More Reviews Soon!

Hi there!

I know it's been a while since I last uploaded a review. It's not that I have given up on trying to keep a blog. It's just that after one too many paranormal romance novels I feel that I have exhausted the subject... Especially after a few recent disappointements in awfully-packed-with-clichés paranormal books -see Falling Under &c- I have decided to re-evaluate my stance toward books and obsession with certain genres (parnormal romance & paranormal romance...).

General Thoughts

What a gorgeous cover indeed...

Towering, a modern retelling of Rapunzel, is a book written by Alex Flinn, an author with whom I had an obsession with through the ages of twelve to thirteen.

I finished this book just yesterday and, honestly, the details are already slipping through my mind and moving out of reach.

Existence, Predestined & Ceaseless

Existence (Book 1)

Sufficiently developed characters. Easy-to-relate-to narrator (Pagan). Delicious relationships between protagonists. Thought-through plot. Interesting back-story.

Existence was exactly my cup of tea. Although calling a book about Death "a cup of tea" is an interesting way to put it...

Before you run away from that gruesome comment read a summary of the book here.

And let me tell you: it is quiet difficult not to swoon over Death.

Predestined (Book 2)

Main Characters

Dank

Where to begin? Dank is sweet, kind, loving, possessive, aggressive, selfless and selfish. He is also lethal. Literally. He is Death. A Deity around since the beginning of time, with sole companion the souls he collects, without the ability to feel petty human emotions. Until he meets...

Pagan

Pagan never once felt like a Mary-Sue... Okay, maybe once. Anyway, she is stubborn, understanding, compassionate, honest, mature and polite. She almost deserves him. After he meets her, she becomes Dank's whole existence.
