Shortly after starting Heartless by Marissa Meyer I realized something that I probably should have known already… …I don’t like the Wonderland universe… It’s not because of Heartless at all — I just don’t like Wonderland in general. I’m just not a fan of that […]
Thank goodness Arena made a comeback! My timeline of thoughts was pretty much: Oohh, cool. Mmhmm.. Ugh, drugs. STAAAAHHHPPP Maybe I’ll DNF. Okay she’s coming to her senses. Fuck yes, awesome. YESSSSS Too far. Hmm, okay awesome. I was so close to putting Arena down, […]
My favourite part about The Diabolic is easy: it’s about a “killing machine” who actually kills. Often in YA the synopsis will describe a “killing machine” or “female badass” or “epic assassin”, but they never actually show any true badassery or brutality. This is so […]
My excitement for The Thousandth Floor went like this: Receive the book at BEA16 and go, “Holy shit this sounds AMAZING!” After a few months, see that it largely gets 3 stars from my Goodreads friends, and go, “Well fuck. Maybe I won’t read it.” […]

I had my eye on Stealing Home for months! I’m a big Nicole Williams fan. I loved the Crash series (five stars all around!) and while I liked Lost & Found a little less, I still enjoyed it quite a bit. So when the synopsis […]
Massive thanks to Harper Voyager UK for providing me with an advanced reading copy! ♥ Things I Loved An adult fantasy book I loved the fact that Nevernight was an adult book. Sure, the main character is a “young adult”, but I wouldn’t class the […]
I always know who to turn to when I want a fun, relatable, sports romance: Miranda Kenneally. She can do no wrong. The Hundred Oaks series is full of delicious, wonderful, sporty books. All crazy fun! Defending Taylor was no different. I loved all the […]
DO NOT LOOK AT THIS COVER AND RUN AWAY. You might disagree (different strokes for different folks), but I think it looks like a cheesy, soap opera historical romance. Had I come across this book on my own, I can tell you with 100% certainty […]
