“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 […]

[Bre’s Review] Blog Tour + Giveaway: Beyond the Shadowed Earth by Joanna Ruth Meyer
“One must always take care when treating with gods,” said her father. “It might not be worth the risk.” If you’re in the mood for a YA fantasy with great world building, this is the book for you. And while it’s set in the same world as a previous book, I felt like I understood […]
[Bre’s Review]: Into the Crooked Place by Alexandra Christo
“Trust no one, betray everyone.Kill or be killed, always.” This book has been compared to Six of Crows. And while they are both about a group of kids going on a mission, the resemblance stops there.

[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 […]
[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 […]
