SIGH. That’s how I feel about Cruel Beauty. For starters, I think that Cruel Beauty was just nothing like I expected. Almost right away it becomes clear that there’s a huge connection to Greek mythology, and while I normally love Greek mythology, I just didn’t […]

World After by Susan Ee
I need to start out with a quote from another reviewer, because they said it perfectly: “75% Meh and 25% AWESOMENESS” MP “Iheartbooks” This is is 100% accurate. I was bored for the first 75% of World After. That large portion of the story reads […]
Waterfell by Amalie Howard
Waterfell barely qualifies as a mermaid book. The problem is that Nerissa has spent most of her recent life on land, so about 95% of the book takes place on land, in high school, with high school drama, and high school love interests. There are […]
Fractured by Sarah Fine
SOB, SOB, SOB That’s how I feel about my indifference towards this book. I am devastated. I thought I’d love it. 🙁 I’m sad to say that Fractured has so many typical elements of a second book in a series. The plot isn’t that fast […]
The Naturals by Jennifer Lynn Barnes
I LOVED THIS BOOK!!! Here’s what the synopsis for The Naturals says on NetGalley: Think The Mentalist meets Pretty Little Liars—Jennifer Lynn-Barnes’ The Naturals is a gripping psychological thriller with killer appeal, a to-die-for romance, and the bones of a gritty and compelling new series. […]
Blackout by Robison Wells
Blackout started out incredibly strong! I loved the characters, the mystery, and the suspense. I was completely hooked and breezed right through the first half or so. This book felt very X-Men-esque. People start developing powers, but there are so many people who aren’t aware […]
The Chaos of Stars by Kiersten White
I am hugely disappointed by The Chaos of Stars, mainly because I’m a HUGE fan of Egyptian mythology. But the book really fell flat for me. Let me break it down for you: Isadora, human daughter of Egyptian gods, hates her family because she feels […]
Scorched by Mari Mancusi
I LOVED Scorched! Most of all, I adored the story. That’s what rocked this book. I mean, dragons? DRAGONS!! YES! DRAGONS! There were just so many elements that appealed to me. The dragons (duh), the idea of a “chosen one”, the time travel, the apocalypse, […]
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 […]
Crown of Midnight by Sarah J. Maas
Throne of Glass was a great book, but Crown of Midnight rocks ten times harder! Seriously… Crown of Midnight was INCREDIBLE!!! I actually think it was even better than Throne of Glass! It was so intense, the plot moved swiftly, there are EPIC twists/turns/unveilings, and […]
