This is a big damn book. No really, it’s 600 pages and that put me off for a long while. But I finally did pick it up and damn if I didn’t read all 600 pages in a day. This book is a teenage superhero nerd’s wet dream. It’s insanely readable, as well as beingContinue reading “Review: “Renegades” by Marissa Meyer”

Review: “Incendiary” by Zoraida Cordova
Alright after a couple of soft-ball, considerably “meh” books, I was on the hunt for something interesting. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is what I ran into with Incendiary. It is dark and it is brooding and is actually much more involved than you might think for the vague description of “girl steals memories andContinue reading “Review: “Incendiary” by Zoraida Cordova”
Review: “Sources Say” by Lori Goldstein
Never in my wildest imagination did I think I would actively enjoy inviting even more politics into my life. And yet, dang if Sources Says isn’t an absolute treat that seeks to capitalize, satirize and entertain that masses, all while laying out the fundamental issues that the American two-party system is struggling with. All, ofContinue reading “Review: “Sources Say” by Lori Goldstein”
Review: “Spin the Dawn” by Elizabeth Lim
I’m not entirely sure what I expected out of this book and I’m even less sure that I got it. It’s one of those books that I have to think very carefully about what to say because, while I was happy to finish it, it wouldn’t have killed me if I hadn’t. And I thinkContinue reading “Review: “Spin the Dawn” by Elizabeth Lim”
Review: “If We Were Us” by K.L. Walther
Oh man to be young, in love, and dramatic as hell. This story was an odd mix of quick page turning because I loved everything that was happening, and Jesus Christ I simply cannot stand these dumbass kids. But hey, maybe that’s just teenagers. What’s this book about, you ask? Sage and Charlie are simplyContinue reading “Review: “If We Were Us” by K.L. Walther”
Review: “The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue” by Mackenzie Lee
Now wasn’t THIS book a fun little surprise! I’ll admit, going into it, I knew that the book was an LGBT+ mini-darling of both Bookstagram and Tumblr. However, I don’t think I was expecting it to be quite so mature. The book: Henry Montague is a bonafide trainwreck; he’s a party boy who loves toContinue reading “Review: “The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue” by Mackenzie Lee”
Review: “Where Dreams Descend” by Janella Angeles
It has been a hot minute since I was so thoroughly let down by a book. And I should know better than to get hypnotized by gorgeous covers like I was with this one and Woven in the Moonlight, but how can you turn down this gorgeous cover and the promise of an enigmatic magicContinue reading “Review: “Where Dreams Descend” by Janella Angeles”
Review: “The Companion” by Katie Alender
As it turns out, I’m kind of a fiend for horror/thriller stories. I learned that with Mexican Gothic, a book this is undoubtedly going to be compared to due to its creepy nature and time of publication, but aside from the horror aspects, these two stories are quite different. Let’s review: Margot has had aContinue reading “Review: “The Companion” by Katie Alender”
Review: “Woven in Moonlight” by Isabel Ibañez
As the Young Adult genre has stepped their game up with their cover art across the board, it takes quite a bit for a cover to so thoroughly encapsulate me that I want the book immediately with no questions asked. Woven In Moonlight’s cover is one of those pesky few. Add in the description onContinue reading “Review: “Woven in Moonlight” by Isabel Ibañez”
Review: “A Darker Shade of Magic” by V.E. Schwab
Everyone has books that you see being discussed to kingdom come and you resist it a little because, how can a book that’s been hyped so much live up to your expectations? That was A Darker Shade of Magic for me. People have been telling me to read it ever since I joined Bookstagram. Well,Continue reading “Review: “A Darker Shade of Magic” by V.E. Schwab”
