Just upset the third book doesn’t seem to be happening and we are left with a non ending
There isn't a sequel...there's still loose ends! 😕
While I personally enjoyed this series, I realized after reading the books that a lot of people on Goodreads did not enjoy it at all. In fact, the first few reviews I stumbled upon gave it a 1 star. I honestly found that surprisingly. Though it certainly does not warrant a 5 star for either books, I did not find the books to be appalling. In fact, I found them both quite enjoyable with a few exceptions, of course. Also, I’m fairly certain there is supposed to be a third book because the second b...
I'm so confused!At the end of the last book, which ended with the Christmas Ball, Hayes hates Alex. Apparently no time has passed and no explanation is given, but at the beginning of this book Hayes is still calling Alex her friend and is defending her. Also, there are references to "late winter" and several weeks passing, but then the memorial service is held on New Year's Eve. Wait -- what? Christmas is only six days before New Year's Eve. Even if the Christmas Ball was held on the first of De...
This series confounded me. On the one hand, the premise was great, just really fantastic, and some of the writing was borderline inspired (especially in the first book). There were parts of the writing that honestly reminded me of the Beautiful Creatures books which I think are beautifully written (higher praise from me is nearly impossible to garner). The Garcia books do a spectacular job of transporting you straight back in time with their gothic old world feel and southern charm which can onl...
This book was a ride of secrets. It makes you wish the series wasn’t cancelled. It definitely leads into a third book, and we know a trilogy was set. It’s a good read if you want to just read without feeling bad or getting bogged down. It was satisfying to me with the drama and the resolution of relationship tension. There’s a sinister feeling about Sina, and I wanted a third book to elaborate on that and how Sam told his end of the story. She wasn’t innocent, and I really wanted justice on that...
I give this somewhere between a 3 and 3.5 stars. I couldn't quite figure out where it fit. It had a lot going on but at times it felt like it moved slowly. It also left the story hanging with the feeling that there will be a final book. If that ends up being the case, the book was good enough that I would be willing to finish out the series. The series was told from both Hayes and Alex POV with sometimes an outside POV thrown in to give a full view of other parts at play in the story.
Really 1.5 starsTo see full review click here: http://yalbookbriefs.blogspot.com/201...I read the first one and God was it awful. Which surprised me since Crouch was known for writing literary fiction. So she must know how to write, right? Well, let me say I was shocked and appalled a few months later when this little article came out: http://www.slate.com/articles/arts/cu...Ms. Crouch let me just give you some friendly marketing advice, don't insult your readers. YA fiction is one of the only f...
Review for the White Glove War, Magnolia League, by Katie Crouch and Grady Hendrix:*This copy is an ARC received from Goodreads First Reads for free, (won) Thank you! I have to say: I am genuinely intrigued by this series. I don’t normally like books with an alternating POV between two characters unless it’s really-really-really good, and I have to admit that I actually enjoyed this one. The world of hoodoo magic is beautifully crafted and well written. Let’s start with the characters. I foun...
Oh yeah, this is a great one too! (Am I allowed to do this??)
I love the idea behind this series, where you have the power (through hoodoo) to completely transform your life and that the ease of having the perfect life without necessarily having to work for it could corrupt you. I think it would require an incredibly strong person to be able to have that kind of power without abusing it or being changed by it. The characters in these books are not incredibly strong people.I'm not sure what it says about me that I enjoy stories about people being corrupted....
I really fell in love with the original Magnolia League because I thought Alexandria was an amazing girl who had suffered so much, and now you pile on a secret society with rituals and freaky spells. It made for the perfect mix of mystery and supernatural in my opinion. The White Glove War is still a very worthy successor. The White Glove War lets us see the action from both Alex and Hayes, which is a nice change from The Magnolia League which was only from Alex's view. This also makes it not as...
Why was this book so freakin' awesome?!?!?! Absolutely loved it!! I am glad that Alex and Thad were able to reconnect I thought they were perfect for each other. Seriously though why would a mother to something like Hayes' mother did to anyone?!?! To pretty much sale your daughter's soul to the devil jut to get her ahead is crazy to me. Hayes and Alex's friendship almost ends because of what Hayes'mother does and thanks to their friend Madison, Hayes sees that it is not Alex that is out to get h...
