Rebecca’s Favorites
1. Alienated by Melissa Landers (5*) – I enjoyed this book because it
made me laugh out loud. The storyline was interesting and different from what I
usually read.
2. The Falconer by Elizabeth May (5*) – This book was amazing!!! It had mystery, intrigue, fighting, life vs.
death, faeries, action, strong female protagonist, and a little bit of romance.
What’s not to love?!?!? The only downfall is waiting for it to be released in
the U.S…in June of 2016!
3. Skink No Surrender by Carl Hiaasen (5*) – This book feature Skink,
a retired, believed-to-be-dead ex-governor vigilante, who saves and helps the
helpless. It was funny and also taught a lesson about the necessity of internet
safety and parents’ involvement.
4. Throne of Glass Series by Sarah Maas (4*) – The first book starts
off a little slow, but books three (Heir
of Fire) and four (Queen of Shadows)
quickly pick-up the pace and the story becomes more developed, and I, the
reader, became more invested. Maas builds an elaborate story world with evil
characters, weak characters who become strong, and characters who come into
their own and fight for what they believe is right. It is a good vs. evil (the
depths of the evil seem to have no end) story where I rooted for many
characters. It is a shame that I have to wait for the next two books!
5. Dusk Gate Chronicles
by Breeanna Puttroff (4*) – I delayed reading the first book in the series for
two years but quickly found myself hooked on the series. And my best friend
kept buying the books for me, feeding the habit. It is an interesting thought
that a world exists simultaneously as the current one, yet it is so different
from ours. I enjoyed the adventure and romance.
