[Asis’ Review] The Dead List by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Book CW: Suicide, Bullying, and a very scary clown. So, I absolutely adored this book. The pacing was great. The writing was on point. I laughed a lot. I got super scared. I fell hard for a certain someone… The characters were absolutely fantastic, endearing and felt like people I’d totally want to meet or to […]

[Asis’ Review] If There’s No Tomorrow by Jennifer L. Armentrout

I started reading “If There’s No Tomorrow” only knowing that it was a cute contemporary romance written by my favorite author. But I was wrong. Because this book is SO MUCH MORE than that or than anything I had expected of it and I truly believe that Jennifer has outdone herself. As always, her writing […]

[Asis’ Review] The Library of Lost Things by Laura Taylor Namey

Book CW: Hoarding, abandonment The quotes used on this Review were taken from the ARC and may change after publication. This story as a whole brought me back to these old typical YA contemporaries I used to read in High School all the time, and that made me feel really nostalgic and happy. As every […]

[Steph’s Review]: To Love Jason Thorn by Ella Maise

This story was just a bucket of warm & fuzzies. And though I’m not a warm & fuzzies type of gal, I found that I couldn’t resist the happy feels that came with reading this book. Matter of fact, I devoured this book TWICE in one(ish) sitting, back-to-back. This has a friends-to-lovers, AND a celebrity […]

[Steph’s Review]: Down Too Deep by J. Daniels

First, let me start off by saying that this book can be read as a standalone, whether you’ve read the other books in the series or not. Two single parents, three young kids, and one unforgettable romance. Second, let me just say: I mean, a summer romance between two single parents who form a bond […]
