I really enjoyed the plot twists in this book. They were completely unexpected.
This book has everything to keep and hold my interest! There’s mystery, science, romance, and secrets. I personally enjoyed finding out who the monster truly is. Let me tell you, you will never, in a million years, guess that!
It left me wanting to read more, and luckily for me, The Madman’s Daughter is only the beginning of the trilogy.
For fans of Libba Bray, this first book in a gothic suspense trilogy is inspired by H. G. Wells's The Island of Dr. Moreau and has been hailed by New York Times bestseller Carrie Ryan as having "beautiful writing, breakneck pacing, a pulse-pounding mystery, and an irresistible romance."
Following accusations that her scientist father gruesomely experimented on animals, sixteen-year-old Juliet watched as her family and her genteel life in London crumbled around her—and only recently has she managed to piece her world back together. But when Juliet learns her father is still alive and working on a remote tropical island,…
Okay, yes, I’ll admit. As a grown adult, I reread the Percy Jackson series. I’d like to say it was because of the tv show but the truth is I just thoroughly enjoy the blast from my past.
Percy is an enjoyable little troublemaker. This book is a comfort read for me and I often find myself re-reading it.
The Lightning Thief: the First book in Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson series.
The first bestselling book in Rick Riordan's phenomenally successful Percy Jackson series.
Look, I didn't want to be a half-blood. I never asked to be the son of a Greek God. I was just a normal kid, going to school, playing basketball, skateboarding. The usual. Until I accidentally vaporized my maths teacher. That's when things started really going wrong. Now I spend my time fighting with swords, battling monsters with my friends, and generally trying to stay alive.
This book is the first book of the Fae Senses series. I really enjoyed that the main female character was a certified badass.
It talks about abuse and trauma but the main theme of the book is victim empowerment. The author wrote about her own trauma in this book, so it does get heavy, but the phrase “I am no victim” is said by the main character. I got the sense that trauma doesn’t define you. This is a message that I personally write about, and I often enjoy reading about victims who overcome and even better themselves.
My name is Zera Grey, and I am a former slave who freed herself from the Trades by signing my life to the Black Shadows Guild. It wasn't an easy life but it was way better than captivity and abuse, especially when you consider who my Master was...All that was left was to pay off my dues. Then I could run off to somewhere new and be free from everything. My life would be wholly mine and comfortable. After four years of living with the Black Shadows, learning to fight and use Magic, I'd been requested for a job that'd…
