A Wicked Thing is my favourite fairy tale retelling in a long time! It felt like a breath of fresh air. It kept pretty true to the Sleeping Beauty story I knew, but it breathed some fresh life into it. There were subtle (and not […]

Review: Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard
I need to say right off the bat that THE ENDING KICKS ASS!! It was so exciting, intense, and full of death! OMG! Aaaanyway! There was a bit of a romance/love triangle in Red Queen but it was subtle. I was glad for that because […]
Review: The Fire Artist by Daisy Whitney
I started out LOVING The Fire Artist. The idea of elemental magic as a performance art—almost like a sport actually—was very interesting. Then you bring Genies into the mix and it’s almost like baseball and steroids. Then an abuse element was introduced. Aria’s father tried […]
Review: The Jewel by Amy Ewing
The Jewel was an awesome book! …until the romance. But more on that later. 😉 I really loved the plot in The Jewel. I think it’s definitely similar in vibe to The Selection (which it’s being compared to). However, my feelings about it are the […]
Review: Heir of Fire by Sarah J. Maas… I Didn’t Love It (Shit!!)
I think there’s something wrong with me. I didn’t love Heir of Fire! 🙁 I look around and see people talking about loving it, about having cried and bawled their eyes out. But me? I was kind of bored. The book is 569 pages long, […]
Why Did I Not Love a Jinni Book?? (Exquisite Captive)
I stopped reading Exquisite Captive at the 20% mark. I’m just not that into you It’s not personal—Really. I didn’t hate you—Promise! I wasn’t ripping apart the pages. I just wasn’t that into you. …but it kind of breaks my heart. Jinnis are sooo cool! […]
Review: The Queen of the Tearling by Erika Johansen
The Queen of the Tearling was fantastic! It’s a perfect read if you’re into some high fantasy where you have a female who KICKS ASS! Kelsea, I swear fealty to you Kelsea was a fantastic main character. There’s nothing not to like about her. She’s […]
Tiger’s Promise by Colleen Houck
I’m bummed that Tiger’s Promise was only a novella; I could have read a whole book about Yesubai! I adored Yesubai’s story. It was inspiring, but tragic. There was a constant feeling of dread as I was reading the book (like “I think something bad […]
The Iron King by Julie Kagawa
Judging by all the amazing reviews, I expected The Iron King to wow me, but it sooo didn’t. The #1 problem for me was my lack of feeling towards this book. I didn’t care about any of it, really. I never cared about Meghan or […]
See Me by Wendy Higgins
See Me was a cute story with a very sweet and interesting romance! I really liked the “arranged marriage” aspect of this book; it made it feel very different. Rather than just stumbling upon McKale and falling in love with him, Robyn is introduced to […]
