Review: The Warrior Heir by Cinda Williams Chima Jack takes medicine to help his heart, or so he thinks. Instead he finds out rather unexpectantly that the medicine represses the warrior stone in his chest and he is now a chess piece in a game he never intended to play.

That being said, this book was...

Review: Tiger’s Voyage by Coleen Houck Kelsey is caught still trying to forget Ren but cannot. She is in more than a love triangle as every young man on the boat practically is throwing themselves at her. She is trying to find feelings for Kishan, but still loves Ren too much.

It didn’t really get into anything too in depth and Kelsey finally did what Ren wanted, only to find he didn’t really want that. Now she is committed and...

Review: Insurgent by Veronica Roth Tris and Four (now going by Tobias) are left on the run trying to find out what the secret is that caused the two factions to attack the other faction. They know that her former faction was not destroyed just to take over the other groups but for some piece of information. The only questions are: can Tris find the information before the factionless destroy everything and will Tobias trust her and her gut feeling. I would have to say, this book felt a bit slower in pace than the first book. But how could it not be? Divergent was action from start to finish. In this...
