Tangled Webs by Lee Bross

Tangled Webs by Lee Bross

I received an early copy of this book for review from the publisher. This does not influence my thoughts on the book. -DNF at 35%- When I read the synopsis for Tangled Webs, I was excited to read it. A historical fiction novel involving secrets, lies and deception? Sign me up!  Unfortunately, I just could not […]

The Witch Hunter by Virginia Boecker

The Witch Hunter by Virginia Boecker

I received a copy of this book for review from the publisher, this does not influence my review. I’ve read my fair share of books about witches, but I haven’t read a book about a witch hunter before, and The Witch Hunter was definitely an interesting read that mixes magic with a coming-of-age theme. Elizabeth and […]

Grave Mercy by Robin LaFevers

Grave Mercy by Robin LaFevers

You’re not even going to give me a chance to explain are you?! You’re just going to come full force with your pitchforks and judgey faces?! Look I really REALLY liked Grave Mercy. It just didn’t blow me away or have me gripping the edge of my seat in suspense. I think this can easily […]

Salt & Storm by Kendall Kulper

Salt & Storm by Kendall Kulper

I received a copy of this book at BEA, this doesn’t affect the contents of my review. I’ll admit that I went into Salt & Storm completely blind, and I did pick it up for the pretty cover. But I’m glad the cover wasn’t the only thing working for this book, it was really great! Avery […]

Illusions of Fate by Kiersten White

Illusions of Fate by Kiersten White

And a pretty cover strikes again! I wanted so badly to love Illusions of Fate! The cover, the blurb even the ratings made me believe with all my soul that this would be an AWESOME read for me. So of course when my library received a copy I immediately snatched it up, took it home […]

Jackaby by William Ritter

Jackaby by William Ritter

I must admit that the pretty cover drew me to this book, just look at that cover! Gorgeous, right? And when I read the synopsis, I KNEW I had to read this one. I mean, Doctor Who meets Sherlock?! I’d be crazy to pass that up! To get rid of the suspense, I am super pleased […]

All The Truth That’s In Me by Julie Berry

All The Truth That’s In Me by Julie Berry

Let me just kick this review off with saying I am not a historical fiction kind of girl. Have I tried the genre out sufficiently to utter those words? No. No I haven’t, and I know that’s not fair and it’s not smart and blah blah blah but to be totally honest it is what […]
