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 […]

[Rachel’s Review]: The Companion by Kim Taylor Blakemore
I was so excited for this book because it seemed in the same genre of Alias Grace which I absolutely devoured. I loved the unreliable narrator who we as the reader (along with other characters in the book) desperately wanted to believe but left us questioning everything and everyone. Things I Liked: Things I Didn’t: […]
[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 […]
[Victoria’s Review]: Serpent & Dove by Shelby Mahurin
There are a few key words that, whenever I see them combined to describe a new or new-to-me book, automatically guarantees that that book shall shoot straight to the top of my TBR or Most Anticipated Lists. Witches. France/French/Francophile. Enemies-to-Lovers. There are others of course (dragons come to mind), but needless to say, all I […]
[Skye’s Review]: The Burning Shadow by Jennifer L. Armentrout
Jennifer Armentrout’s writing is addicting. I’ve read 90% of the books she has written, and I plan on reading the rest. Her stories never fail to entertain me. The characters are always funny and witty. The romances are swoon-worthy. Throw in a great plot and what else could you ask for? The Burning Shadow picks […]
[Alexandra’s Review] Down too Deep by J. Daniels
There are often surprises that can be found in the most unexpected reads. F=Down too Deep was one such surprise for me. After seeing how much Stephanie was gushing and fangirling about this book I had to request it! And it didn’t disappoint! The story follows Nathan Bell who after the death of his wife […]
[Marie’s Review]: Stormrise by Jillian Boehme
Books and movies inspired by Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night are some of my favorite adaptations. Stormrise by Jillian Boehme has strong leanings and similarities to Disney’s Mulan – Mulan is one of my favorite Disney movies – and Boehme adds in fantasy elements, so of course the book caught my eye. At the start of the […]
