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 […]
Split Second by Kasie West
A few things are completely undeniable. Most importantly, Kasie West knows how to rock romances. She’s a master at creating two characters with mouth-watering chemistry. It’s seriously incredible! I knew Addie and Trevor had it, but Laila and Connor… ohhh damn. Hot stuff! But I […]
Cress by Marissa Meyer
I don’t even know how to review this book. I feel like it’s already so well established that the entire Lunar Chronicles series is amazing… because it is. And I promise, Cress is no different! This book rocks super hard. What else is there to […]
Maybe One Day by Melissa Kantor
I almost didn’t read Maybe One Day, and oh my god that would have been a massive mistake! I think my problem was that I like romance books, and this is not a romance; it’s about friendship. Those kinds of books usually don’t get me […]
The Secret Diamond Sisters by Michelle Madow
It breaks my heart to write this review. I feel like I’m about to rip the book to shreds, and that saddens me. I actually met the author (very, very briefly) at BEA last year. She was SO SWEET and so excited about her upcoming […]
Fire & Flood by Victoria Scott
I loooooved Fire & Flood! Honestly, the main thing that pulled me into this book was the “animal companion” aspect. I’ve always been a crazy fan of things like The Wild Thornberries, Pokémon, and The Golden Compass—TV shows, movies, and books that have some kind […]
Steelheart by Brandon Sanderson
OH MY GOD! This book!! Why did I not read you for like, a million years??? I swear, Steelheart and I have been playing the book equivalent of phone tag. I originally got a copy of it at BEA. I only really stood in line […]
Me Since You by Laura Wiess
Me Since You is hands down the most powerful and emotional book I have ever read. This book ripped me to emotional shreds. I have never cried so much over one book in my entire life. If you don’t like sad books, turn away now. […]
