There is a part of the year that any well-seasoned New Englander or Midwesterner will know, when the winter no longer feels bright with possibilities and holiday cheer, but instead dark and gloomy and just so cold. Endlessly cold. Here in Indiana we’re looking at a balmy forecast of 10 degrees next week. Right now, […]

[Skye’s Review:] The Bright & the Pale by Jessica Rubinkowski
For this book, I thought it would be best to make two lists to showcase my thoughts. Things I liked: –The mythology. I can’t wait to learn more about the Bright and Pale gods in the next book! I feel like we barely skimmed the surface of the mythology surrounding the gods in this book. […]
Krysten’s Review | The PAN by Jenny Hickman
Cue: Lost Boy by Ruth B “??? ????, ???? ???. ?’? ??? ??????? ??? ???? ???? ?? ???????.” Maybe it’s my love of Disney or my desire to escape to Neverland. Maybe it’s the intrigue of lost boys or the idea of flying into an adventure but I think the real reason I couldn’t put […]
[Diane’s Review] Amelia Unabridged by Ashley Schumacher
This book was not what I expected it to be. It was so much more. As we go through the story of Amelia and her life without Jenna the author shows the true sides of what it’s like to struggle with mental illness, to struggle with the death of a loved one. On many occasions […]

[Lisa’s Review]: Elixir (Covenant 3.5) by Jennifer L. Armentrout
Elixir is a Covenant Novella from Aiden’s perspective, bridging the third and fourth books in the series, Deity and Apollyon. If you have not read Deity yet, do not read this review. If you’re like me and have been dying for scenes in Aiden’s point of view since the very beginning, this one is the […]
[Skye’s Review:] Unchosen by Katharyn Blair
This book takes the chosen one trope and flips it on its head. Charlotte has always felt ordinary. There’s nothing unique or impressive about her, not like her sisters. Harlow, her older sister, is a phenomenal singer and musician. Vanessa, her younger sister, is an incredibly talented gymnast. Then, once the Crimson arrives, her sisters […]
