Dog Ears

City of Ghosts by Victoria Schwab My rating: 4 of 5 stars I've never read any of VE Schwab's middle-grade books before, but I absolutely loved ADSoM and Vicious, so I had to give it a shot. Just because it is middle grade doesn't mean it lacked spooks, action, and characters you fall in love with. It wasn't as complex as any of her other books that I've read, and I did find the ending to be a little predictable, but I still read to the end because I was so invested in the story. I don't read much middle-grade fiction anymore, but I will make an exception for whatever Cassidy Blake adventures Schwab throws our way next. View all my reviews

Warcross by Marie Lu My rating: 3 of 5 stars I couldn't read Warcross without being reminded vividly of Ready Player One. While there were some differences, the story didn't feel original to me, and I was able to predict the plot twist at the end pretty early on in the book. If you like stories where a poor girl with crazy talents gets swept away into a wealthy world she only dreamed of living in so that she can prove to everyone that she deserves to be there, ( like The Selection, Red Queen, etc) this book is for you.
