Shutter by Courtney Alameda

Shutter by Courtney Alameda

I received this book for review from the publisher, this does not influence my review or my thoughts on the book. To be honest, I picked up Shutter because of all the good praise surrounding it, and I’m happy to say that Shutter did not disappoint! As part of the Helsing family, Micheline has been hunting ghosts […]

Compulsion by Martina Boone

Compulsion by Martina Boone

I bought this book for myself, that does not influence my personal thoughts. I am definitely not exaggerating when I say that I haven’t read something this unique in a while. First, I am not a huge paranormal fan but damn, Compulsion totally makes me re-think my choices in sticking mainly to contemporary. Also, Compulsion was written […]

The Darkest Part of the Forest by Holly Black

The Darkest Part of the Forest by Holly Black

I received a copy of this book at BEA 2014, this does not effect the contents of my review.  As a huge fan of Holly Black, I was super excited to read her new novel. The Darkest Part of the Forest is an interesting and intriguing novel full of awesome world-building. But that’s about all I […]

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 […]

Lailah by Nikki Kelly!

Lailah by Nikki Kelly!

I received this book from Macmillan for a review (thanks!), however, this does not affect the contents of my review nor my thoughts about the book.  Looking at the cover and reading the synopsis, it was pretty easy for me to want to read this book IMMEDIATELY. Basically, a 17 year old girl,Francesca, is immortal, […]

Messenger of Fear by Michael Grant

Messenger of Fear by Michael Grant

I think it’s best to start this review with a confession. You see, even though Michael Grant is a crazy popular author and it seems like the entire YA readers community LOVES him this is my very first Grant book. I know I know! I’ve put the entire Gone series on my TBR just to […]

The Coldest Girl in Coldtown by Holly Black

The Coldest Girl in Coldtown by Holly Black

Well played Ms. Black! An original vampire story that DIDN’T make the vampires out to be these dreamy sparkly saints? Who knew it was possible?!   That’s right folks! The Coldest Girl in Coldtown is indeed an ORIGINAL vampire concept. And if you read vampire books as much as I do, I am forming a support […]

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 […]

Born of Illusion by Teri Brown

Born of Illusion by Teri Brown

I had such hope for Born of Illusion! With its interesting and unique premise and it’s drool worthy cover! Add in the fact that this book is set in the roaring 20’s and it should have been an easily enjoyable read. But it wasn’t. And I’m so lost on how a story with so much […]
