You have no idea how much I wanted to (and almost could have) love this book. The premise—girl meets prince and doesn’t know he’s a prince—is PERFECT. Add in Rome and it’s beyond perfect. But sadly the book didn’t quite work up to my hopes. […]

A Romance That Takes Place in Tokyo! (Review: Seven Days of You)
Seven Days of You was… okay. To be honest, I think Tokyo was my favourite part about it. The setting added something extra to the book, and I think without that unique element it would have gotten a lower rating from me. The very nature […]
Draaaagons! (The Dragon’s Price by Bethany Wiggins)
WHAT A COOL IDEA!! ^ That’s the #1 thing I have to say about The Dragon’s Price. I looove the idea of this book. There are so many cool and exciting concepts! I won’t tell you about the most epic thing, because it’s not in […]
If You’re in the Mood for Something Warm and Fuzzy: By Your Side by Kasie West
Love love love! By Your Side was exactly what I wanted when I read it: adorable, warm, fun, and a little fluffy. Did I mention warm? The book actually talks a lot about the cold but something about reading it all snuggled up under blankets […]
I Fell in Love With a Fantasy Series! (just like I hoped!)
When I talked about my reading goals for 2017 I said I wanted to fall in love with a new fantasy series… and I already have! Funnily enough, I also said this in that same post: “I’ve actually just started The Demon King, so it’s […]
I Think I’m Not a Fan of Wonderland
Shortly after starting Heartless by Marissa Meyer I realized something that I probably should have known already… …I don’t like the Wonderland universe… It’s not because of Heartless at all — I just don’t like Wonderland in general. I’m just not a fan of that […]
Do You Like Gaming? This Book is for You!
Thank goodness Arena made a comeback! My timeline of thoughts was pretty much: Oohh, cool. Mmhmm.. Ugh, drugs. STAAAAHHHPPP Maybe I’ll DNF. Okay she’s coming to her senses. Fuck yes, awesome. YESSSSS Too far. Hmm, okay awesome. I was so close to putting Arena down, […]
The Diabolic: Where a Girl Rips Out Someone’s Heart With Her Bare Hands
My favourite part about The Diabolic is easy: it’s about a “killing machine” who actually kills. Often in YA the synopsis will describe a “killing machine” or “female badass” or “epic assassin”, but they never actually show any true badassery or brutality. This is so […]
Nemesis by Anna Banks Gave the Wrong First Impression
My first impression. The title (“Nemesis”) -> To me, screams intense, awesome, badass warrior girl on a mission for revenge. (Or maybe some kind of undercover operation.) The cover (which I love) -> Reinforces everything about the title. Kind of a stone cold killer warrior […]
I Was Looking Forward to this Book So Much… then it fell flat
I had my eye on Stealing Home for months! I’m a big Nicole Williams fan. I loved the Crash series (five stars all around!) and while I liked Lost & Found a little less, I still enjoyed it quite a bit. So when the synopsis […]
