Ink Exchange
Melissa Marr
HarperCollins, 2008
Much better than Wicked Lovely
+ Darky Nuanced
+ Craving for More
I enjoyed Wicked Lovely, but it wasn't the best book I have ever read.
While I loved Seth and Aislynn, I had a hard time liking Keenan. He was kind of flat as was the story in my opinion. However, I chose to give Ink Exchange a chance, and I am so glad that I did.
I loved this story and the ...

Wicked Lovely
Melissa Marr
HarperTeen, 2007
Flawed and Loving it
+ Enjoyed it - 4 1/2 stars
+ A huge relief after the horror of reading Twilight
I was really excited about this novel when it first came out, but the hardback was too much money. So I waited for it in paperback, and became uninterested. The more I learned about the novel the more it sounded like a rip-off of Black's Tithe. After reading it I'm so glad I did.
Ok. First off I ...

Blood and Chocolate
Annette Curtis Klause
Delacorte Books for Young Readers, 2007
Engaging Werewolf Fiction
+ An underrated, good read
I agree very much with E.R.'s review of this book- it is a wonderful story with a very engaging plot. I disagree with it being banned, especially when in comparison to today's television programming, but I'll leave it at that.
If you don't mind a book containing what I believe is on par with ...

A Farewell to Arms (Scribner Classics)
Ernest Hemingway
Scribner, 1997
__Underscore.
+ Profound. Sad. Moving.
+ A good, quick read
What beauty. What excellent prose. There is little I can say that has not already been said about Hemingway's style. So, I will keep my review short and blunt. This is one of the select few finest American literary works of the twentieth century. If you have any interest in Hemingway's writing, ...

Tithe: A Modern Faerie Tale
Holly Black
Simon Pulse, 2004
One of My ALL TIME Favorites
+ Amazing book, one of my favorites!
I received Tithe as a gift soon after its publication and was immediately sucked in. Many books are hard to get into, with a lot of back story clumped at the beginning - Tithe is not one of them. There is plenty of action, emotion, danger and intrigue to keep you reading and guessing. The humans ...
