Book Review – Rock Charisma by Joan P. Cooley

By 3 Comments

Rock Charisma
Ummmm. Nope. No Charisma. Rock, orΒ otherwise.Β This book proved to meΒ that being a “bad boy” or a “rock star” does not guarantee my devoted obsession. Some “bad boys” are just plain bad.Β Lesson learned with this one.

I was considering not reviewing it. However,Β after receiving a few notifications that there was another rock star book out there that I might want to look into (this one), I felt the need to let everyone know, I found it awhile ago, enthusiastically downloaded it (hey it was bargain-priced and looked like it would fulfill my rock star needs),Β but IΒ was sorely disappointed. read more

Awakened (House of Night)
Well, this concludes my House of Night marathon, and it’s been quite the journey. From early “meh” moments, toΒ absolute elation. From heart pounding situations that had me staying up all night indulging, to crestfallen disappointment. I developed an almost unhealthy preoccupation with Erik’s tenuous situation and became bitter towards the author’s mid-series change of heart. And then, a bit of an upturn when the author distracted me with a new and intriguing focus. One thing I can say for sure. This series made me feel and overall, that’s a good thing. Unfortunately, the last few made me feel more drained and aggravated than hungry for more. read more

Burned (House of Night, Book 7)

Zoey’s soul has shattered ’cause Kalona broke her heart, (but not in the way I expected). She is now in Nyx’s realm, as a damaged and fading spirit. Zoey’s body is slowly dying on earth, while her essence in the “Otherworld” is being a total basket case. The pieces that make up, well… “her“, are scattered everywhere and she can’t get aΒ  hold of herself long enough to gather them back.

“If you don’t put yourself back together, you won’t ever leave here because your gonna die, Zoe. I can feel that.” read more
