The Rules reads surprisingly like a contemporary book, and that’s one of the things that made me love it so much. Although it does have sci-fi elements, they don’t dominate the story at all. It’s more about evil corporations, first loves, tender and hesitant romance, […]

Review & Giveaway: Stung by Bethany Wiggins
I really like the overall idea of Stung. Bees are on the verge of becoming extinct, so scientists genetically modify them, but then when they sting humans they give them deathly flu-like symptoms, then the scientists produce a ‘cure’ for this “Bee Flu”, which turns […]
Review & Giveaway: MILA 2.0 by Debra Driza
MILA 2.0 was everything I hoped it would be: intense, action-packed, and filled with awesome technology. But it was also more than that: it had a TOTALLY SWOONY romance—but it didn’t dominate the story, and it had one of the most alive characters I’ve ever […]
Orleans by Sherri L. Smith
I only read 20% of this book before deciding to not finish it. Keep that in mind while reading this review. I have only not finished a handful of books since starting my blog, and so far I haven’t actually posted those “reviews”. I usually […]
Requiem by Lauren Oliver
I had a couple ups and downs with Requiem, but at the end of the day, I enjoyed it. It is an intense conclusion to the series, with a lot at stake, and a lot to fight for. The Resistance really dominates this book—struggling to […]
Unravel Me by Tahereh Mafi
This book is ridiculous confusing. And I mean that in the best way. For starters, Tahereh Mafi drops about 8 bombs on us in this book. It’s like BAM big reveal, BAM bigger reveal, BAM your mind = blown. But beyond that, Unravel Me is […]
Dualed by Elsie Chapman
The first few chapters of this book blew me away. Like, blew my life to bits. The intensity, the devastation, the near-tears reaction, the morally questionable assassination… I got so wrapped up in the story and the kick-ass-ness that I think I lost my sanity […]
Pulse by Patrick Carman
This books is one big UGH! Pulse was such a huge disappointment for me—so mush so that I’m really dreading writing this review. I really, REALLY wanted to love this book—and I thought I would—but it fell so flat for me, and that kind of […]
Sanctum by Sarah Fine
Oh my god, you guys!!! I did not expect this book to be so amazing. I bought this book completely on a whim. I never do that. I saw an ad for it on my Kindle screensaver, thought “That’s kind of a cool cover,” and […]
Mind Games by Kiersten White
Mind Games was an okay book, but I was hoping it would be a lot better. The book isn’t nearly as intense or action-packed as I thought it would be. I think the problem with this book is that Fia is actually crazy. I went […]
