For Darkness Shows the Stars is the kind of book that I don’t think is bad, but I think it requires the right person and the right tastes in order to enjoy it. Unfortunately for me, I don’t think I’m the right person. This book […]

PODs by Michelle K. Pickett
Before anything else, I have a warning for you about PODs. The synopsis you see on Goodreads/Amazon describes like 95% of the ENTIRE book (instead of maybe the 25-45% you usually get). It literally leaves nothing to be explored or discovered when actually reading the […]
Review & Giveaway: Transparent by Natalie Whipple
Transparent was so much fun! I thought this book sounded awesome, but then I got nervous when I read several ‘meh’ reviews of it. But luckily, I ended up really loving the book! In some ways, Transparent almost read like a contemporary book. It’s not […]
September Girls by Bennett Madison
In a summary, September Girls is: Despite hearing some scary things about this book, I tried to go into it hopeful. I actually didn’t hate it right away. Then the awkward sexual sentences started rolling in randomly… but I still didn’t hate it. They were […]
Astarte’s Wrath by Trisha Wolfe
Astarte’s Wrath is perfect for any huge Egyptian mythology buffs. Riddled with war, chaos, history, and mythology, this book is intense, full of action, and tragic. It takes place during the Battle of Actium (between Octavian of Rome and Cleopatara of Egypt) so it’s safe […]
Reboot by Amy Tintera
I was a bit nervous about Reboot at first. Well, first I was excited. Then reviews started trickling in, talking about how it was a new take on zombies, and then I got nervous. I’m not usually a big fan of zombie books… But I’m […]
The Program by Suzanne Young
Wowie, The Program book was awesome! Even though the synopsis hints at a love story, I didn’t expect it to dominate the book the way it did. I think I expected more of a sci-fi than a romance, but I was pleasantly surprised to find […]
The Ward by Jordana Frankel
Overall, I thought The Ward was a really interesting and intriguing story. In some ways, it surprised me. The Ward has more of a fantasy spin than I originally anticipated. I think I expected a lot more realistic science; and while The Ward does have […]
Natural Born Angel by Scott Speer
My enjoyment for Natural Born Angel is all over the map, and that’s one of the reasons why I was so unsure about how to rate it (and I’m still kind of unsure). That means, it’s time to whip out the ol’ Enjoyment Graph so […]
The Rules by Stacey Kade
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, […]
