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 […]

[Lisa’s Review:] Blood and Honey (Serpent and Dove #2) by Shelby Mahurin

Shelby Mahurin’s Serpent & Dove was one of my favorite books in 2019, and hands down one of the best debuts I had read in a long time. Naturally, reading the sequel was a no brainer, and all I can say is get ready folks! Shelby once again managed to completely pull me into her […]

[Lisa’s Review]: Ever Cursed by Corey Ann Haydu

Every once in a while, we stumble over a book that holds all the promise in the world; cursed princesses, witches, and an impossible task, and yet for some reason, we don’t connect with the story or the characters at all. Unfortunately, this exactly what happened to me with this book. While the idea behind […]

[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 – […]

[Asis’ Review] The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater

“Have you heard of the legends of sleeping kings? The legends that heroes like Llewellyn and Glendower and Arthur aren’t really dead, but are instead sleeping in tombs, waiting to be woken?” The story is about a group of four boys (and a girl… eventually) that’s looking for the body of old Welsh King Glendower, […]

[Asis’ Review] SISTERS OF SWORD AND SONG by Rebecca Ross

Rebecca Ross is for sure one of my favorite authors of all time. And this book went beyond anything I expected. After reading both this and The Queen’s Rising duology, I can clearly see her style in themes and writing, and I am becoming a huge addict to both. This book really astonishes with the […]

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

Here’s the thing: every once in a while, there’s a book that seemingly has everything you could ever wish for, and has all the promise in the world and yet for whatever reason, you can’t connect to the story and the characters in the way you wanted to or thought you would. And unfortunately, this […]

[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 […]
