Krysten’s Review | The HOOK by Jenny Hickman

“Hopeful that you could love me the way I love you.” “What way is that?”  He whispered, “To the point of madness.” Cue: Wonder by Shawn Mendes It’s a short while after the ending of The PAN and I must say that I am glad to be back at Kensington Academy and even happier to […]

[Caitlyn’s Review]: The Bright & the Pale by Jessica Rubinkowski

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 […]

[Shana’s Review]: Yes & I Love You by Roni Loren

Roni Loren is definitely known for her steamy romances, but in her next release, “Yes & I Love You”, she takes a dip into the rom-com world and I think she transitioned beautifully and in her own unique way! She didn’t just give us a traditional contemporary romance book about coworkers. Instead she gave us […]

[Skye’s Review:] Honey Girl by Morgan Rogers

One of the main reasons I was super excited to read Honey Girl was because of the main character Grace. Grace has finally finished her schooling and now has her Ph.D. in Astronomy. She’s been working on her degree for 11 years. Now, she’s not sure what she wants to do. So much of her […]

Emily’s Review: Love at First by Kate Clayborn

Sixteen years ago, a teenaged Will Sterling saw—or rather, heard—the girl of his dreams. Standing beneath an apartment building balcony, he shared a perfect moment with a lovely, warm-voiced stranger. It’s a memory that’s never faded, though he’s put so much of his past behind him. Now an unexpected inheritance has brought Will back to that same address, where he plans to offload his new property and get back to his regular life as an overworked doctor. Instead, he encounters a woman, two balconies above, who’s uncannily familiar . . .

No matter how surprised Nora Clarke is by her reaction to handsome, curious Will, or the whispered pre-dawn conversations they share, she won’t let his plans ruin her quirky, close-knit building. Bound by her loyalty to her adored grandmother, she sets out to foil his efforts with a little light sabotage. But beneath the surface of their feud is an undeniable connection. A balcony, a star-crossed couple, a fateful meeting—maybe it’s the kind of story that can’t work out in the end. Or maybe, it’s the perfect second chance . . .

Before opening the book you are presented with an unforgettable macabre cover of a shrouded women surround by skeletons by the talent artist Marlowe Lune and that just the beginning of the feelings as they start their way in.
