The Uninvited by Cat WintersMy rating: 5 of 5 stars This may sound a bit forward and weird, but this author’s stories I could just swallow whole, because I can’t get enough of her wonderful story telling and read fast enough to discovery another gem that she created.The main character was such a mysterious reading pleasure to get to know. She was easy to identify with, partly because I saw a little bit of myself in her, but mostly because the author’s ability to create multidimensional characters is just absolutely amazing. The interaction she created between the protagonist and the secondary characters is superbly executed. She is part of the…

The Cure for Dreaming by Cat WintersMy rating: 5 of 5 stars I never judge a book by its cover.

Mostly because of personal reasons, since she was a great character to get to know. The chemistry between the female and male protagonists was not as intense, although…

These Broken Stars (Starbound #1) by Amie Kaufman & Meagan Spooner
These Broken Stars by Amie KaufmanMy rating: 5 of 5 stars What a beautiful story. This story was the beginning of my interest in stories that are set in space. The plot was filled with adventure, humour and heart-melting romance. It was to the point and did not waver with unnecessary tangents that would have diminished the impact of the main story.The characters were perfectly created and developed. I loved the character of Lilac and her chemistry with Tarver. I was completely enthralled by their story and their interaction with each other.The writing was wonderful. I admired the author’s ability to create such beauty in the vast spaces of the…
