Jessica Rules the Dark Side by Beth Fantaskey
"Si," Raniero confirmed. "I am fortunate that those who witnessed my act did not destroy me that night."
--Pg. 136 of "Jessica Rules the Dark Side" by Beth Fantaskey
I've got to say I'm not as wild about this one I was hoping I'd be. I've still got about half the book left so I'm really hoping it picks up and leaves me breathless like the first!
What's your teaser?

Great Top Ten list! We have a few in common---and few that were on my original list that I had to pare down to get to 10! :D I need to read Divergent! I seems to be on everyone's list!
ReplyDeleteLove the list - I haven't read any of those books yet - but Anna & Mara are on my "to be read" list.
ReplyDeleteI'm reading this one right now. I didn't remember the first one very well until I got into this one and saw the chapters from alternate viewpoints. I will have to admit that I am finding Lucius's letters entertaining. I have a teaser from Winterling by Sarah Prinieas and from Magic Gifts by Ilona Andrews this week. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI loved Divergent too! It's such a good book, isn't it? And I'm currently reading Matched, which I'm really liking!
ReplyDeleteI just read Wither a few weeks ago, and followed it immediately with Fever and was BLOWN AWAY. I couldn't believe the beauty of the writing mixed with the horrific nature of the story. It was incredible. Definitely on my list as well. I put Fever on there too, even though it wasn't released in 2011. I also just recently read Divergent (later than most people!) and liked it, even though I didn't put it on my list.
ReplyDeleteIt was so hard to narrow down to just 10. This was really a great, great year for books, and I also read some from past years for the first time that I really loved. Your list is so great - and the ones that I haven't read yet are all on my TBR. We think similarly. :)
The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer is on my list, too! It's such a great book and I can't wait for the sequel!!! (:
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
I'm actually really looking forward to Jessica Rules the Dark Side.

Great list. I've read most of these (and love them) and the rest are already on my TBR list!
