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.

Hexx Hall Series Review by Rachel Hawkins

Hello everyone, Today I am going to do a review on a Supernatural series. I feel like I have not done one of these in a while and I am wanting to give you a bit of a mix, so you can pick and choose depending on what you are in the mood for. This series is 3 Books and they are great. Here they are in order: 

Note: Click on the name of the books and it will take you to the amazon web site to purchase each book. 
By Rachel Hawkins 
This series is a book after each other, so they stay on the same theme continuesly, but it's not all in the same place, and of course as the book progressed the story does too. One thing I love about it is the fact that the books are quite long, there 337-350 pages each, there is plenty to read, and really not very many "fill in" chapters. Those quite honestly I have no patience for,(that goes for fill in chapters that quite frankly feel like they do not belong there or 100 pages so called books...), I love that this author is very good at not boring your brains out with family history and flash backs. There is just enough in there to make you want more, but not enough of it that you will feel the need for coffee break...
 I love that this authors way of writing completely transported me to Hex Hall, the narrative was explicit and at the same time intriguing. How did this place came to exist, why does it have the magic that it has and who put it there? How will this all come together into Sophie's life? Who will she choose... If you likes the Vampire Academy books and want to read something similar, then this is a great series for you. Sophie is a normal girl, until she is not. She can do things that other teens can't do and is causing quite the commotion because of it in the regular world. All of this leads her to Hex Hall, the reformatory school for kids who have no grasp what so ever on their powers... I hope that did not spoil the books to much for you...
 Now I will tell you what I like about the books: This is one of those fantasies that I wish could be actually true. It's about family and how they take care of each other, even if they are not physically there. Making new friends, getting out of your comfort zone and standing up for yourself. Sophie makes a very good teenage heroine. She will not take crap from other students, will tell you her mind, and knows right from wrong. This how ever, won't prevent her from being set up... But how? Well, you will have to read to find out. All in all, you'll laugh, love the characters, feel like Jenna is also your best friend... This series is a page turner, I read it two years ago and I still remember it and would love to read more from this author as well, since at the time this was all I could find. How ever doing research to be able to bring you the most updated information today I have found that there is another book by Rachel Hawkins that looks very promising and will be reviewd soon here on he Blog as well. Stay Tuned for Fridays Sassy and Sexy book review. Don't forget to give me a thumbs up if you like it and found this helpful. Hope you have a great book making you company! Xox
