This book was everything I wanted it to be and more! Our Way Back to Always is captivating from beginning to end; full of great tropes, swoon-worthy romance, and Latinx culture. This story was the perfect balance between romance, comedy, and grief. Nina Moreno really captured the various feelings of senior year: excitement, dread, worry, […]

[Emily’s Review]: That Dark Infinity by Kate Pentecost
By night, the Ankou is a legendary, permanently young mercenary. By day, a witch’s curse leaves him no more than bones. Caught in an unending cycle of death and resurrection, the Ankou wants only to find the death that has been prophesied for him, especially once he begins to rot while he’s still alive….
After the kingdom of Kaer-Ise is sacked, Flora, loyal handmaiden to the princess, is assaulted and left for dead. As the sole survivor of the massacre, Flora wants desperately to find the princess she served. When the Ankou agrees to help her find the princess, and to train her in exchange for her help in breaking his curse, she accepts. But how can she kill an immortal? Especially one whom she is slowly growing to understand—and maybe even to love?
Together, they will solve mysteries, battle monsters, break curses, and race not only against time, but against fate itself.
[Brittany’s Review]: Defy the Night (Defy the Night #1) by Brigid Kemmerer
Going into this book I was super excited, because this was my first Brigid Kemmerer book and I’ve heard amazing things about this author’s writing. So, you could say my expectations were high. Let me just say, Brigid surpassed my expectations. This book BLEW MY MIND. In this book, you meet Tessa, an apothecary who […]
[Diane’s Review]: Dark and Shallow Lies by Ginny Myers Sain
Gripping mystery against an eerie backdrop. Dark and Shallow LIes took my on quite the ride. Ginny’s vivid description of life in a remote bayou town paints the perfect backing for this twisted tale. Normally I’m not one to read YA mysteries as I don’t find them overly compelling, but this one sucked me right […]
[Diane’s Review]: The Last Beautiful Girl by Nina Laurin
Perfect for fans of Black Mirror! What starts out as your typical “teenage girl moves to a new town outside of the city” quickly morphs into a suspenseful story of social media and the unceasing urge to remain relevant. The Last Beautiful Girl accurately depicts the struggle of competing for popularity and individuality in a […]
[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 […]
[Chelsea’s Review]: Red Wolf by Rachel Vincent
This book was interesting enough. The concept was new and it felt like a fresh way to retell the story of Little Red Riding Hood, even though the typical elements were still there (i.e. the trek to grandmothers house through the woods). The story progressed a little slowly for me and I had a hard […]
[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 […]
