The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner Review
Alright, I lied in the previous review when I said I was done with the series. There’s one more piece of the larger Twilight universe. A non essential piece technically as it has no bearing on Bella’s story in the big picture but provides an interesting glimpse into the life of newborns. The novella follows…

Quarentine Princess Diaries
Ah yes, the long awaited return of Mia Thermopolis of Genovia. Or maybe not so much long awaited but a fun surprise! Much like Royal Wedding, Mia’s story ended nicely with her tenth diary but it is such a delight to see the familiar cast of characters and how they’ve grown especially in the most…

Midnight Sun Review
Alright, here we are at the end of the Twilight saga or I suppose the beginning since this Twilight from Edward’s POV. . . and I still have to get to the Bree Tanner novella. Eh, let’s skip the accuracies of my statements and get into Midnight Sun. There’s no need to go over plot…

Breaking Dawn Review
The grand finale to the whole Twilight saga is here! And I’ll admit, I was a lot more aware of the major plot points that the other books because I had saw Breaking Dawn Part 2 (yes, just Part 2, I was only interested in the big Voluturi fight. Apparently I have as much bloodlust…

Eclipse Review
Just with New Moon, I raced through this novel almost as eager as Bella to see the final outcome. Will Victoria finally be vanquished? Will Edward give in? Will Jacob ever accept being friend-zoned?

The last book in the Matched trilogy brings forth loss and new beginnings. The Rising finally breaches the Society, but their methods may lead to their downfall as the cure for the Plague that they had spread throughout the cities have triggered anuncurable mutation. Now the Society is trying to wrest control from the Rising…
