“So you tell me what would make a good, quiet girl get herself in trouble, especially when she had so much to lose. Tell me.” With a quote like that, you know you’re in for a delightful ride. That quote is from the very first chapter. Needless to say, I was helpless to Marie Rutkoski’s […]

[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. An oppressed caste, yes, but one braver and bolder and capable of more brilliance than any other in this world.” This book explores two main concepts: the effects of trauma and doing horrible things in the name of […]
[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. […]
[Elizabeth’s Review]: Where I End and You Begin by Preston Norton
I’m writing this review literally ten minutes after finishing this book and all I can say is that I am an emotional mess. Where I End and You Begin— where do we end and begin? This book, I can’t seem to full capture how heartfelt and heartwarming this coming of age story is. What we’ve […]
[Bre’s Review]: Into the Crooked Place by Alexandra Christo
“Trust no one, betray everyone.Kill or be killed, always.” This book has been compared to Six of Crows. And while they are both about a group of kids going on a mission, the resemblance stops there. This book isn’t about a group of misfit friends. I would call them a gang of acquaintances at best […]
[Sita’s Review]: Sticking to the Script by Stella Weaver
This is it people. If Steph gave us one ‘ten star for the year’ I would cash in that chip for this book this very minute. And there’s still a quarter of 2019 to go. Full disclosure – I have a history with this story and the super gorgeous author who wrote it. In 2016 […]
[Asis’ Review] Loki: Where Mischief Lies by Mackenzi Lee
The quotes used on this Review were taken from the ARC and may change after publication. I came into this book not really knowing what to expect, I haven’t really read any comics but I do love the MCU and was hopeful for what this book would bring us. I really appreciated the way Loki […]
[Kaye’s Review:] There Will Come A Darkness by Katy Rose Pool
The Six Prophetic cities are flourishing in all ways of overindulgence and evil. Everyone is aware that since The Prophets have disappeared, the world has gone from good to bad to worse with no instruction or guidance on how to rise above. There are murders in the holy city by the Pale Hand, preaching of […]
