Book Review: The Passion

Hi everyone,
I recently finished The Passion by L.J. Smith. I gave this book 3.5 out of 5 stars on Goodreads. You can see more about what this book is abouhere before heading in to my review.  The is the third in the Dark Visions series. You can check out my October Wrap up and November TBR to see it and the other books I'm reading this month. You can also check out my review of the first book here The Strange Power and the second book The Possessed

Now hopping on in to the review and this is spoiler free:  I was pretty excited for this last book in the trilogy after finishing The Possessed. To keep this spoiler free, I'll just say that some crazy stuff happens at the end of The Possessed which leads Kait and her friends back to the institute and surrounding area. I think this is where this book got a little slow though since Kait was determined to solve the problem on her own. I really liked her being with all the other characters from the past books. The whole point was for her and her friends to stick together. I felt like we had a lot of her waiting time at the institute meet previous psychics that we really didn't need since this is the last book in the series. 
Also I think too there was just so much waiting for the end. But at least the end was super good and action packed and I didn't know if Kait and her friends were going to be able to make it though till then. It was definitely suspenseful. Which I totally live for. 
Another good point is that our love triangle gets a little messy, I'll just leave it there so you can read this one to find out. Over all as a last book I was left wanting a little more action. I would still recommend this book especially if you've read the other ones which were considerable better just so you can see how the trilogy wraps up and what happens to Kait.

Book Review: The Possessed

Hi everyone,
I recently finished The Possessed by L.J. Smith. I gave this book 4 out of 5 stars on Goodreads. You can see more about what this book is abouhere before heading in to my review.  The is the second in the Dark Visions series. You can check out my October Wrap up and November TBR to see it and the other books I'm reading this month. You can also check out my review of the first book here The Strange Power. 


Now hopping on in to the review and this is spoiler free: Number one I really enjoyed this book and I was interested to see where this series when after the first one. Again we have our main characters of Kait, Rob, Gabriel, Anna and Lewis who have all set out to escape the Institute that they were sent to since some crazy stuff happened at the end of the last book. 
I don't think this book had to middle book syndrome too bad. There were some parts that were a bit repetitive through out the first half. I think these could have just been speed up a little since literally the last 40 or so pages is jammed packed full of information and action. I wish there could have been a little more time spent on this last 40 page section since we have an introduction to new characters and history of how Kait and her friends ended up with these psychic powers.
I definitely think this is worth a read if you have the time. For me this book only took about a week if that. It's super short so you can pretty much fly though them. Also, can we take a minute to acknowledge how bad this cover is? I definitely think the bind up cover is better but it doesn't show a cover for each book. Anyway, I would definitely recommended this and the first one in the series since they are overall really good and entertaining

Book Review: A Strange Power

Hi everyone,
I recently finished A Strange Power by L.J. Smith. I gave this book 4 out of 5 stars on Goodreads. You can see more about what this book is abouhere before heading in to my review.  The is the first in the Dark Visions series. You can check out my October TBR to see it and the other books I'm reading this month. 


Now hopping on in to the review and this is spoiler free: I first started this book not really knowing what to expect, except that from attempting to read The Vampire Diaries which is also by this author that it may not be very good. Boy was a surprised by the one though, I really enjoyed it and the whole concept of kids going to an institute to learn about their powers. It almost gave me Fallen kinda of vibes except with out the angels and there is a bit of a love triangle between our main characters. The love triangle is definitely not too over done though like in some YA, its very subtle, which leaves more time for actual story building and other characters. I gotta say I really like the mix of characters that the book has since we have a mix of good guy, bad guy, nerd and hippie and each character has a different set of powers. So cool. I also love the fact that this was a super fast read. I think I read in about a week which is really pretty fast for me. I know the horrible cover art doesn't do it justice but I think overall this is a pretty good book and I can't wait to see where the rest of the series goes. I would definitely give this one a read if you get the chance.
