Objectively, Frostblood ticked so many boxes that should have made me fall in love with it. But sadly, that’s not what happened. The book missed out on that connection. I never really got invested in the characters or story. The world building was kind of […]
Shortly after starting Heartless by Marissa Meyer I realized something that I probably should have known already… …I don’t like the Wonderland universe… It’s not because of Heartless at all — I just don’t like Wonderland in general. I’m just not a fan of that […]
Thank goodness Arena made a comeback! My timeline of thoughts was pretty much: Oohh, cool. Mmhmm.. Ugh, drugs. STAAAAHHHPPP Maybe I’ll DNF. Okay she’s coming to her senses. Fuck yes, awesome. YESSSSS Too far. Hmm, okay awesome. I was so close to putting Arena down, […]
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 […]

I always know who to turn to when I want a fun, relatable, sports romance: Miranda Kenneally. She can do no wrong. The Hundred Oaks series is full of delicious, wonderful, sporty books. All crazy fun! Defending Taylor was no different. I loved all the […]
I actually first read The Winner’s Curse two years ago (you can read my full review if you want) and never continued the rest of the series. It’s not that I didn’t want to, I just didn’t have a huge urge to and it seemed […]
738 Days is the kind of book that rips your world apart and slowly tries to put the pieces back together. Kind of like The Sea of Tranquility. In hindsight, it TOTALLY has that same vibe and the power to completely own you. Here’s what […]
