I was terrified going into Falling Kingdoms. It’s marketed as being great for fans of George R.R. Martin. Unfortunately, I don’t like Martin’s books. I know what you’re thinking: “You don’t like A Song of Ice and Fire???” I’m afraid not, folks. I love the […]

Persephone by Kaitlin Bevis
Wow, this book was absolutely awesome! It was everything I hoped it would be. Persephone is perfect for all fans of Greek mythology. It’s a really unique take on the story of Persephone, and the book itself was un-put-down-able! I will admit that Persephone wasn’t […]
The Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken
My journey with The Darkest Minds was a strange and complex one. My enjoyment was all over the place: up, down, and everywhere in between. Since I’m a nerd, I don’t have funny GIFs for you; instead, I have a graph: My Enjoyment Levels — […]
Incarnate by Jodi Meadows
Incarnate was really conflicting for me. There are parts I enjoyed, and parts I really didn’t like. I was nervous going into it because I have friends who ABSOLUTELY FREAKING LOVE it, and I have friends who ABSOLUTELY FREAKING DESPISE it. Crazy, huh? I happen […]
Renegade by J.A. Souders
Holy smokes! Renegade was a whirlwind of lies, deceit, assassinations, and forbidden love! I barely even know where to begin! The world of Elysium is awesome. Pure awesome. I adored reading about this incredible environment and I could picture it so easily! I wanted to […]
Valkyrie Rising by Ingrid Paulson
Before Valkyrie Rising, I had never read a book about Norse mythology. This was the perfect book to introduce me! Valkyrie Rising is an action-packed, snarky romance that tell the story of Ellie—a girl who kicks some serious ass! Ellie is a fantastic main character. […]
Undeadly by Michele Vail
I was really excited to read Undeadly because it sounded like some kind of awesome Harry Potter zombie/reaping book! Totally cool, right? As promised, Undeadly had some awesome story elements, but the book itself wasn’t as great as I was hoping. My first issue with […]
Katya’s World by Jonathan L. Howard
Katya’s World is like no other book I’ve read! Maybe it’s because I don’t read a lot of hardcore science fiction, or maybe it is because this book is just so unique, but either way, this story and world was completely new to me. This […]
Origin by Jessica Khoury
Origin wasn’t a perfect book, but I found it to be a really enjoyable and intense read! I got through it really quickly and was never bored! But that being said, I can completely understand how this is a love it or hate it kind […]
Carnival of Souls by Melissa Marr
Sigh. Carnival of Souls was one of my most anticipated reads of the year. I think when I read the blurb I just saw “deadly competition that allows every daimon a chance to join the ruling elite,” and made assumptions. I assumed this was going […]
