I was actually fully prepared to give Heart of Iron 4 stars because I enjoyed it a lot, but then I didn’t like how things turned up in the end. I really didn’t like who turned into a bad guy. Ending spoiler: It just kind […]

Review: Honor Among Thieves by Ann Aguirre and Rachel Caine
Honor Among Thieves was a good book (and OMG look at that cover!) but sadly I didn’t really connect with it the way I hoped I would. This led to me being indifferent about the book overall. I didn’t love it, but I didn’t hate […]
Review: The Loneliest Girl in the Universe (when a book ends up not being what expected… at all)
I absolutely adored the first 2/3rds or 3/4ths of the story, but then it completely twisted in a new, totally unexpected direction. It wasn’t necessarily bad, it just wasn’t what I expected.
If You Loved Illuminae, Read Defy the Stars Next!
I kind of got Defy the Stars on a whim. I got one of those emails from NetGalley that was all like, “READ NOW for the first 500 members!” Those emails always make me panic. Normally, before I get anything from NetGalley I put it […]

I have been on one hell of a science fiction binge lately and it all started with Illuminae. I’ve actually had an ARC of Illuminae sitting around since BookExpo America 2015. I just never read it. I think I was intimidated by two things: The […]

I thought that Dangerous—a supposed young adult book—sounded intriguing and intense with a hint of romance. I was PSYCHED! Well, it turns out this is so not young adult. My first impression was: this book is really rushed. All within about 15 pages we have […]
Avalon by Mindee Arnett
Avalon is a really unique book in the world of young adult books, and is perfect for sci-fi fans! There are very few YA books out there like this.. if any! When I first started reading, I felt like I was playing Star Wars: The […]
Shades of Earth by Beth Revis
Death will come on swift wings to whomsoever opens this book. This. Book. Has. So. Much. Death. Beth Revis is like a fiction mass murderer. I did not expect so many people to die in Shades of Earth. It’s written like a realistic war book. […]
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 […]
Across the Universe by Beth Revis
Since starting my blog, this is the first book I’ve read that I absolutely adored but feel like I have no idea how to review! It just left me in awe and I feel like no words can describe my love for this book. So […]
