Something Like Normal is such a sweet, tender, heartbreaking, uncertain story. I love how it deals with so many imperfections. Travis is a great character, but he’s not perfect. He’s made some bad choices, he has difficulty accepting the loss of his marine friend, he […]

Monstrous Beauty by Elizabeth Fama
I have read no other book like Monstrous Beauty. We have mermaids, ghosts, history, lineage, love, heartbreak, and a fascinating story with multiple characters whose lives, deaths, and fates are all intertwined. I love how Monstrous Beauty is told in two different time periods: modern […]
Daughter of the Earth and Sky by Kaitlin Bevis
I’m kind of bummed that I didn’t quite enjoy Daughter of the Earth and Sky as much as Persephone. It was still a pretty good book, but I think I started nitpicking at a few things that bugged me, and then that was all I […]
Reflected in You by Sylvia Day
Reflected in You was both an amazing and difficult book for me to get through. It had many of the same elements as Bared to You—the sexiness, the intensity, and the emotional drama… But it was also ten times more frustrating! To start with, Gideon […]
Breathe by Sarah Crossan
Breathe is an interesting sci-fi dystopian book told from three different points of view! We have Quinn. He’s a “Premium” — the elite in this new kind of society. His father works for the Breathe corporation. He has always had plenty of oxygen and lives […]
Zane by Kimberly Lewis
Zane was my first ever western contemporary romance novel! Honestly, I saw the cover and went, “Z0MG HORSES!” and knew I had to read it. I absolutely love horses. I used to horseback ride but don’t any more and I think seeing this cover brought […]
Erasing Time by C.J. Hill
Erasing Time is sandwiched somewhere between ‘awesome’ and ‘ridiculous.’ It’s fun to imagine what our world will be like 400 years from now, including new fashion trends, language evolution, and so on. But some of the things in Erasing Time just seemed silly. For example, […]
Lengths by Steph Campbell and Liz Reinhardt
Lengths is a story about a romance between Whit — a girl running from her past — and Deo — a sweet surfer kid who’s a bit of a slacker and kind of heading nowhere. The sex in this book is hot! It is a […]
Obsidian by Jennifer L. Armentrout
Ugh. I feel like the only person in the world who doesn’t love Obsidian. I didn’t hate it, but I wasn’t wowed by it either, and I certainly didn’t like the romance. Okay, so Daemon is hot. But honestly, that’s about it. He is a […]
