Wow! False Memory totally took me by surprise! I first read the blurb and was kind of iffy about it. I have no idea why because it sounds SO AWESOME! Elite force of genetically-altered teens? Uhh, totally cool! But for some reason the blurb wasn’t […]

Delirium by Lauren Oliver
I don’t know why the heck I put off reading this book as long as I did. It’s been on my desk for like a month and I guess I was intimidated by the size of it (nearly 450 pages!) and the hype. I didn’t […]
Blackwood by Gwenda Bond
Blackwood was an engaging and fast paced read! Gwenda Bond does a great job of holding back just enough information to keep the reader engaged and ready for more. The book is made up of playful language that puts the reader on the same level […]
Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo
Before starting Shadow and Bone, I felt like I had no idea what to expect. For some reason I just wasn’t clicking with the blurb. In hindsight it sounds obvious enough, but at the time I just wasn’t getting what the book was about. So […]
Legend by Marie Lu
If you’re a cover whore like me, do not push this book aside because of the cover! There were at least 5 times where I saw a review or post about this book and just skipped over it because I thought the cover was dull, […]
Keep Holding On by Susane Colasanti
Susane Colasanti is amazing. I fell in love with Noelle on the first page. And that’s not an exaggeration. Noelle’s character has so much voice that I can literally feel her coming off the pages. She’s a teenager and she totally sounds like one! The […]
Confessions of an Angry Girl by Louise Rozett
I really connected with this book — way more than I thought I would. I thought it would just be a fun, entertaining contemporary read.. and it was, but it was also much more than that. This book hit me on a personal level because […]
A Million Suns by Beth Revis
This book is a great example of a sequel that is even BETTER than the first book! A Million Suns even starts off with a totally mind-blowing bang! When I first read the Goodreads summary (which is like 1/3rd the length of the above summary […]
Shift by M.R. Merrick
Just like in Exiled, there is never a dull moment in Shift! It is totally action packed and full of adventure or intense moments. In the first third of the book we have Rayna nearly shapeshifting into a cat, Chase & Co. joining the Circle […]
Slated by Teri Terry
Slated has one of the coolest stories to it. Ever. It takes place in futuristic England where young teenage criminals are given a second chance. Rather than being put to death or imprisoned for life, they can be “rehabilitated” by being Slated. Their memories and […]
