Review: The Sea of Monsters

The Sea of Monsters by Rick Riordan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Cute book. I think it's time I should catch up on Rick Riordan books, I feel like I'm missing out on so much. ;__;

Shoutout to my library who only had like 2 Percy Jackson ebooks but somehow they all magically appeared a week after reading this. B)

Tyson's cool. Percy's just like younger me, so it hurts sometimes that he's so relatable.

Review: There's Someone Inside Your House

There's Someone Inside Your House by Stephanie Perkins
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I am shook.

Thriller novels are difficult to get right. We've heard every case a thousand times before, whether it's other books, shows, movies, the news, etc. I feel like writing a YA thriller could be even more difficult. While there is a murder mystery, YA technically shouldn't have the sex, blood, gore, etc. of adult novels.

Perkins did a great job making the mystery intriguing as well as give us a love story. The couple isn't exactly the power couple we all dream of while reading romance novels, but you can't have everything. (Also, romance is probably pretty difficult when your neighbors are getting brutally murdered.)

The story isn't exactly scary, but it did keep me on the edge of my seat for a while. I actually ended up having nightmares about the types of murders in this book (so good job, Perkins).
