This Chick Read: Darken the Stars (The Kricket Series book 3) by Amy A. Bartol

Darken the Stars is the third and final book in this series, and I, like all of the other fans of this series are left saying “What?”  I loved how Kricket, who had been terrified of Kyon in the previous books, see’s his faults, but comes to care for him anyway.  Ok, if you’ve read my previous reviews for Under Different Stars and Sea of Stars, you know that Kyon has been cast as the evil character.  But, as with all great storytellers, this author gave us some insight into why he was so crazy, and also why Kricket was so important to him.

This Chick Read: Sea of Stars (The Kricket Series book 2) by Amy A. Bartol

The majority of Sea of Stars finds Kricket running with Trey Allairis, away from everyone who wants to control her, and through her, her powers of being able to see and change the future.  With the exception of Trey’s two Cavar brothers, Jax and Wayra, she does not trust anyone else on Ethar.  From what we have seen of the other men on Ethar, and how the men from this planet treat women, I don’t blame her.

This Chick Read: Under Different Stars (The Kricket series Book 1) by Amy A. Bartol

What a great find!  I saw a tweet about this book with a quote that read “So she’s a skeezer?  What’s a skeezer?  A boyfriend stealer.  Lol.”  That one line made me curious enough to look this book up on Amazon, and the synopsis made it sound good enough to read.  As I started reading, the writing was so good, the main character, Kricket, was flawed and funny, that before I knew it, I had read the entire first book in the series and immediately bought the second.

This Chick Read: Waylaid by Kim Harrison

On By deborahkehoeIn A Hot Chick Who Reads

What happens when the worlds of Rachel Morgan from Kim Harrison’s Hollows series and Peri Reed from The Drafter collides?  You get the chance to find out in Waylaid a novella by the author who wrote both.  Rachel Morgan is one of my absolute favorite fantasy characters and when that series ended, well, I was really unhappy.  When I heard that she would be back in a novella, I jumped at the chance to read it ahead of its release on April 4th.

This Chick Read: Rebel of the Sands by Alwyn Hamilton

This YA book took me completely by surprise.  I try not to read other reviews if I think I’m going to review a book myself, but I had read the synopsis.  It sounded intriguing, but didn’t sound special, yep, insert foot here.  I’ll get back to this statement, I promise, BUT, Rebel of the Sands did have some similarities to other YA novels. Continue reading “This Chick Read: Rebel of the Sands by Alwyn Hamilton” →

This Chick Read: Feverborn by Karen Marie Moning

I have eagerly anticipated this installment of the Fever series, as Mac and Barrons are two of my favorite fantasy romance characters.  Mac has grown away from the Barbie from the south stereotype who we met in volume one, evolving into a fighter trying to save humanity, and more importantly those she loves.  Barrons is still a grunting man-beast Continue reading “This Chick Read: Feverborn by Karen Marie Moning” →
