out to be very pleasant. Although it was a little hard to connect with the characters, I was still very intrigued with this book. It's almost like a murder mystery and the whole time I was trying to figure out who the killer could be. I was wrong..every time.

5. Warm Bodies - Isaac Marion
My rating: 5/5 stars
Quick thoughts: This book...this book. SO GOOD. I can't even get over how much I really liked this book. The writing was BEAUTIFUL. The way the author describes everything is just amazing. I didn't know if I would be able to take this book seriously (a zombie falling in love with a human is a little hard to believe) but somehow, the author made it work.

6. A Need So Beautiful - Suzanne Young
My rating: 4/5 stars
Quick thoughts: Again, I had no idea what this book was about going into it. I still don't even know what to describe it as, fallen angels? I probably would have enjoyed it a little bit more had I not read Clarity just a week before. It seemed really similar in ways, but I still can't wait to read the second installments in both series.

7. Eternally Yours - Cate Tiernan
My rating: 4/5 stars
Quick thoughts: This is the third installment in the Immortal Beloved series. Although it wasn't as action packed as the second (which is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5) it was still really enjoyable. I hoped for a better ending though, and now it has me wondering if there is going to be a fourth book (anyone have any idea about that?) I definitely recommend this series to those who want to read about some kick ass immortal characters!
