To Kill a Kingdom was everything it promised: sirens, kingdoms at war, enemies falling in love, and an interesting look at nature vs nurture.

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 […]
The Coldest Girl in Coldtown by Holly Black
The Coldest Girl in Coldtown is haunted and addictingly disturbing! This book starts off with a bang, and I promise it’s a sign of what’s to follow. It’s dark, gruesome, and gory. After that, I’ll admit that it took me a little while to get […]
Epilogue by CJ Roberts
I wanted Epilogue to be amazing. It was the book I turned to in my hour of darkness, when my “bad book” tally was up to 3 books in a row. I needed something great—a “guaranteed to be amazing” book. I chose Epilogue (no pressure). […]
Pretty Girl-13 by Liz Coley
Pretty Girl-13 completely took me by surprise! This book is really heavy. It’s dark, gritty, and deals with some seriously intense issues. I adored this book, but not in the usual girly, giddy, fan-girl-scream way. I adored Pretty Girl-13 in the sense that it really […]
Ashes and Ice by Rochelle Maya Callen
I think Ashes and Ice is a solid case of “not for me”. Although it wasn’t a perfect book overall, the main reason I’m giving this book 2.5 stars is because the plot took a direction that ultimately isn’t in line with my personal tastes. […]
Drowning Instinct by Ilsa J. Bick
Holy crap, Drowning Instinct was AMAZING! It was so intense and wrong and heartbreaking all in one. This book definitely would have been great to listen to as an audiobook; I kind of regret that I didn’t. Basically, the story starts off with Jenna being […]
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 […]
Bared to You by Sylvia Day
The first thing I noticed about Bared to You was that the writing is phenomenal! This is one of those books where I feel like I need to quote every other line because they’re all loaded with power, meaning, and intensity! And on top of […]
Ten by Gretchen McNeil
I almost didn’t read this book for one reason: I don’t read horror. I like some horror/mystery movies, but I’m extremely picky. And until now, I had never read a book in that genre. At first, Ten was an intriguing book with an EXTREMELY annoying […]
