Review, Interview & Giveaway – The Guardians by T.M. Franklin

Nicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction Giveaways (Ended), Reviews 3 ★★★★½

The Guardians is an exciting sequel to MORE – I loved this book even more than the first book in the series!! We get to learn more about the Race and see our favorite characters put in all sorts of perilous situations – what else can you ask for? The negatives: Could have used more Caleb and Ava? This is honestly getting very nitpicky. While thinking about this book, this is the only negative I could really come up with, but it didn’t even bother me all that much. Since the book starts out three months after book #1 ended, Caleb and Ava’s relationship has advanced quite a bit. We get to see their new bond, but Caleb and Ava are separated for a good portion of The Guardians, so we don’t get to see that relationship really develop as much as you might like. However, see below for an… Read more »

Review – Prodigal by Rektok Ross

Nicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction Reviews 0 ★★★★

Title: Prodigal Author: Rektok Ross Release Date: January 13, 2013 Pages: 329, Paperback Goodreads Rating: 4.36 stars My Rating: 4/5 stars My Content Rating: PG (No more than kissing) Summary from Goodreads: It was supposed to be Lexy Quinn’s year. The hard-working wallflower has finally landed the coveted spot as Editor of her school’s newspaper. Then the rug is ripped out from under her when she finds out her mom is sick, and the family is moving half-way across the country to Preston Hills, Texas. Lexy can’t think of a worse place to be than at a school full of snobby rich kids where she’ll have to start all over to get people to notice her writing, or–who is she kidding?—notice her at all. When the most swoon-worthy boy in town, who also happens to be the jock celebrity quarterback, gives her an exclusive interview, Lexy’s life takes an unexpected turn. Ash Preston is the perfect guy and,… Read more »

Review & Giveaway – Lichgates by S.M. Boyce

Nicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction Giveaways (Ended), Reviews 1 ★★★★½

Buy Links: Amazon I Barnes & Noble Lichgates is an incredibly inventive fantasy adventure, full of danger, magic and mythical creatures! When Kara finds and opens a mysterious book, she doesn’t realize that she has just become the Vagabond – fated to bring peace to the strange land of Ourea (or die trying). She suddenly finds herself thrown into a war between Ourean races that has been brewing for centuries – and not everyone wants her to live long enough to bring peace. Many of those who do, see her as a pawn who is to be used in their game of politics and revenge. Ourea is a frightening place and Kara would not be able to survive on her own. Luckily, she has Braeden to help her. But Braeden has his own reasons for wanting to protect Kara – he needs the Grimoire to escape his ties to the savage… Read more »

Top Ten Tuesday – Covers I Wish I Could Redesign

Nicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction Top Ten Tuesday 0

Today’s Top Ten Tuesday is: Top Three Covers I Wish I Could Redesign I actually had a really hard time with this one. While there are plenty of bad covers out there, most of them are for books that I don’t have any special love for so I wouldn’t care enough to redesign them. So, instead I’m just showing two covers I wish I could redesign and then showing some that have already been redesigned (and they’re much better!) The Fault in Our Stars by John Green – I just never really got this cover. It’s a little too basic for me – and why clouds instead of stars? Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer – What’s the significance of the red ribbon? Am I forgetting something huge from the book? I don’t know, but this just looks dumb to me. Girls Love Travis Walker by Anne Pfeffer – This book was SO good –… Read more »
