Review: Absence by Melanie Tem

I found this one to be a short but important story, with a time travel twist. I enjoyed how the author indicates to the reader to think about the inequalities that were faced with, such as with slavery. It was a little confusing to join the dots at times, but it was an interesting read for what it was worth.  Rating: 3.5/5 Thanks to Crossroad Press for a copy of this title!

First thoughts: Empire Of The Vampire by Jay Kristoff

Let's preface this to say that I'm not the biggest vampire fan, but here we go anyways. When I started the excerpt, I found it really slow to start, and it took me a long time to power through this one. Yes there was things I thought were worthy of the hype everyone's going on about, however I just felt flat over most parts; maybe the pacing is what threw me off. I'll give it another try when I get my mitts on a full copy - I'll still finish this one wholly though! Thanks to HarperCollins for the excerpt of this title!
