“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 […]

[Lisa’s Review]: Winterwood by Shea Ernshaw
Winterwood is a hauntingly beautiful story, about a young girl, her magical heritage, dark woods full of lost things, and the boy she found in said woods on the one night a month the trees don’t see everything. “But tonight I walk without her, chasing that same moon up the same dark, frozen river – […]

“You glare. Like something’s wrong, and you’re the only one who can fix it.” All the Stars and Teeth is a fascinating story about a young girl’s journey to uncover the truth from the sea of lies she’s been told her entire life, while discovering where she fits in this new world. “The world doesn’t […]
[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 […]

[Portia’s Review]:Little White Lies (Debutantes #1) by Jennifer Lynn Barnes
I was a big believer in absolute honesty: say what you mean, mean what you say, and don’t ask a question if you don’t want to know the answer. Buckle up, ya’ll because this review may be long winded. I will honestly say that when I first got this ARC last year, I wasn’t entirely […]
[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. This book isn’t about a group of misfit friends. I would call them a gang of acquaintances at best […]
[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 […]
