This was an interesting story. It takes place right up the road from me so of course I was curious. Especially about a hurricane and seeing dead people. Sign me up. Well the story was good but I kind of felt like it was not as good as it could have been. My humble opinion.
This book is a mess.So there’s this scene where the narrator, Dovey, who’s biracial, describes her skin color and she refers to her complexion as “the soft brown of bread crust”. A person of color would never describe their skin color in this way. Yeah, it’s a common mistake for white authors to describe their non-white characters with food descriptors, but when you have the character themselves describing their skin color as “bread crust”…… It’s just glaringly bad writing. Tip for all the white...
3.5 that I am rounding up. A haunting story of grief, demons, and madness (or not madness), but ultimately one that I didn't connect to as much as I thought/hoped I would.
See more of my reviews on The YA Kitten! My copy was an ARC I received via Amazon Vine.Servants of the Storm is one of those books that wants to fuck with your head so deeply you're in a book coma for a little while afterwards and it's probably going to succeed based on what I read. Jesus, this book is weird. I don't know what else I can say to sum it up for you because it's just so weird.One of the most appreciable elements of the story is the question of reliability hanging around Dovey throug...
Scintillatingly succulent, Servants of the Storm sucks you in with the force of a Frog Strangler and captures you completely with its ferocious, phenomenal grip. I mean that in the most spectacular way possible. The clarity of Ms. Dawson’s writing had this reader picturing bubble-gum pink as my fingertips felt the warmth of rubbing a small hair bead between my forefinger and thumb, in an intriguing déjà-vu type of way. Immediately invested in the courageous teen-aged Dovey, her two best buddies
***SPOLIER ALERT***THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS***I really enjoyed this book, but I initially came away from it feeling like I had missed something or didn't catch on to something that was implied. This bothered me enough that I read some other reviews to see how other readers perceived the story and sure enough, several brought up something I hadn't really considered. First, some backstory. I read this book with the view that everything that was happening to and around Dovey was real. However,...
Servants of the Storm will be one of the most amazing young adult books of 2014. Of that I am sure.That creepy cover! That spine-chilling story! Those unsettling characters! It kept me on the edge almost to the finale. And what a damn awesome ending! The shadowy story is hauntingly beautiful as is the writing and it stays with you for very long, lingering subconsciously night and day. The descriptions of a Savannah destroyed by hurricane Josephine, infested by sinister characters, full of shadow...
Originally posted at The Bookaholic CatMy Verdict: 2 ½ StarsServants of the Storm by Delilah S. Dawson is a book with a great premise and a great start, sadly it stays there.Billie Dove (Dovey) Greenwood lost her best friend, Carly, when Hurricane Josephine hit Savannah. Witnessing Carly being taken away by the storm let Dovey traumatized.After a year of taken antipsychotic pills Dovey is tired of feeling like a zombie and missing periods of time. After seeing Carly at their favorite coffee shop...
I received a free copy from the publishers via Edelweiss. Not entirely sure what to rate this. At times I thought it was beautiful and creepy, but at others I felt it lost a bit of its magic. Nevertheless, Servants of the Storm is one of the best paranormal books I've read in a long time. (4.5 rating, I guess. I don't know. Perhaps I'll change it later. - EDIT. I'm leaving it at 4 stars because it lost it's magic. Still a great read though).After the death of Dovey's best friend, Carly, during H...
Well that was certainly a disappointment. I was initially intrigued by this book's cover, and after skimming the synopsis I was very excited to read it. The questions presented at the beginning of the book really drew me in. I found myself wrapped up in al the mysteries surrounding Dovey's home town and the night her best friend drowned. This was all fine until the book started to become too convoluted for it's own good. Or more like it couldn't handle itself. Lots of aspects went unexplored and...
Review also found at http://kristineandterri.blogspot.ca/2...I received an advanced copy of this book from the publisher Simon Pulse via Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review. The expected publication date is August 5, 2014. This was a highly entertaining young adult read. Fans of the paranormal will certainly enjoy this book as it is full of demons with the main character on a quest to battle them in an effort to save her best friends soul. Add to this a seedy portrayal of Savannah and it
3.5 starsI mean...that ending though. Was not prepared for that.
