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: “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: “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”
Review: “I Hope You’re Listening” by Tom Ryan
This was an interesting little read, to say the least! I was pleasantly surprised about how engrossed I was in it and the variety of factors that made this novel work, even if it wasn’t quite perfect. I Hope You’re Listening follows Delia “Dee” Skinner, a teenager who is constantly haunted by the violent abductionContinue reading “Review: “I Hope You’re Listening” by Tom Ryan”
Review: “The Camino Club” by Kevin Craig
There are books that you really want to like, and there are books that really want you to like them. The Camino Club falls somewhere in between those two categories. The Camino Club— cleverly named for the other famous delinquent group, The Breakfast Club— follows the story of three teenagers who’ve been given the choiceContinue reading “Review: “The Camino Club” by Kevin Craig”
Review: “The Fascinators” by Andrew Eliopulos
“If you believe it, you can achieve it. That’s like the number-one rule of magic.” You know, The Fascinators was a really interesting book that for some reason or other, I just didn’t connect to. It wasn’t written too young, which is my complaint about a couple of other YA contemporary reads. The plot hadContinue reading “Review: “The Fascinators” by Andrew Eliopulos”
Review: “Some Laneys Died” by Brooke Skipstone
“I couldn’t go back in time, but maybe I could skip sideways.” Well I can say that this isn’t a book that pulls its punches. I actually got this while browsing through NetGalley and stopped on it because of the cool cover. Blood-red, weirdly psychedelic. Like a sci-fi novel waiting to happen. And I wasn’tContinue reading “Review: “Some Laneys Died” by Brooke Skipstone”
Review: “Only Mostly Devastated” by Sophie Gonzales
“Life was too short to play chicken with something as important as the person you loved.” Alright y’all so imagine this. You’re browsing through Bookstagram, bored off your ass, and you see a cute little book with a pretty teal cover surrounded by little cartoon teenagers hanging out on bleachers. “Aww,” You say, “this isContinue reading “Review: “Only Mostly Devastated” by Sophie Gonzales”
