[Lisa’s Review]: Boyfriend Material by Alexis Hall

When I first read the synopsis, I immediately requested this one to review. Male on male, fake boyfriends and British humor – sign me up. But to be honest, I didn’t like it all that much. If I hadn’t had to review it and I’d believe in DNF’s, I probably would have put the book […]

[Skye’s Review]: What I Like About You by Marisa Kanter

What I Like About You is a cute story that will warm all book lovers’ hearts. The main character, Halle, runs her own book blog and has dreams of working in publishing (something we have probably all dreamed of at one point or another).  Okay, let’s start off with some of my favorite things about […]

[Lisa’s Review]: Crown of Coral and Pearl by Mara Rutherford

Crown of Coral and Pearl is one of the best fantasy debuts I’ve read in 2019. While it didn’t knock Shelby Mahurin’s Serpent & Dove off my number one spot (if you haven’t read that one yet go read it), it’s a close second. Kiera Cass’ the Selection meets Holly Black’s the Cruel Prince – […]

[Rachel’s Review]: There Will Come a Darkness by Katy Rose Pool

Holy squad goals Batman, what the heck did I just read? This book was AMAZING with a unique magic system and a fantastic cast of characters. Honestly wish I could give it more than 5 stars. It’s like the author looked at all of us and was like: Ephyra, Beru, Anton, Jude and Hassan are […]

[Lisa’s Review]: Seasons of the Storm (Seasons of the Storm #1) by Elle Cosimano

Seasons of the Storm is a unique, exciting, and action-packed tale about personified seasons, starcrossed lovers, and the power of friendship. I went into this book knowing the bare minimum but loved the idea of personified seasons, and each respective season killing their predecessor each year form the get-go. Throw forbidden romance in there, and […]

[Lisa’s Review]: Up Close and Personal by Kathryn Freeman

Here’s the thing: on a superficial level, Up Close and Personal is a sweet, entertaining, gender-swapped version of “The Bodyguard”. The plot is interesting enough even if predictable, and the characters are charming. What made me request this book is obviously the non-traditional distribution of roles. I’ve read my fair share of bodyguard romances and […]
