The Archived by Victoria Schwab

The Archived by Victoria Schwab

The Archived by Victoria Schwab was one of those books I was sure I would love. It just seemed natural. My bookish twins enjoyed it, the premise was promising, and the reviews (from those I trust) were all awe-inspiring. But it just didn’t work for me. Which irks my flipping soul because I REALLY wanted […]

Brownies and Broomsticks by Bailey Cates

Brownies and Broomsticks by Bailey Cates

Brownies & Broomsticks was exactly the palate cleansing, kind of book I needed before the Summer Lovin’ read-a-thon started. I knew going in from the blurb and the cover (yes I’m a cover judger) that this book would be light, funny, and easy to get through. And of course I was right and modest! Brownies […]

Review: Under the Never Sky by Veronica Rossi

Review: Under the Never Sky by Veronica Rossi

I hate writing these kinds of reviews because it’s so hard to properly articulate the complete feeling of “meh” I’m having right now. Like the rest of the world I’ve heard every piece of hype and propaganda for Under the Never Sky. This is the exact reason why I waited over a year before I […]

Mini Review: Thrown By A Curve by Jaci Burton

Mini Review: Thrown By A Curve by Jaci Burton

I use the word “sex” A LOT.  You have been warned.  Now that we have that disclaimer out the way, ladies I want to introduce you to my fantasy version of Garrett Scott:    I’m ridiculously behind on Revenge but this is the face I pictured the entire time I was reading Thrown by a Curve.   My number one remedy […]

Review: Altered by Jennifer Rush

Review: Altered by Jennifer Rush

First and foremost let me just say that Altered was a 3.5 star book for me (one day I will get half a star rating system). Now we can move forward. I found a lot of things I adored about Altered but a few things, personally, just didn’t sit well with me. I, like many people, have grown up […]

Review: Love Unrehearsed by Tina Reber

Review: Love Unrehearsed by Tina Reber

“Love Unrehearsed” left me a tad confused emotionally. One side of me was so happy for Ryan and Taryn, but another side of me was sick off all the self-doubt, then another side of me had a lot of laughs. Hmm… Not only did this book leave me confused but somehow I have acquired a multiple […]

Review:Dinner with a Vampire by Abigail Gibbs

Review:Dinner with a Vampire by Abigail Gibbs

I have very mixed feelings about this book. On the one hand I seriously hated maybe the first 60% of it. Even though it starts with Violet witnessing a mass murder (vampires vs. slayers) the story really dragged for me. Chapters 2 through 30 was a complete and total bore to read, and even though […]

Valkyrie Rising by Ingrid Paulson

Valkyrie Rising by Ingrid Paulson

I went into “Valkyrie Rising” with absolutely NO knowledge of what a Valkyrie even was. In fact the most I know about Norway is that it’s cold most of the time (strike one in my eyes). However I’m a sucker for a pretty cover and a nice blurb and “Valkyrie Rising” had both. Now don’t you go judging me. I […]
