Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins Review

Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Well I can honestly say that the book wasn't quite what I thought it would be. It's still really good but not as good as the first 2. I wish there was more romance that went on between Peeta and Katniss because I didn't really feel it too much. Also, Katniss just seemed really broken in this book which is understandable but it felt like her character got dulled down a bit. She wasn't the Katniss I was used to in the previous books. There was a lot of action and death scenes which made for a tearful book especially towards the end. I would still recommend this book as a good read.

Alpha Trailer-Rachel Vincent

So if you haven't read the "Shifters" series by Rachel Vincent then STOP what you are doing and rush to your local bookstore. This series has everything a girl could want. It has romance, mystery, comedy, tear felt moments and not to mention kick butt action. I'm going to be so bummed when I get to the end of "Alpha" because then that means it's over. Oh the misery.....but until then I will be jumping with anticipation until Sept. 28th when "Alpha" comes out. Enjoy!!!
