This is a 5 star read. There is literally nothing I can say that will take away from the fact that this book blew my mind and any expectations I had had out of the water. It was that good. So good in fact, that I would have nothing remotely “meh” to say if itContinue reading “Review: “The Prison Healer” by Lynette Noni”

Review: “The Starless Sea” by Erin Morgenstern
“Some enjoyed them and others did not and that is the nature of a story.” It’s certainly no secret that I absolutely loved Erin Morgenstern’s first work, The Night Circus. I think everyone did; it was magical and mysterious and exuded such a distinct feel to it, that it was highly disappointing to finish andContinue reading “Review: “The Starless Sea” by Erin Morgenstern”
Review: “They Wish They Were Us” by Jessica Goodman
Now this is a book that you go into expecting a pretty straight-forward One Thing, and then come out of it with a Completely Different Thing. It was both a pro and a con, in my humble opinion. Slated as Gossip Girl meets One of Us Is Lying, They Wish They Were Us follows theContinue reading “Review: “They Wish They Were Us” by Jessica Goodman”
Review: The Hearts We Sold” by Emily Lloyd-Jones
“She became her own knight; she collected those broken promises and whispered apologies and fashioned them into armor.” You know that feeling, where your book ends, but it ends in such a way that it’s all a blur of action and emotion and you have to… take a step back and think ”whoa whoa whoaContinue reading “Review: The Hearts We Sold” by Emily Lloyd-Jones”
Review: “The Love Study” by Kris Ripper
This was a cute little romantic comedy that catches the realities of dating in 2020 at a time where sexuality is such a fluid concept and people are being respected more and more for who they identify as. It is, in part, a wholly progressive lens on where we as a society have advanced to.Continue reading “Review: “The Love Study” by Kris Ripper”
Review: “The Ravens” by Kass Morgan And Danielle Paige
It has been a hot minute since I have found a spooky, witchy little tale to sink my teeth into. Luckily The Ravens provided just about everything I had been craving. It’s a little bit The Secret Circle and quite a bit of The Craft, but it somehow takes the good parts of those witchyContinue reading “Review: “The Ravens” by Kass Morgan And Danielle Paige”
Review: “Paper Princess” by Erin Watt
Paper Princess is an objectively terrible book. It’s drama is at 5,000 megawatts of WTF, the dialogue is straight out of every porno you’ve ever seen and every 5 or so pages introduces a new random fact that literally has you rearing back going “what?” It’s also more than vaguely problematic the entire length ofContinue reading “Review: “Paper Princess” by Erin Watt”
Review: “The Extraordinaries” by T.J. Klune
I’d like to start this review off by acknowledging the fact that I was 100% hungover while reading The Extraordinaries. Head pounding, stomach churning, life-hating hungover. And this book still made me so happy. Nick Bell is our beloved hero in The Extraordinaries. Well, “hero” is a strong word considering in a town where superherosContinue reading “Review: “The Extraordinaries” by T.J. Klune”
Review: “The Kinder Poison” by Natalie Mae
I have to say I’ve been on a roll with bomb fantasy books. I don’t know if it’s because the young adult authors of the world have stepped up since I was a teenager or WHAT, but this book goes on my shelf of “YA Fantasy Heroines who can F*** It Up” And I MeanContinue reading “Review: “The Kinder Poison” by Natalie Mae”
Review: “Dustlands” by Erin Bowman
Well this book was certainly a little how-do-you-do of vengeful post-apocalyptic YA Novels. I was promised Mad Max and I was fed exactly that and more. This is a book that is most certainly going to sweep across the young adult world and take them by storm. Dustborn follows Delta of Dead River; dead beingContinue reading “Review: “Dustlands” by Erin Bowman”
