Splintered (Splintered #1) by A.G. Howard Book Review by Cassia Ashen


(This review is for a reread. Contains spoilers)Okay! I am finally getting around to writing this review! Now I just want to start off by saying that I may have a slightly biased opinion for a few reasons;A) I absolutely adore Alice in Wonderland/Alice Through The Looking Glass,B) and I have an unhealthy obsession with dark/twisted/macabre fairy retellings.This book has both! There ARE a few things that I could probably complain about if I wanted to... (romanticizing mental health patients/asylums, extremely overprotective love interest), But all in all I loved this book! One thing you should know about me is that I usually absolutely hate love triangles. I think they are tacky and cheesy and cliche.HOWEVER. A.G Howard shocked me by (almost) being able to pull off a love triangle that I could handle.I know, I know, your probably thinking; "almost? She 'almost' pulled it off?" and yes. She ALMOST pulled it off. On the one hand I'm absolutely in LOVE with Morpheus (Dark, seductive, Netherling and sensitive... umm yes please?), and on the other hand... well actually, Jeb doesn't even deserve a hand... So yeah. I'm just so obsessed with book, I highly recommend. :)

The Darkest Minds (The Darkest Minds, #1) by Alexandra Bracken Book review by Cassia Ashen OK! I am finally getting around to writing this review! Well. If I had to sum the whole book up in a sentence, I'd say....... The plot had more holes than Swiss cheese. Now I'm sorry, But I really, REALLY wanted to love this book, and what with so many other people loving it, and the film adaption coming soon, I thought I would... But nope. I just could not get into it. Now I was totally willing to COMPLETELY overlook the seemingly half-ass writing, (*cough* Divergent *cough*) but there were just too many other elements that I didn't like... For example; 95% of the time I didn't even understand what the hell was going on, or why the characters did anything they did! Ugh. It was really quite frustrating to be honest. Like how you're just supposed to figure out the colors all on your own with little to no help from the author, ALSO. I don't understand how this whole ...

The WORST Book EVER

Image
Hello fellow Bookworms! Today I write about something extremely unfortunate... I have had the terrible misfortune of reading the WORST book I have EVER. Insanity by Cameron Jace. (I do like the cover artwork though) Ugh no.  No no no no NO .  This book was horrible, terrible, appalling, atrocious, obnoxious, ghastly, dreadful, disgusting, loathsome, abhorrent, repugnant, and just.plain.AWFUL.  I am even going to go as far as to say this is THE worst book I have EVER read. The sentence structure: Trash.  with sentences like; "She is quite a nice woman. Let's not waste time, we need to get to the asylum and change before we visit her." He turns and talks to the driver. It's not the chauffeur this time. Just a normal guy."  There are so many things wrong with this thought.  Like that wonderfully descriptive depiction of the driver. Wow. He's not a chauffeur, just a normal guy.  That really paints a very specific pictu...
