[Asis’ Review] ARCHENEMIES by Marissa Meyer

The writing of this author apparently gets an A+ from me every time, but I think everyone already knows that. This story felt a little slower than the first one at times, I felt we had more constant action on Renegades. But on Archenemies, we actually get a lot more of the politics and social […]

[Lisa’s Review]: The Brightest Night (Origin #3) by Jennifer L. Armentrout

I’ve been not-so-patiently waiting for the next book in this series for quite some time, and of course, I dived into it the second the ARC landed in my inbox. I’m happy to report that Jen remains absolutely untouched by the “I nail the first books in the series, and it goes downhill from there” […]

[Lisa’s Review]: There Will Come a Darkness by Katy Rose Pool

There Will Come a Darkness is a solid fantasy debut that follows multiple characters through a well-established world of magic, prophecies, deceit, and political intrigue. Katy Rose Pool did an excellent job with the world-building. I was intrigued from the moment the book showed up on our available review copies list, and my curiosity grew […]

[Rachel’s Review]: The Grace Year by Kim Liggett

I am still really struggling to determine my feelings on this one. Overall I enjoyed The Grace Year and would recommend it to fans of the Handmaid’s Tale and Lord of the Flies. I thought some parts of this were really strong and I liked the world-building, however, it was not clear how quickly time […]

[Skye’s Review]: The Burning Shadow by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Jennifer Armentrout’s writing is addicting. I’ve read 90% of the books she has written, and I plan on reading the rest. Her stories never fail to entertain me. The characters are always funny and witty. The romances are swoon-worthy. Throw in a great plot and what else could you ask for? The Burning Shadow picks […]

[Lisa’s Review]: The Burning Shadow by Jennifer L. Armentrout

The Burning Shadow was one of my most anticipated reads of 2019. I loved the Lux Series; I loved the Darkest Star and couldn’t wait to dive back into the world of the Luxen, Origins, and Arum. While I never doubted that Jen would deliver – we’re talking about Jen here – she really outdid […]

[Lisa’s Review]: The Darkest Star by Jennifer L. Armentrout

First things first: the Darkest Star is the first installment of the Lux spin-off series, Origin. While Jen does a fantastic job getting everyone up to speed, I would highly recommend reading the Lux series before diving into this one. Firstly, you would seriously miss out and will eventually come to regret it. Secondly, running […]

[Alexandra’s Review] Frost and Flame by Gena Showalter

If there is something I love in a good paranormal book it’s the unstopping action, the romance and the POVs of the protagonists. Gena Showalter delivers once more an amazing story, which despite the lacking plot advance wins in character development. Frost and Flame is the sequel to the new series written by the queen […]
