I’m still trying to fully absorb this book. Normally I write my reviews immediately after I finish reading, but not with The Summer I Wasn’t Me. This book was so powerful, so intense, so horrifying, that I had to sit and absorb it all before […]

Torn by K.A. Robinson
Torn was really quick and easy for me to read. This was a huge contrast to the last few books I read, which took me DAYS. However, Torn wasn’t the book I was hoping it would be. I expected the book to be all about […]
The Here and Now by Ann Brashares
The world may end. We’re at the pivot point that will determine the future of humanity. This moment in time will doom us or save us. All we have to do is prevent one murder from happening, and we can save millions of lives… But […]
DNF: Plus One by Elizabeth Fama
Note: I put this book down at the 30% mark. My first impression: confusion. Right off the bat we’re thrown into this alternate reality. There’s a whole other caste system and tons of strange customs and traditions that were barely even explained. I was overwhelmed.. […]
The Winner’s Curse by Marie Rutkoski
As much as I enjoyed The Winner’s Curse, it didn’t completely blow my mind. Don’t get me wrong, I thought it was a very good book, but I didn’t think it was ZOMG SO FREAKING UNBELIEVABLY AMAZING!!! I think I just expected a bit more […]
Fragments by Dan Wells
Fragments really has me torn. I feel like there were a lot of pros and cons in this book. It wasn’t bad but I feel like there are a few things that I’m going to complain about a lot. What I Liked We do get […]
DNF: Dangerous by Shannon Hale
I thought that Dangerous—a supposed young adult book—sounded intriguing and intense with a hint of romance. I was PSYCHED! Well, it turns out this is so not young adult. My first impression was: this book is really rushed. All within about 15 pages we have […]
Sweet Peril by Wendy Higgins
I think Sweet Peril suffered a bit from second book syndrome. Anyone who fell in love with Sweet Evil probably adored the romance, but that aspect was yanked out of Sweet Peril. Kaidan is non-existent for about 75% of the book. It definitely made the […]
Side Effects May Vary by Julie Murphy
I was disappointed in Side Effects May Vary 🙁 There were two main problems for me: I didn’t like the “then” and “now” style of narration (I don’t think it worked well here), and the main character quickly became very unlikable, and that made it […]
Elusion by Claudia Gabel and Cheryl Klam
What I liked The tech! I loved all the technology talk! It spoke to my inner nerd. There’s a lot of talk about tablets, visors, gadgets, and other elusion equipment. We get a bit of programming talk as well. If you’re not a tech nerd […]
