The final book of the year for me in 2019 was The Wives by Tarryn Fisher. I really have a love/hate relationship with her books. Well, I guess I dont entirely HATE any of them, but some are just… meh, for me (Mud Vein is still my fave by her). So because of the back […]

[Portia’s Review]:Little White Lies (Debutantes #1) by Jennifer Lynn Barnes
I was a big believer in absolute honesty: say what you mean, mean what you say, and don’t ask a question if you don’t want to know the answer. Buckle up, ya’ll because this review may be long winded. I will honestly say that when I first got this ARC last year, I wasn’t entirely […]
[Bre’s Review]: Neat by Kandi Steiner
“…like the lotus flower born from the mud, we must embrace the darkest parts of ourselves to become our most beautiful selves.” I am so in love with this book and already know that it will become a regular in my re-read pile. This modern day Romeo and Juliet story pulled me in and convinced […]
[Skye’s Review]: Girls of Storm and Shadow by Natasha Ngan
“Because it’s what I am. Not a Paper Girl anymore, just ‘girl’–almost a caste of its own.

As Tessa Bailey mentions in her Acknowledgments, she was inspired by her own life, adding in her amazing talent in crafting […]
[Skye’s Review]: The Last True Poets of the Sea by Julia Drake
Friends, saying this book took me by surprise would be an understatement. It’s been a while since I’ve read such a thought-provoking book. This book truly makes you think and feel. The Last True Poets of the Sea centers itself around darker, emotional themes such as grief, loss, pain, confusion, and fear of the unknown. […]
[Lisa’s Review]: The Blacksmith Queen by G. A. Aiken
So here’s the thing: when I first read the synopsis for this book I was so damn excited to read it. Strong female characters, magic, kilt-wearing warriors, backstabbing, prophecies, and war. Sounds like the perfect recipe for a new high fantasy series, right? And yet, this one didn’t do it for me at all. The […]
[Annmarie’s Review] Regretting You by Colleen Hoover
“Everything you do is epic, Clara. Which is why I never had the courage to approach you, because an epic girl needs an equally epic guy, and I Guess I’ve never felt epic enough for you.”
