[Emily’s Review]: Mad World by Hannah McBride

I’m Madison.
I spent the last seventeen years in a trailer with my mom as she rolled from one addiction to the next. All I wanted was to survive high school and get out of this place. Finding out I had a long lost twin sister on the other side of the country seemed like something out of a movie.

Too bad I didn’t realize it was a horror movie.

Now I’m Madelaine.
We were only supposed to switch lives for a summer. But then the unthinkable happened and now I have the chance to be my twin for the rest of my life. I get the fancy house, the rich father, and the elite school.

But all of those things come with a price I don’t think I can afford.

Maybe taking over my dead twin sister’s life isn’t as easy as I thought it would be.

Mad World is the first book in a new series by Hannah McBride . It contains dark themes (including bullying, drugs, and mentions of past/implied assault) that may be triggering for some readers.

[Diane’s Review]: The Last Legacy by Adrienne Young

Back to Bastian we go! Adrienne has ushered us back to Bastian with a protagonist so clever and cunning I couldn’t put this book down! I have always had a deep love for Adrienne’s strong female characters and Bryn Roth is no exception. She is a fierce, intelligent chameleon, able to meld herself into whatever […]

[Portia’s Review]: The Final Girl Support Group by Grady Hendrix

Grady Hendricks never fails to mix horror and some comedy together, and I absolutely love that. I also love the entire Final Girls concept, so anything related to final girls and I am THERE. I love horror, all types, and love love love series with a good final girl. (Nancy and Sydney are my top […]

[Emily’s Review]: The Girl in the Headlines by Hannah Jayne

The first page, heck the first chapter of this book was super intense. WHAT A HOOK! I was somewhat let down after that first chapter. The Girl in the Headlines had so so so much potential. The blurb sounds like a true crime lover’s dream. But actually it was a true crime lover’s nightmare. There […]

[Portia’s Review]: The Rulebreaker by Claire Contreras

To get everyone up to speed, my love for Claire Contreras knows no bounds. I rave about her on every review, so here we are again. (Side note: this book is technically a standalone, however, the book before it was called The Heartbreaker, and follows the oldest brother of 3, who is mentioned in this […]

[Shana’s Review]: Hang the Moon by Alexandria Bellefleur

Ok, if I wasn’t reading “Hang the Moon” by Alexandria Bellefleur to write this review…it would’ve been a DNF for me. Ugh, I just cringed writing that…but, look, I read it, went and read the prequel (that most reviews raved about, by the way), and then reread it…and still came to the same conclusion: “Hang […]

[Portia’s Review: A Fate of Wrath & Flame (Fate & Flame #1) by K.A. Tucker

“You are about to enter a world unlike that which you know.” KA Tucker has been a favorite author of mine since I first stepped into Ten Tiny Breaths. I read everything she writes. I have even read her previously published fantasy series, Causal Enchantment. I can’t even describe my excitement over her diving into […]

[Portia’s Review: The Heartbreaker by Claire Contreras]

Eventually everyone will get tired of hearing me talk about how amazing Claire Contreras is, but I’m not going to stop. For those of you who don’t know, she is one of my will-read-anything-they write, favorite authors. So lets jump into her new release, The Heartbreaker. I don’t often venture into sports romance. It is […]
