[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! Dwyer weaves an element of mystery in with the classic contemporary romance, making it something of its own. With a beautiful prose you really get a sense of Ellis […]

[Diana’s Review]: Some Mistakes Were Made by Kristin Dwyer

Well, damn. I was not ready for how angsty and angry and heartbreakingly sad this book is. “I have to be careful because memories are like rain. 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 […]

[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 […]

[Rachel’s Review]: My Contrary Mary by Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton & Jodi Meadows

I flippin’ love historical fiction. I especially love 16th and 17th-century historical fiction that focuses on Mary, Queen of Scots, Elizabeth I or any of the six wives of Henry VIII and will devour any of it I can get my hands on. Unfortunately, that means that some of the books often feel repetitive because […]
