• Pretty Books | 6 Apr 2012

  I had expected something else entirely from the ending, and so I was disappointed a little, but it’s worth reading for the exciting murder mystery, and for Vee, who I thought was an excellent main character.

• The Reading Fever | 5 Apr 2012

  There are some good twists and turns that took me by surprise. By the end, I wasn't sure who the real villain was, and my heart was racing when Vee finally found out.

  Vee’s voice isn’t consistent at all, and the teenage talk seems forced.

• My Shelf Confessions | 30 Mar 2012

  All in all, I think Slide is definitely worth a read. However, I don’t think it’s a book that’s going to knock your boots off.

  I didn’t guess the ending. I really didn’t guess it until Vee did. Sooo…with that said, it’s a great book I will definitely pass around.

  If I had to give a word to Slide other than “page-turner”, I’d probably give it understated.

• Once Upon a Twilight | 21 Mar 2012

  Jill’s writing flows very smoothly from the beginning to the end. Her strengths in her writing is truly attributed to the descriptions that she offers the readers when describing her characters.

  Overall, I think that Jill Hathaway has created a brilliantly structured book with a strong plot and new storyline; some will connect with the characters and some not as much.

• Birth of a New Witch | 19 Mar 2012

  Overall, I feel like this book could have used at least one more draft to work out the kinks and make the less vibrant parts of the story explode onto the page, but it is what it is.

• Sash & Em | 17 Mar 2012

  Overall, this book just didn’t feel original and that’s something that I feel YA authors really need to strive for in a market where there are so many books.

  I wish we had learned more about Zane. He felt vague to me.

• Ex Libris | 17 Apr 2012

  There was some insta-love between Zane and Vee, which normally doesn't bother me that much, but it seemed odd that Vee, who was very distrustful and withdrawn, would open up so freely to someone she didn't know.

• Nina Reads | 19 Mar 2012

  The murder mystery, Vee’s special ability and her relationships to both Rollins and Zee (as well as that to her former best “friend”) all made Slide a thrilling read that will leave you guessing until the very last chapter.

• Cracking the Cover | 9 Apr 2012

  Overall, I enjoyed “Slide,” but it wasn’t perfect. While Jill’s story is engaging and well thought out, there are some elements to the plot that feel a little too forced and convenient.
