The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner | Review

This book was an out of nowhere kind of read. I didn't even know it existed until recently.

Although I think the point of view of Bree was valuable, I think it could have been any newborn vampire that was in the book. The book was very fan-fic (may or may not be appropriate?) and don't think it really needed to be published.

I can only recommend this to someone younger myself, someone who actually enjoyed this series more than I did.

Overall the book was just OK and can only give the book 3 stars on Goodreads.

The Sea Witch | Review

Well, this one was a surprise.  My expectations weren't to low, but I'm surprised it exceeded them so much too.

Serena Is one of Prince Tritan's maids. She is in love with him, but one thing is holding her back. Not being a maid, but a sea witch. She must prove herself to get the love of her life, but to do that she must deceive, plot and murder.

As much as you pity and want her to succeed at the start of the book, by the end you will have the opposite reaction. You will totally understand by the end of the book.

Her character was very well developed and I loved to hate Prince Tritan's mother. The characters in general were great and the plot was good. Going by the end of this book the rest of the series should be very interesting to say the least.

I look forward to the next book and this one gets a solid 4 stars on Goodreads.

Carry On | Review

I was hoping I'd like this as much as Fan-girl, but unfortunately it didn't live up to that expectation. Though for published fan fiction I can't say I expected much more (even when published by the author).

Some of the things in this book are pretty good. For example, the friendship and love type interests were written reasonably well. Then it started to fall apart. 

The first part of the book was very slow and not much really happened, until a certain character is introduced. Even then most of the action happens all at once, leaving a gaping whole for any kind of action during the remainder of the book. The pacing on this could have been improved.

You don't really need to read Fan-girl before reading this book, though If you've read Harry Potter, you'll understand the references this book has. 

Overall this book was a mix of just OK and meh, so I can push this to a 2.5 stars on Goodreads.

Breaking Dawn | Review

Overall I found that this book was pretty good, though I have a couple of issues with it.

The first is that I found Jacob to still be very irritating throughout his point of view. Some of his perspective was necessary, but most of it dragged and was annoying beyond belief. I wish his character could've developed into a less irritating and more understanding more level headed character.

The only other problem is that because I found Jacobs perspective to drag, I think it could have been shortened by around 100 pages, allowing the important parts to be more exciting rather than taking an age and be horribly boring in the process.

Other than that, the book itself was better than the previous three and gets 3/5 stars on Goodreads.
