[Elizabeth’s Review]: The Dark Tide by Alicia Jasinska

I like to think Alicia Jasinska read Beauty and the Beast and thought: let’s make our beast a QUEEN and let’s make it dark. And I was totally and completely about it. This book focuses on two POVs: Lina Kirk and Queen Eva and they each have something to prove. The dynamic between Lina and […]

[Asis’ Review] Watch Over Me by Mila Gray

Book CW: Domestic abuse. Probably what I can highlight the most about this book was the dynamic between the family. Seeing how this situation affected each of them in a different way, how they all grew individually and as a family as well… it was very inspiring and heartwarming. The little brother had me very […]

[Asis’ Review] All Fired Up by Lori Foster

I read this book with no memory of the synopsis whatsoever so I really had no clue what I was in for. For starters, I need to say what stood out to me the most, which is that the characters could’ve been better developed. I feel like that was the main thing that affected this […]

[Skye’s Review]: The Last True Poets of the Sea by Julia Drake

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 […]

[Annmarie’s Review] Regretting You by Colleen Hoover

“Everything you do is epic, Clara. Which is why I never had the courage to approach you, because an epic girl needs an equally epic guy, and I Guess I’ve never felt epic enough for you.”

[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 […]
