Today I'm going to give you some short reviews of books I've read in the last couple of weeks, but never reviewed in full. This could have been because I couldn't really think of what to say about it or lack of time.
Not a Drop to Drink by Mindy McGinnis
I know many other reviewers absolutely loved this book, but I wasn't really blown away by it.
The romance was unnecessary in my eyes, the backstory of why the world suddenly had no water wasn't explained and I found the end a bit rushed. I did like how Lynn's character developed during the story, she became more trusting and friendlier.
Stars: ★★★
My Soul to Take (Soul Screamers #1) by Rachel Vincent
This was quite a short book. I liked the paranormal concept of this book, the soul screamers, it was original. I did not really like the romance, it seemed like the boy only liked the girl once he figured out she was like him. Except for the boy, Nash, I liked the characters and they have a lot of potential. The book introduces a mystery and I'm curious to see how it unfolds in the rest of the series.
Stars: ★★★
Perfect Ruin (The Internment Chronicles #1)
by Lauren DeStefano
The book starts off pretty slow and the story gradually builds up. I did not really get the backstory of Internment and the whole thing with the edge. I did like the romance (for once), Basil and Morgan were sweet together. The book ends in quite a cliffhanger, unfortunately. I think the story has a lot of potential and I will definitely read the next book.
Stars: ★★★1/2
I agree with your review of Perfect Ruin, although the romance was a bit meh for me. I just didn't connect with the characters, but I did enjoy the story and I didn't totally understand the edge either. Definitely a cliffhanger, so I'm looking forward to reading the next one. ~Pam
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard a lot of amazing things about Perfect Ruin, sadly. I still really want to read it and Not a Drop to Drink, though. Hopefully, I'll like them better.
ReplyDeleteIf you get into the Soul Screamer series a lot more happened. I wasn't wowed by it and I never finished the series but you're right about it being short. Don't worry a lot of bloggers agreed with you on the book Not A Drop of Rain! I don't think I'll be picking it up anytime soon
