review 1: Not sure if I would have loved this as much if not for the fact that the Scarlet Pimpernel is one of my favorite books, but I enjoyed this sci-fi adaptation a lot. The characters were cute and their struggles relatable. This book didn't feel quite so dangerous as the original- I ...

review 1: This book was great! At first I planned on reading it for a school project, but the book was a little too inappropriate for my catholic school (you have to be a virgin to be a unicorn hunter). I decided to keep reading though. It may not be the best book, but it is definitely a b...

review 1: I usually opt for the originals when it comes to stuff, including books. However, I loved this book. It's a wonderful retelling that I thought was a nice blend of the original story premise with a splash of the dystopian genre- while the world the story was based in was very much...

review 1: The only one thing that sucks for me in this book is the fact that I read it before the first one. So I guess the problem is with me, and not the book. Because really, how could anyone have problems with it? My god, this book could be a book by itself. The main character, Astrid,...

review 1: I'm about to begin For The Darkness Shows The Stars and I remembered I had a prequel on my kindle so I read this first. At the beginning it's confusing because I knew nothing of the series but several chapters into it you get an idea of the world Kai lives in and the struggles th...

review 1: I read this short story in a collection of short stories (Kiss Me Deadly). I didn't really get how it was related to the topic of paranormal love, and I didn't really enjoy it. I didn't love Rampant, Peterfreund's first unicorn book, either, so it shouldn't be a shock. But this s...

review 1: Honestly, I was disappointed in this book. I had great reviews for the previous three books and as the last in the series I had such high expectations, for which it fell short. I thought Amy’s character wasn’t as strong as she appeared in the other books. I also felt like ther...

review 1: Peterfreund brings a new and fresh concept to the fantasy world. She twists the ideas of unicorns into something friegtening and scary. The appeal of this book is it's difference in ideas and themes. The unicorn-hunters are likable and well-developed characters that grow on you. ...

review 1: I love Diana Peterfreund, but I had a huge problem with For Darkness Shows the Stars. A prequel is not meant to confuse you. It is meant to give a little backstory, to explain what the first book didn't in more detail. True, reading the book before the prequel helps a bit, but it...

review 1: Despite several attempts, I never read Persuasion but this book makes me want to get a copy and actually get on reading it.The narrative is descriptive of its surroundings and characters are given depth without drowning its readers to a bore. I like that balance the author gives ...

review 1: Rating 2.5I admit that I thought that this book would take place in space or traveling due to the cover of this book. I was sadly mislead because I was really looking forward to reading about space and traveling. This story takes place in a Post-Apocalyptic world where there are ...

review 1: I enjoyed following Astrid's story and her continued training in unicorn hunting. This book didn't flow as well or grab my interest as much as the first book (Rampant) did. Astrid is presented with the opportunity to "guard" a herd of einhorns in France and is mislead by both h...

review 1: "OMG POE!!!" That's what I yelled when I finished this book. And that's all I'm going to say on the Poe front since I don't want to ruin the book for anyone that reads this review. This book was a great way to end this series. It's Tap season so Amy Haskel's society experience ha...
