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 […]

[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 […]
[Asis’ Review] The Cruel Prince by Holly Black
The plot took shape and picked up a great pace, there was so much happening and the story got me more and more invested, so much that I couldn’t have stopped if I tried. It had so much action and mystery, a GREAT political intrigue and some of the BEST plot-twists I’ve read in YA.
[Bre’s Review]: War of Hearts of S. Young
“…you’ll come across more bad things this world has to offer. But don’t ever forget that there’s love and kindness in this world too.” I finished this book this morning and I already want to re-read it. I loved every part of Thea and Conall’s story. They were so strong apart, but once together they […]

[Victoria’s Review]: The Blacksmith Queen by G.A. Aiken
This story had all the elements that made me sit up and pay attention – warrior women, centaurs, witches, magic, Game of Thrones level of plotting and backstabbing… And yet…I don’t know what it was about this book, but it just really didn’t vibe with me. There were elements that I really enjoyed, which I’ll […]
[Elizabeth’s Review]: Serpent & Dove by Shelby Mahurin
Now, can I just say. . . . . This book, I can’t even begin to describe in the appropriate words how much I LOVED this entire narrative and plot and characters and everything. Just, everything. One word does come to mind though and that is: GRAY Let me explain. The world or storytelling isn’t […]
[Elizabeth’s Review]: Fever by Donna Grant
The biggest thing to know before going into this book is that this is #16 in the Dark Kings Series and #38 in the Dark World Series. Buuuuuut here’s the thing, you don’t absolutely have to read every single book in the series before reading this specific one, but it does help. Donna Grant does […]
