Review: Ghost Story

Ghost Story Ghost Story by Jim Butcher
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Concession Stand: Soda

I absolutely love this series and Ghost Story lived up to pretty much all my expectations. It answered questions that I had from Changes, it offered believable character growth, there were plenty of sarcastic one-liners and insights as well as some extremely poignant scenes that tugged on the heart strings enough that I felt myself actually tearing up.

I burned through this book very quickly because I couldn't wait to get to the end, and now I can't wait to see what comes next. Definitely something I would recommend to anyone - and I do, to anyone I know who enjoys reading at all.

Review: Daughter of the Blood

Daughter of the BloodDaughter of the Blood by Anne Bishop
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Concession Stand: Soft Pretzel

I'm torn for my review of this book. On the one hand the story, and the characters, are engaging enough that I feel a desperate need to get my hands on the second on in the series. Not to mention the cliff-hanger ending. But the world and the writing style didn't thrill me.
