738 Days is the kind of book that rips your world apart and slowly tries to put the pieces back together. Kind of like The Sea of Tranquility. In hindsight, it TOTALLY has that same vibe and the power to completely own you. Here’s what […]

Review: Be With Me by J. Lynn (Wait for You #2)
Have you ever had a book start off too fast? That happened to me with Be With Me. It started way too fast! Page #1 was literally talking about the romance already. That’s how far we jump into it. It’s just straight away drooling over […]
Review: Little Peach by Peggy Kern
The first line of Little Peach was: You ask me to tell you the truth, but I’m not sure you’ll believe me, even though I’ve practically killed myself to find you. Little Peach And my reaction was: “Oh dear lord. Please don’t have the main […]
Review: On the Edge by Allison van Diepen
The gang and thrill part of On the Edge was pretty awesome. I loved the danger and how people were standing up to violence, gangs, and all that goes with them (drugs, sex trafficking, etc.). What I liked less was the romance. I liked the […]
Taking on… Take Me On by Katie McGarry
My enjoyment levels I think the best way to show you my feelings for Take Me On is to show you this graph: I started out LOVING Take Me On. I liked the characters, I liked how Haley was this epic kickboxer and I was […]
Review: The Fire Artist by Daisy Whitney
I started out LOVING The Fire Artist. The idea of elemental magic as a performance art—almost like a sport actually—was very interesting. Then you bring Genies into the mix and it’s almost like baseball and steroids. Then an abuse element was introduced. Aria’s father tried […]
Review: Beautiful Oblivion by Jamie McGuire
There was a lot that I loved about Beautiful Oblivion. I think the most important thing that people will appreciate (I certainly did) was how strong of a main character Cami was. The synopsis doesn’t lie when it labels her as “fiercely independent”. That girl […]
Review: Breakable by Tammara Webber
I stopped reading at 23% I bought Breakable thinking it would be a “sure thing”… you know, a guaranteed 5-star book. I ADORED Easy so combining that with the fact that Breakable is loaded with 5 star reviews, I thought this was a slam dunk. […]
Tiger’s Promise by Colleen Houck
I’m bummed that Tiger’s Promise was only a novella; I could have read a whole book about Yesubai! I adored Yesubai’s story. It was inspiring, but tragic. There was a constant feeling of dread as I was reading the book (like “I think something bad […]
The Summer I Wasn’t Me by Jessica Verdi
I’m still trying to fully absorb this book. Normally I write my reviews immediately after I finish reading, but not with The Summer I Wasn’t Me. This book was so powerful, so intense, so horrifying, that I had to sit and absorb it all before […]
