I received a copy of this book from the publisher. This does not influence my thoughts on this review or this book. I was pitched this book at an event with HarperCollins Canada and considering the fact that I loved Arnett’s The Nightmare Affair, I was really excited to read Onyx & Ivory when I learned that the romance […]
I received a copy of this book for review, this does not influence my thoughts on this book or this review. Heart of Iron was pitched as Firefly meets Anastasia and I totally agree with that comparison. That’s how I would describe the plot but the characters in the novel is truly what makes the book […]

I received an ARC of this book from the publisher, this does not affect my review or my opinion. When I first heard about My Heart and Other Black Holes, I knew I had to read it. While it isn’t the usual fluffy book that I enjoy, I definitely wanted to pick this one up because […]
