Review: Along Came a Spider

Along Came a Spider Along Came a Spider by James Patterson
My rating: 1 of 5 stars

A list of quotes I absolutely hated (spoiler free):
"Laura Douglas was her nameo-nameo."
"Elementary, my dear Gary."
"He was going to take a little peekaboo right now."
"Just keep it away from me if you decide to pukeski again."

TLDR; I couldn't take this story or any of its characters seriously. There was no real mystery aspect because we were told everything the antagonist was doing. Ending was incredibly predictable. Have to say, I expected more from James Patterson.

Snow Like Ashes: A YA How-To

If you want to learn how to write cliche YA fiction, Snow Like Ashes  by Sara Raasch can show you exactly how. The main character, Meira, is a cookie cutout heroine; tough and not like the other girls, but cursed with the unique challenge of having to decide between two handsome and charming men. These men are basically the same, yet Meira is being forced to marry one while the other she can't have. If you predicted that she falls in love with the one she doesn't want to marry, though, you'd be right! There's barely any conflict between them, and I found their relationship to be boring. Mather, on the other hand, is the king, and therefore Meira can't be with him. Even though they are both homeless refugees from a ruined kingdom, somehow she still isn't worthy of him. Maybe this is Winter culture, I don't know since we don't get to learn much about any of the kingdoms' cultures.  I saw the plot twist at the end coming from a mile away. I'm sure...

Review: Warcross

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.
