Nice review! I really enjoyed this book too. The ending had definitely made me want the second book asap!

I'll have to keep an eye out for your interview, Natalie! They're probably my favorite interviews to read. You always do a fabulous job on them!

This will be my first time at BEA, but I'm already signed up for the panel (plus I'm going to Penguin's Bird Bash!). I am just thrilled to have the opportunity, to talk books with bookish people, but I'm still arriving early to get the swag!

I have Of Poseidon on my TBR and I really really want to read Shadow and Bone. Super curious to see what you think of both books! I hope you enjoy them both. :)

You have some great posts linked up this week!

Hopefully things will start calming down now, the further you get away from graduation? At least you have time to read! That is a positive. I'm starting right back with teaching on Tuesday, so no rest for me.

O good stuff. Thanks for the links.

SHADOW AND BONE!!!! Jealous! That is definitely one of my most wanted debuts of 2012. All the stunning reviews I've read pretty much have me frothing at the mouth :D So excited to see what you think!

I enjoyed Of Poseidon too. Curious to ready our thoughts :)

2012-05-27T07:17:32.158-05:00

You are so lucky you got Shadow and Bone for review. I pre-ordered it because I requested an ARC but never heard back from the publisher. And I'm interviewing Leigh In July. I can't wait to read this.

Shadow and Bone looks fab. x Ƹ̴Ӂ̴ƷFICBOOKREVIEWSƸ̴Ӂ̴Ʒ

The synopsis sounds great! It sounds like a mix of urban fantasy and supernatural. Sad to hear the plot was a bit over done.

2012-05-27T00:06:29.578-05:00

If you're into thrillers, it's probably something you should try. I was mostly entertained while reading Nightfall, but after I finished the book and had some time to think about it, I was a little unsatisfied. But it's still an intriguing story!

I hope so! I'm going to probably end up trying...

2012-05-27T00:05:23.904-05:00

I hope so! I'm going to probably end up trying book two just to see where things go! I think it has potential, especially if the author hits his stride, like you said, Mary!

You did? Weird, right? For some reason, I frequently end up using metaphors in my reviews! It's probably the English student in me...Lol.

2012-05-27T00:02:28.811-05:00

Since you're a fan of the genre, I think you should definitely give it a shot sometime in the future, Heidi! If you do decide to read it, you'll have to let me know what you think!

I'm glad to hear you enjoyed this one, Becky! I definitely enjoyed parts of it...but it was a little hit and miss for the rest. Have you read the other books in the series yet?

Thanks for stopping by!

2012-05-26T20:59:53.545-05:00

What a bummer! It seems like this is another one where it's a great concept and a mediocre pay off. I get what you mean about dramatic events being a double edged sword, everything is better in moderation! It really does take away from the impact of bigger moments if everything is dramatic. As always, a wonderfully insightful review, Natalie!

2012-05-26T20:40:57.850-05:00

Nice review. I hadn't heard of this one either, but the summary grabbed me. Sorry the big events were too much. I def. get what you are saying. I appreciate the honest thoughts though.

My teen daughter just finished reading (and really enjoyed!) an eBook called Hear by Jacqueline Abelson. Great plot, interesting characters and a real message of self– empowerment. Here’s the link:

Congratulation on your graduation. Thank you for posting the deals. I found some great read. I plan on reading Everlost, since I read Unwind and loved it and am still waiting for the second in that trilogy.

Hi Stephen! Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by and read my review. I did like the overall feel of Nightfall, and I'm curious to learn more about Jack Nightingale, so I'll be sticking with the series at least through book two (and hopefully three as well)! I'm also planning on recommending the series to a friend or two. I think it's something they might enjoy!

2012-05-26T12:01:31.030-05:00

The book description does create a punch. I definitely seems quite different. It sounds like the "big moments" were too much of a good thing. I'm not quite sure if this is for me. I love thrillers but hmmm... this might be something I pick up when I'm in the mood. Great review!
