Friends, saying this book took me by surprise would be an understatement. It’s been a while since I’ve read such a thought-provoking book. This book truly makes you think and feel. The Last True Poets of the Sea centers itself around darker, emotional themes such as grief, loss, pain, confusion, and fear of the unknown. […]

[Lisa’s Review]: The Blacksmith Queen by G. A. Aiken
So here’s the thing: when I first read the synopsis for this book I was so damn excited to read it. Strong female characters, magic, kilt-wearing warriors, backstabbing, prophecies, and war. Sounds like the perfect recipe for a new high fantasy series, right? And yet, this one didn’t do it for me at all. The […]
[Marie’s Review]: The Bromance Book Club by Lyssa Kay Adams
I read The Bromance Book Club as a palate cleanser while reading some very emotionally intense stories at the same time. A professional baseball player who turns to a secret book club consisting of other alpha males who read romance novels to revive their marriages is such a fun and refreshing concept, especially among romance […]
[Elizabeth’s Review]: Where I End and You Begin by Preston Norton
I’m writing this review literally ten minutes after finishing this book and all I can say is that I am an emotional mess. Where I End and You Begin— where do we end and begin? This book, I can’t seem to full capture how heartfelt and heartwarming this coming of age story is. What we’ve […]

Twice in a Blue Moon is a beautifully written, well-paced second chance romance, […]
[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 […]
[Bre’s Review]: Into the Crooked Place by Alexandra Christo
“Trust no one, betray everyone.Kill or be killed, always.” This book has been compared to Six of Crows. And while they are both about a group of kids going on a mission, the resemblance stops there. This book isn’t about a group of misfit friends. I would call them a gang of acquaintances at best […]
[Skye’s Review]: 10 Blind Dates by Ashley Elston
10 Blind Dates is the holiday contemporary we all need in our lives! It’s a story full of family, hilarious shenanigans, and finding out who you want to be. It’s Christmas break and Sophie has managed to convince her parents to let her stay at her grandma’s instead of going with them to Lafayette. This […]
