Aftertime ( Aftertime, bk 1) by Sophie LittlefieldPublisher: Luna
Publication Date: February 22nd 2011
Aftertime is a post apocalyptic/dystopian zombie story. Cass is trying to find her 3 yr. old daughter after they were separated when Cass was taken by the zombies. Somehow Cass survives the zombie attack and gets better. I immediately got sucked into the story in the beginning, the middle is a bit slower but still enjoyable. My problem is with the end, it is so anti-climatic and all over the place. The feel of the ending didn't really match up with the rest. 3 stars

The Flight of Gemma Hardy by Margot Livesey
Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers
Publication Date: January 24th 2012
The Flight of Gemma Hardy is a modern retelling of Jane Eyre. I have not read Jane Eyre yet, but I hope that Jane is more interesting than Gemma. There is a lot of boring mundane fillers in this book, like Gemma got up and fed the pigs and cooked this and that. Blah! 2 Stars

Darkly Dreaming Dexter (Dexter, bk 1) by Jeffrey LindseyPublisher: Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group
Original Publication Date: July 20th 2004
Fascinating look into the mind of a sociapath. Dexter is a killer but since he only kills bad people, he thinks he's actually doing us a favor. Dexter is a very cold and distant character, he lacks any emotions. I enjoyed the simplicity of the writing and story. 4 stars
Oh man I heard a lot of good things about Gemma, but for whatever reason I still wasn't interested in reading it. You've convinced me to not worry about it.
ReplyDeleteOh, that Gemma book sounds kind of bad! :( that's sad.
