[Asis’ Review] A Duet With The Siren Duke by Elise Kova

The story was great. I loved all the nods to the Little Mermaid, they were definitely there and made my heart so happy. I also really liked the portrayal of the sirens. The main character and her journey was the best thing about this book for sure. It’s similar yet so different to what Elise […]

[Asis’ Review] Queen of Roses by Briar Boleyn

This book is super similar to the first Blood and Ash book. So if that interests you, definitely check it out. The beginning of the book was incredibly addictive, I loved it. After a bit though, it slowed down a lot and it took me a while to continue. This was in the first half […]

[Asis’ Review] Not the Girl You Marry by Andie J. Christopher

I really really liked Andie’s writing. I am 100% looking forward to reading more from her in the future. As soon as I discovered this was a modern version of How to Lose a Guy in 10 days, I KNEW this book was for me. I loved the reimagined idea of Andie’s, I loved the […]

[Caitlyn’s Review]: Anne of Manhattan by Brina Starler

Way back in March 2020, when the pandemic first began and we all turned inside using books and binge watching to escape the looming doom of a global health crisis, I became slightly obsessed with tracking the hashtags #SaveAnnewithanE and #RenewAnnewithanE. Seriously, Netflix could not post a single promo for Tiger King or Ozark without […]

[Diana’s Review]: Daughter of Sparta (Daughter of Sparta #1) by Claire M. Andrews

“The gods are envious of us. They will never understand the beauty of watching the day pass and knowing that it could perhaps be your last. They will never experience the bitter taste of fear as it floods your senses, or the sometimes bittersweet ache of pain.” I have a weakness for gorgeous covers and […]

[Chelsea’s Review]: Pride and Premeditation (Jane Austen Murder Mystery #1) by Tirzah Price

As a lover of both Pride and Prejudice and murder mysteries, I was excited when I heard about this book. The author does an excellent job of recreating a similar reading voice to that of Jane Austen and it was interesting how she adapted the familiar characters into this retelling. I always appreciate a strong […]

Krysten’s Review | The HOOK by Jenny Hickman

“Hopeful that you could love me the way I love you.” “What way is that?”  He whispered, “To the point of madness.” Cue: Wonder by Shawn Mendes It’s a short while after the ending of The PAN and I must say that I am glad to be back at Kensington Academy and even happier to […]
