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 […]

3 Reasons I Loved The Thousandth Floor
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.” […]
Person + Computer + Blue Screen of Death = Drugs (say whaaaat?)
Bluescreen was such an AWESOME and original idea. I’m a computer nerd so to read about computers in peoples BRAINS and such a unique “computer drug” idea… loved it!! For the first half of the book I literally just could not get over the idea […]
Review: The Heir by Kiera Cass
The Heir, The Heir, The Heir… This is a tricky book for me to rate. On the one hand, I have such an obsession with the entire selection series, including The Heir. Something about this bachelor-style plot just completely owns me. I can’t get enough […]
Review: The Cage by Megan Shepherd
The Cage is like my diamond in the rough. I almost didn’t even request this book. I downloaded all the HarperCollins books I wanted on Edelweiss and passed on The Cage. A few days later, I decided to come back and grab it. I’M SO […]
Review: Material Girls by Elaine Dimopoulos
I started out liking Material Girls. I think it had a super powerful message and I could easily draw comparisons to our real lives! It’s like the current fashion world, but multiplied and blasted into the future. You know how there are trends today? Things […]
Review: Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard
I need to say right off the bat that THE ENDING KICKS ASS!! It was so exciting, intense, and full of death! OMG! Aaaanyway! There was a bit of a romance/love triangle in Red Queen but it was subtle. I was glad for that because […]
How Could I Have Almost Not Read The Book of Ivy?
I LOVE it when I give a book five stars without hesitation. And to think that I almost didn’t read The Book of Ivy. I saw it on NetGalley. Pass. I saw it in Entangled Teen’s newsletter. Pass. Why the bloody hell did I keep […]
Review: The Body Electric by Beth Revis
I LOVED The Body Electric! It was exactly what I needed to get excited about books again. The Body Electric was riddled with government conspiracies, science experiments, and secrets! ALL OF MY FAVOURITE THINGS!! You know what one of my favourite things is? When there’s […]
Review: Captive by Aimée Carter
For the most part, I really liked Captive. It was a really good second book in a series and actually felt important (unlike most second books). We had an intense story about Elsewhere, which was really cool to read about! Plus there were more secrets, […]
