Romance

The Nutcracker and the Mouse King

January 12, 2022 by Mary Tilden
The Nutcracker and the Mouse King

It fills the girl’s need for romance, and it satisfies the boy’s need for adventure. It opens the mind to new and heartwarming images. Overall, it is a tale that was written well and makes for great reading.

Bad Blood

Bad Blood

I laughed, cried, grimaced, and shouted throughout each story, from the first to the last book in The Naturals. I wish it never had to end.

All In

All In

I give this book a 5/10 rating. The last third had stretched unbearably long, so long that it felt more like the last half was pure problem solving.

Killer Instinct

August 19, 2021August 12, 2021 by Mary Tilden

All five teen prodigies introduced in Barnes’ first novel of the series The Naturals are back and rowdier than before. Their knack for getting into trouble also seems to escalate as Cassie and the others learn of the most recent serial killer case that seems to center around Dean’s father…

The Naturals

August 19, 2021August 10, 2021 by Mary Tilden

While reading about a serial killer may not be everyone’s cup of tea, Barnes’ knack for writing a good teen drama makes this book perfect for any reading woman who enjoys a bit of angst and romance.

The Inheritance Games

August 12, 2021August 6, 2021 by Mary Tilden

No one can read The Inheritance Games and simply walk away, unmoved or untouched, from Barnes’ romance, angst, and mystery.

Touched: The Caress of Fate

August 12, 2021July 28, 2021 by Mary Tilden

Reading Touched: The Caress of Fate by Elisa S. Amore was a journey, an experience, and a time that shall always be remembered.

The Vampire Diaries: The Reunion

August 12, 2021June 23, 2021 by Mary Tilden

All my complaining about the previous two novels might be put to rest after I read the emotionally-driven, action-oriented ending of the fourth book.

The Vampire Diaries: The Fury

August 12, 2021May 27, 2021 by Mary Tilden

Would it be worse to have a stunningly-beautiful vampire kill you, or to be turned into a blood-sucking vampire yourself?

The Vampire Diaries: The Struggle

August 12, 2021May 21, 2021 by Mary Tilden

Some innocence was lost in L.J. Smith’s story about the vampire brothers and Elena Gilbert, but the conclusion to the second novel is way beyond what I could have ever imagined.
