Book Review: Blue is for Nightmares

I picked up this book at a new local store based on an employee's recommendation. At first, I was hesitant, while I do enjoy YA books I was afraid that it would be cheesy with her being a "witch", and with them all being so young.

I am glad that I grabbed this book and was not disappointed at all. I LOVED the supernatural aspect, as that is my favorite go to in books, but it was believable and I could totally picture everything that happened. I will have to say that while I enjoyed the book, I totally had the "stalker" figured out very quickly. I do wish that it would have been more of a guess for me on who it was. I also would have liked to have a little more detail on the "stalker" character. There was so much more that could have been explained about him.

My favorite character, Amber, was actually a side character in the book, and she was just too funny.

Overall, I enjoyed this book enough to go back to the store and pick up book number two in this series and being it almost immediately. If you enjoy YA I would give this a go. 

Check it out on Amazon!!  

I post lots of reviews on Goodreads as well. Be sure to head on over there, I accept friends requests there!

Book Review:Night Thief by Lisa Kessler

I finished this book rather quickly, as it is a quick read. With the first chapter I was really unsure of how I was going to feel about this book, yet I kept reading, as I was still intrigued. The synopsis of the book is really what grabbed my attention in the first place and knew I would have to give it more than a chapter to get to the good stuff.

I will have to say that I now think that I am a new fan of Lisa Kessler, and I am so ready to read the other stories that are a part of the Night Series. I love that she is not repetitive with descriptions as some romance writers can be. I loved the character development and growth that you saw with Rita, and of course who would not love Kane! The idea of shape-shifting,and immortality both really appealed to me as well. My brain was in overload, but in a good way. I kept chanting to myself. "vampires, gods, and a thief. Oh my!". I have also become someone who loves nothing more than to be able to dive into the world, based and the description. With the mention of actual places in Paris, slight French here and there, and just the overall descriptions given I truly felt immersed in this book and the world that was in it!


I am giving this book 4 stars instead of five for two main reasons:
1. While I knew it was a novella from the beginning I wished for more.
2. I for some reason did, as I mentioned, have a bit of trouble getting into in during the first bit.

I cannot wait to start on the first actual book in the Night Series and hope that it grabs me the way that this wonderfully written novella did!!

*In full complete disclosure I was given a free copy of this book to read and review for my honest opinion. This is my honest opinion and was in no way persuaded one way or another by the author or anyone else!
