[Elizabeth’s Review]: See You Yesterday by Rachel Lynn Solomon

Did I immediately pre-order a physical copy of this book once I finished it? Yes, I did. I have reviewed Rachel Lynn Solomon’s YA books, which you can find here too, and my reviews tend to follow the same direction when it comes to her books. Just the synopsis of See You Yesterday alone had me vehemently […]

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]: The Brightest Night (Origin #3) by Jennifer L. Armentrout

I’ve been not-so-patiently waiting for the next book in this series for quite some time, and of course, I dived into it the second the ARC landed in my inbox. I’m happy to report that Jen remains absolutely untouched by the “I nail the first books in the series, and it goes downhill from there” […]
