Random Reads Review – Scorched by Mari Mancusi

Random Reads Review – Scorched by Mari Mancusi

I bought this book when I went to the Barbara Vey Reader’s Luncheon back in April. I have to confess that it was the cover that really drew me in. Mari was super sweet and she was so excited over the cover – the actual hardcover (under the sleeve) is texturized and feels like dragon scales!  Plus it’s awesomely beautiful. I also bought Mancusi’s The Blood Coven Vampires, so watch for a review of that one […]

Review – How I Fall by Anne Eliot

Review – How I Fall by Anne Eliot

I’ve been a big fan of Anne Eliot ever since I read Unmaking Hunter Kennedy, which was just a really sweet, really fun read. So, when I saw that she was going to be signing at BEA, I jumped at the chance to meet her. I thought I’d just be getting a signed copy of Unmaking, but was really happily surprised to see find out that she was giving away ARCs of her newest book […]

ARC Review & Giveaway – The Jewel by Amy Ewing

ARC Review & Giveaway – The Jewel by Amy Ewing

The Jewel is an incredibly intriguing new dystopian/fantasy read (I’m actually not sure what the genre for this one technically is – it felt like a bit of a blend of the two). It follows Violet, who has been forced into the strange life of a surrogate – trained to live among the royalty, but owned like a slave. When she starts her new life, she finds that it is much more dangerous than she […]

The New Look!

The New Look!

Feed Your Fiction Addiction has a new look (and a new URL)! You may have noticed that things look a little different here at FYFA. That’s because I switched over to WordPress! The formatting may still be changing a bit as I work out the kinks and figure out what I do and don’t like. Also, you’ll notice that my older posts are looking a bit bereft – all of my comments are missing!  I’m […]

Review & Giveaway – Gypsy by Trisha Leigh

Review & Giveaway – Gypsy by Trisha Leigh

Gypsy was taken in as a baby by a secret group that shelters (and experiments on) children with abilities, who they’ve dubbed the Cavies. But while Gypsy’s friends have impressive abilities like invisibility, super speed, and the ability to set things on fire, Gypsy can only see the age at which someone will die when she touches them. This ability is not only not particularly useful, but it makes Gypsy constantly feel like she’s walking […]

Review – Fool’s Assassin by Robin Hobb

Review – Fool’s Assassin by Robin Hobb

I cannot even begin to tell you how excited I was to see that Hobb was writing a new book about Fitz!  As much as I have loved all of her books, the Farseer Trilogy and the Tawny Man Trilogy have always held a special place in my heart.  I couldn’t wait to see what Hobb had in store for Fitz (and the Fool!) next! Let me start by saying that you really need to […]
