I have read no other book like Monstrous Beauty. We have mermaids, ghosts, history, lineage, love, heartbreak, and a fascinating story with multiple characters whose lives, deaths, and fates are all intertwined. I love how Monstrous Beauty is told in two different time periods: modern […]

Doomed by Tracy Deebs
I was nervous about starting Doomed. I’m a computer nerd, gaming nerd, web design nerd, and all kinds of internet geeky. I wanted Doomed to rock my universe. I wanted it to knock my pants off. I was afraid that perhaps I had overhyped it […]
Drowning Instinct by Ilsa J. Bick
Holy crap, Drowning Instinct was AMAZING! It was so intense and wrong and heartbreaking all in one. This book definitely would have been great to listen to as an audiobook; I kind of regret that I didn’t. Basically, the story starts off with Jenna being […]
Prophecy by Ellen Oh
Propecy, Prophecy, Prophecy. How do I review you? As for my rating, I was constantly juggling between 2 stars, 3 stars, then 2.5 stars.. I thought I had settled on 2.5, but then after I wrote my review, I decided to change it to 2. […]
Through the Ever Night by Veronica Rossi
Since I wasn’t completely sold on Under the Never Sky, I was afraid I would feel the same way about Through the Ever Night, but Veronica Rossi managed to rock my world with this book! It almost makes me wonder if I just wasn’t in […]
Splintered by A.G. Howard
I was not prepared for how heartbreaking the beginning of this book would be. As the story begins, we learn about Alyssa and her family—particularly her mom, who’s locked up in a mental hospital. It’s devastating. A.G. Howard is a genius with emotion-dripping pages. Who […]
Daughter of the Earth and Sky by Kaitlin Bevis
I’m kind of bummed that I didn’t quite enjoy Daughter of the Earth and Sky as much as Persephone. It was still a pretty good book, but I think I started nitpicking at a few things that bugged me, and then that was all I […]
Angelfall by Susan Ee
This is one of those books I was a little nervous going into because of all the hype and the rave reviews. Lately I have read a lot of books that people loved, but I didn’t end up enjoying them that much. Luckily, Angelfall completely […]
Goddess Interrupted by Aimée Carter
I was addicted to this book! Almost every chapter ends with a little mini cliffhanger. I kept telling myself, “Okay, one more chapter and then I’ll go to bed,” but then the chapter would end with Henry entering the room bleeding! So I’d be like […]
Under the Never Sky by Veronica Rossi
Man, this is a tough one for me to review. This is one of those books that EVERYONE LOVES THE PANTS OFF OF… except for me. I didn’t hate Under the Never Sky, but I didn’t love it; for me it was just okay. The […]
