April over at Good Books and Good Wine is hosting a 15 day Book Blogger Challenge, which you can read all about here. It seems like a great idea, and I’m loving the idea of putting something random and exciting into my blog at a time when my real life makes me want to sleep rather than blog!
Today we’re talking about the last book we threw across the room. I don’t think I’ve ever actually thrown a book, but here the last two I wanted to!
Icons
You can read my full review here but basically I had high hopes for Icons and ended up being thoroughly disappointed. I found it slow and vague, and didn’t connect to any of the characters.
Silken Bonds
I haven’t reviewed this, because I don’t honestly know where to start. I didn’t particularly enjoy the writing style, I hated the main character and it was, quite frankly, weird (and I don’t mean kinky). I think the characters were intended to come across as uninhibited, sexually liberated, etc, but they came off as downright (I really can’t think of a better word for it) skanky. And also creepy.
What a pity regarding Icons, I thought that it being written by Margaret Stohl it’d be good but there has been plenty of negative reviews about Icon, so your certainly not the only one 😀
