Vortex didn’t quite have the same magic for me that Insignia did. It was still a good book, it just didn’t have me screaming and shrieking like an excited, insane girl. Vortex had a bit of a slower start and I didn’t get fully sucked […]

Review & Giveaway: The Distance Between Us by Kasie West
The Distance Between Us was adorable! For the most part it was everything I hoped it would be. It’s sweet, hesitant, romantic, and proves that first impressions aren’t always right. But the best part about this book was the amount of pure chemistry between Caymen […]
Blog Tour Review & Giveaway: Confessions of an Almost-Girlfriend by Louise Rozett
Confessions of an Almost-Girlfriend was exactly what I wanted it to be: real, raw, unfiltered high school… in all its awkwardness. Just like the previous book, Confessions of an Angry Girl, this book doesn’t romanticize high school. It isn’t all butterflies, swoony boys, and first […]
Let the Sky Fall by Shannon Messenger
I’m not entirely sure how I feel about Let the Sky Fall. There were several things I didn’t like about this book, but there were a few things I did like. Ultimately, I wasn’t left with a sense of either love or hate. For the […]

The Dark Shore by Kevin Emerson
Hmm. I have very mixed feelings about The Dark Shore. I started out a little nervous because it had been so long since I’d read The Lost Code and I was afraid I’d have no idea what was going on. Luckily, things are recapped pretty […]
For Darkness Shows the Stars by Diana Peterfreund
For Darkness Shows the Stars is the kind of book that I don’t think is bad, but I think it requires the right person and the right tastes in order to enjoy it. Unfortunately for me, I don’t think I’m the right person. This book […]
This Is What Happy Looks Like by Jennifer E. Smith
I was first drawn to This Is What Happy Looks Like because my boyfriend and I met online and I loved the idea of reading a book about people who meet through e-mail! Now their story doesn’t come close to how my boyfriend and I […]
PODs by Michelle K. Pickett
Before anything else, I have a warning for you about PODs. The synopsis you see on Goodreads/Amazon describes like 95% of the ENTIRE book (instead of maybe the 25-45% you usually get). It literally leaves nothing to be explored or discovered when actually reading the […]
Spies and Prejudice by Talia Vance
Spies and Prejudice started out really strong for me. I loved Berry’s voice, her name (!!), her whole “spy girl” thing, and her Saint Bernard. The plot was interesting, the best friend character (Mary Chris) was great.. We were rolling! But then my interest dropped […]
