School Spirits Review By Rachel Hawkins.

Hello all,

It has being to long since I did a review here on the Blog. I miss y'all!

I hope you have read wonderful books in my absence and that they filled your days with great adventures. I will love to hear all about it. So please leave your comments below.

Today I will bring another good book to your To Read List.

School Spirits its a Hex Hall Novel-If you do not know about it here is the link to the Review on this blog about it: Hex Hall Series Review -that I had the pleasure of reading about 2 years ago. At first I was very exited by this since I did read the Hex Hall Series (3 books not counting this one) and was in love with it.

If you are one of the readers who has read The Hex Hall series and you are expecting -like me- to have another book in the series. Then I am here to tell you that it's not what you are going to get at all. I was sorry that this was the case. I was looking forward to having another book relating the adventures of Sophie and how all came together for her after all they when trough.

This book how ever is from a totally different perspective and with characters that we know, just not as much in dept.

Izzy is one of the Brannicks. Sophie's cousin on her mother side and this is completely from her perspective. Her life, what she sees and how she sees it.

For me it was another great work from Rachel Hawkins. Even tough it was not what I expected, the little of disappointment I had over was way over weighed by this new trilling story.

Even tough it touches a bit on the same subject and some of the same principles as Hex Hall- Girl is in school, girl makes friends in a new school, etc.- she made it in a way that was not boring on the same as every other book.
I loved that she kept writing in a way that made me want more and more. Information is feed to the reader in a calculated manner. Trusting you with bits and pieces of the story, but never the whole. Not at the same time and not till the end anyways.

I never saw the end coming. The little details is what matter to me, and this one meet all my Must Haves list. Passing with flying colors.

I wish there was a second one to this line of her writing already out there in the market for me to buy ASAP.
The book certainly has a lot more to be told, if there would be a second book after this one, and this would be made another series I would not be surprised at all. There is still a lot to discover that was not uncovered so far, and this has me all exited. Maybe there would be more... I sure Hope so!
As Always I hope y'all enjoy.

Have a great book!

Review of: Tragic By JA Huss Book 1 in the Rook and Ronin Series.

Hello everyone and welcome back to I Geek Books.

Today I thought I'd do a review on this new book since I recently found it and its a series. But not only that, is a series that is complete. So there won't be a gut wrenching feeling and/or a long wait to get to the next book; this for me is always a plus when looking for a series.
If its finished I will most likely buy it more often that if its not.
What about you? I'm now curious to know if you take this into consideration when purchasing a book that is part of a series?
Ok, onto the theme at hand here. Tragic...

I have to tell you, I am very exited to have found this book, exited does not even cover it, I am beyond thrilled. I can't wait to be able to get to Manic; book # 2.

Here are the books in order:
Tragic
Manic
Panic

Also I have all of you to thank for this find since I was looking to see if Three Two One by the same author was in Audible to be able to bring you updated information, since we talked about it last week on the #igeekbooksaudioreview and I could not remember...
And then, there it was, Tragic.

This series is another mater piece of the world of people who are as it is the case, in the right place, at the right time.
Even though is does not make any sense for them to be there or if they feel like they don't belong...
How you can find exactly what you need, or what you think you need in the most unimagined place on earth, the one place you did not picture yourself at, and how if you grab on to something with all your might it can be a stepping stone. A way to achieve what you want to be able to get to your dreams, but also what you think you need to become the person you always tough you should be, and still want to be. Its all about the journey to get from when you are, by circumstances well beyond your control to where you could be by a turn of fate and some luck.

Did I gave to much away? I hope I didn't... The books are written with an attention to detail that is amazing, the descriptions are great and make your feel like you can see the whole book play in your mind just the way the author has created it for you to enjoy. I have loved this story and I hope you will too.

Another great thing about this book is that you can find it in audible (this is how I first found it, looking for Three Two One to see if there was an audible copy of that one) and for me it was great to immerse in the audio book. At this time I have to do a lot daily (I won't bore you with the details) and Audiobooks are my go to source of entertainment.
Unfortunately the other two books as of today (March 19th, 2015) is only on kindle and paperback so far, I could not find copies of Hardcover ones.

And this is all for today, I hope you have enjoyed.
Don't forget to give me a thumbs up and share if you like/found this review helpful.

Have a great rest of the week and a great book to keep you company.
