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 […]
Addicted to Space Travel Books
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 […]
The Diabolic: Where a Girl Rips Out Someone’s Heart With Her Bare Hands
My favourite part about The Diabolic is easy: it’s about a “killing machine” who actually kills. Often in YA the synopsis will describe a “killing machine” or “female badass” or “epic assassin”, but they never actually show any true badassery or brutality. This is so […]
DNF: Dangerous by Shannon Hale
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 […]
These Broken Stars by Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner
These Broken Stars was… phenomenal! I dove right into it because I heard some say it felt like Titanic in space, and I love Titanic! While the beginning does feel a bit like that, the rest of the book is something entirely different. I feel […]
Tumble & Fall by Alexandra Coutts
Tumble & Fall is such a tough book for me to review because there were so many things I loved about this book, but there were also some things I didn’t like. I think it’s going to be really hard for me to touch on […]
