"Nevernight" by Jay Kristoff

In Nevernight by Jay Kristoff, Mia Corvere is a young girl whose father was executed for being a traitor and her mother put in chains.  Mia wants revenge in the worst way, but how?  She is befriended by an old man who put her in a place with the deadliest assassins on earth--Assassin School.  She must beat her fellow students to get revenge but can she?

I enjoyed this book a lot.  Mia is a great character and the story flowed along well.

Karen's thoughts:
This was a Did Not Finish one for Karen.  She barely started and gave up on it because of the writing, the narration was annoying for her (reminded her of The Book Thief which she did not care for either for the same reason.  She just couldn't get into it.

"Under the Lights" by Abbi Glines

In Under the Lights by Abbi Glines, Willa, Gunner and Brady were childhood friends but now are all playing with problems in the same high school.  Can the bond they made as kids hold up?  The three main characters take turns telling the story.  I liked them all, but enjoyed Gunner the best.

This book was a bit slow at first (causing my wife to give up on it and move on to something else), but around mid-point, it really picked up.  I enjoyed the first book in this series better, but this one was also enjoyable for me.

Teaser Tuesday

Karen's:

"If you are living here, that would be good to bear in mind," she advised.  "Sometimes life interferes with all our best intentions."

From page 24 of The Loyal Heart by Shelley Shepard Gray.

Gerard's:

"And you think he'll do this?"  Roosevelt looked at the photo and then handed it back to Strauss.

From Page 50 of The One Man by Andrew Gross.



Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Books and a Beat. Anyone can play along, so I thought  I  would play for fun! Just pick two sentences from the book you are reading.

"The One Man" by Andrew Gross is FANTASTIC!

In The One Man by Andrew Gross, a man has escaped after the Nazis have killed his family.  He is safe and is working to help the war effort to defeat the Germans, but would love to do more.  One day he is offered the chance to do just that, but this mission is next to impossible to pull off.

WOW!  You talk about a page turner--this book is FANTASTIC!  I flew through it!  The story is that good and the writing is outstanding!  This would make a very good movie.  LOVED IT!  A must read!
