I love a hot, juicy, tension-filled romance. But you know what I REALLY like? Being there in that romance every step of the way. I like being privy to all their “moments”, conversations, and “get to know you” steps. I like seeing the tension boil […]
A Whole New World started off painfully similar to the movie. Don’t get me wrong, I adore the movie Aladdin, but I want something different from a book. I don’t want a book to feel like someone is sitting there, watching the movie, and describing […]
The Heir, The Heir, The Heir… This is a tricky book for me to rate. On the one hand, I have such an obsession with the entire selection series, including The Heir. Something about this bachelor-style plot just completely owns me. I can’t get enough […]
A Wicked Thing is my favourite fairy tale retelling in a long time! It felt like a breath of fresh air. It kept pretty true to the Sleeping Beauty story I knew, but it breathed some fresh life into it. There were subtle (and not […]
I could cry a thousand tears over The Sin Eater’s Daughter. 🙁 I was initially drawn to this book by the GORGEOUS cover, then I read an AWESOME synopsis which backed up my first thought of, “HOLY FREAKING CRAP!!!” I had such high hopes for […]

The Jewel was an awesome book! …until the romance. But more on that later. 😉 I really loved the plot in The Jewel. I think it’s definitely similar in vibe to The Selection (which it’s being compared to). However, my feelings about it are the […]
The Queen of the Tearling was fantastic! It’s a perfect read if you’re into some high fantasy where you have a female who KICKS ASS! Kelsea, I swear fealty to you Kelsea was a fantastic main character. There’s nothing not to like about her. She’s […]
Overall, I adored The Kiss of Deception! The idea of the book is just so fabulous. A princess has an arranged marriage with the prince, but she’s never even met the guy so she certainly doesn’t love him, so she runs away. The prince sets […]
I’m bummed that Tiger’s Promise was only a novella; I could have read a whole book about Yesubai! I adored Yesubai’s story. It was inspiring, but tragic. There was a constant feeling of dread as I was reading the book (like “I think something bad […]
