RAW BLUE by Kirsty Eagar

April 8, 2014

Raw Blue is one of those books with a very apt title. It indeed is a raw book. It’s a book about finding yourself, dealing with or avoiding the past (whichever way you see it) and coming to terms with family differences. There’re a lot of reasons for Carly to be down but she has…

PIROUETTE by Robyn Bavati

February 8, 2014

Once in a while I pick up a book solely because of the author. I’ve read a book by that author before, loved it and decided to just go ahead and read whatever comes next. That’s how it went for Pirouette. Besides knowing that this book revolves around dance (I mean, duh, the title and…

DARK STAR (The Rosie Black Chronicles #3) by Lara Morgan

January 20, 2014

DARK STAR (The Rosie Black Chronicles #3) by Lara MorganAfter I was done reading Dark Star, I was pretty satisfied with how the trilogy ended. While I didn’t yearn for another book to extend the series, I didn’t wish for less either. Three books for this trilogy was the perfect number to build up the story and to wrap it up in the end.

EQUINOX (The Rosie Black Chronicles #2) by Lara Morgan

January 18, 2014

EQUINOX (The Rosie Black Chronicles #2) by Lara MorganEquinox continues right there where Genesis left off. True to all the twists and turns encountered in the first book of the trilogy, this book serves up many surprises. In the same vain, it was also confusing. Once again, questions spring to mind about who belongs to Helios, who belongs to the Senate and who is following Riley. With all the double crossing and switching sides business, I do recommend reading the books one after the other instead of waiting it out and forgetting about the plot altogether.

GENESIS (The Rosie Black Chronicles #1) by Lara Morgan

January 14, 2014

GENESIS (The Rosie Black Chronicles #1) by Lara MorganSpace and Mars aren’t usually my thing but when it comes to Genesis, it turns out that doesn’t really matter. In fact, that setting, along with Earth is what made this book all the more thrilling. Set 500 years into the future, enough humans have settled down on Mars that children are already born on that planet. Pip is one of them, which makes him stand out among the Ferals on Earth, although not any less menacing to Rosie, a Banker.
