This is the first book I ever read of Becca’s and I love it just as much now as the day I read it. Even here you can see how she was already the queen of worldbuilding. The two kingdoms we found ourselves in are so well built, so different, and full of places I […]

[Skye’s Review]: The Library of Shadows by Rachel Moore
If you’re looking for a cozy book to dive into for spooky season, The Library of Shadows should be on your list. This book is perfect for fans of YA paranormal with hints of dark academia. Este is starting school at Radcliffe Prep–a school her father attended and talked about fondly. Radcliffe Prep is more […]
[Diane’s Review]: Blade Breaker by Victoria Aveyard
Seriously. Seriously! This book is a chart topper. No doubt in my mind. I usually have a hard time getting into books with so many perspectives, but this books runs with titles like The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon and Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi. It has the most […]
[Skye’s Review:] Blade Breaker by Victoria Aveyard
I’m not sure where to start. In fact, I’m not sure how I feel about this book yet. I expected more from Blade Breaker than it delivered. Don’t get me wrong, this isn’t a bad book by any means. It’s a good book; it’s just not a great book. It’s not a book that will […]
[Diane’s Review]: Some Mistakes Were Made by Kristin Dwyer
An Absolutely Heartbreakingly Beautiful Debut! Kristin Dwyer has set the bar high for teen love and longing. This was a book that I couldn’t put down!

A harmless drop here and there falling against my mind, then suddenly, I’m standing beneath a flood.” Unfortunately, I didn’t end up loving SMWM as I hoped. This […]

Sloan is 15 years old with magic running through her veins. As a Scion, Sloan is a gifted with magic from the Orisha gods and has the power to call forth fire and flame. […]
[Caitlyn’s Review]: The Storyteller by Kathryn Williams
Lately I have become obsessed with Russian history. Maybe it was reading the Winternight trilogy by Katharine Arden (which ranks my most beloved series, and one which I have posted about here quite a bit already), or perhaps it was finally watching The Great on Hulu (highly, highly recommend), either way I am always primed […]
