Title: Eventide Author: Sarah Goodman Series: n/a A good debut! I would like to thank Sarah Goodman, Macmillan-Tor/Forge, and NetGalley for allowing me to read a free ARC in exchange for an honest review. This book was pretty good! It was paced and structured well, and while I didn’t particularly like Verity, she was a strong, independent character whom I certainly cared about and wanted things to work out for. I think what I mostly disliked about her was that …

Title: Evermore Author: Alyson Noel Series: Immortals #1 Twilight knock-off, pathetic characters, ridiculous paranormal elements Well. I’ll start off by saying that I listened to the audiobooks of the first and second books of this series, and I’m not sure if I’ll listen to the others. They’re narrated by Katie Schorr, who has potential but was by no means skilled at the point when she recorded these. I hope she’s gotten better with practice. She reads in a pleasant, engaging …
