[Asis’ Review] ARCHENEMIES by Marissa Meyer

The writing of this author apparently gets an A+ from me every time, but I think everyone already knows that. This story felt a little slower than the first one at times, I felt we had more constant action on Renegades. But on Archenemies, we actually get a lot more of the politics and social […]

[Bre’s Review] Blog Tour + Giveaway: The Queen’s Assassin

“All the answers you seek are there, but only if you are willing to hear them.” The Queen’s Assassin is reminiscent of the old school YA that I remember from many late nights of reading. It has all the elements of an intriguing fantasy including assassins, romance, and political intrigue.  I will admit that I […]

[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]: Fireborne by Rosaria Munda

“And as she turned, it was revealed by her tread that she was fireborne.” There hasn’t been a fantasy book that has captivated me so intently in a long time. This book was pretty darn perfect. And I’m not saying that because everything works out beautifully. In fact, I think the best part about this […]

[Asis’ Review] The Darkest Star by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Even though you don’t need to, if you haven’t read the LUX series, I highly recommend reading it first. Or at least be aware that there will be spoilers for that series in the book since this takes place after the ending. Jen has done it again! I am so happy about this book!! I […]
