Before Valkyrie Rising, I had never read a book about Norse mythology. This was the perfect book to introduce me! Valkyrie Rising is an action-packed, snarky romance that tell the story of Ellie—a girl who kicks some serious ass! Ellie is a fantastic main character. […]

Undeadly by Michele Vail
I was really excited to read Undeadly because it sounded like some kind of awesome Harry Potter zombie/reaping book! Totally cool, right? As promised, Undeadly had some awesome story elements, but the book itself wasn’t as great as I was hoping. My first issue with […]
Beta by Rachel Cohn
Beta was so much darker than I anticipated! If you’re looking for a light, interesting read about clones, look somewhere else. Beta has suicide, heartbreak, murder, drugs, rape, and slavery! WOW! Totally not what I expected, but I ended up loving it. This book is […]
Burning Blue by Paul Griffin
Wow, I absolutely ADORED this book! Burning Blue is told from two main points of view: Jay and entries from Nicole’s diary. There are a few others as well (like notes from the therapists), but those two are the key ones. Jay was a fabulous […]
Black City by Elizabeth Richards
Wow, wow, wow, wow!!! I feel like I still need time to process Black City’s awesomeness. I feel like my review will barely do it justice, but here it goes.. Guys, I am a sucker for forbidden love stories, and this is definitely one of […]
Katya’s World by Jonathan L. Howard
Katya’s World is like no other book I’ve read! Maybe it’s because I don’t read a lot of hardcore science fiction, or maybe it is because this book is just so unique, but either way, this story and world was completely new to me. This […]
Ashen Winter by Mike Mullin
Right off the bat, it’s obvious that I’m not rating Ashen Winter as high as Ashfall. Ashen Winter was a fascinating story that once again really dives into disaster and humanity (or lack thereof), but at the end of the day, I don’t feel like […]
Ten by Gretchen McNeil
I almost didn’t read this book for one reason: I don’t read horror. I like some horror/mystery movies, but I’m extremely picky. And until now, I had never read a book in that genre. At first, Ten was an intriguing book with an EXTREMELY annoying […]
Origin by Jessica Khoury
Origin wasn’t a perfect book, but I found it to be a really enjoyable and intense read! I got through it really quickly and was never bored! But that being said, I can completely understand how this is a love it or hate it kind […]
Carnival of Souls by Melissa Marr
Sigh. Carnival of Souls was one of my most anticipated reads of the year. I think when I read the blurb I just saw “deadly competition that allows every daimon a chance to join the ruling elite,” and made assumptions. I assumed this was going […]
