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.

POSSESSION by Elena Johnson

July 3, 2013

Book cover of POSSESSION (Possession #1) by Elena JohnsonI still am surprised that I made it past the first 100 pages and went on to complete Possession. The writing was mechanical and some parts made next to no sense. Sure, Vi’s world is not a world that we know, so things naturally are different. No matter how different and imaginative her world is though, it is possible to weave in explanations into the story without stilting the writing. Sadly, I was confused and and hated the stilted writing style.
