Lady Midnight by Cassandra Clare | Rating: ★★★★☆ (4.5) When you love someone, they become a part of who you are. They're in everything you do. They're in the air you breathe and the water you drink and the blood in your veins. Their touch stays on your skin and their voice stays in your ears and their thoughts stay in your mind....

10:30 AM
PrevNext
Sometimes, a family is like an ear of summer corn: It might look perfect on the outside, but when you peel the husk away, every kernel is rotten. With the DiLaurentises, the girl who seemed like the victim might just have been the tormentor. Sending Courtney away might have just been Ali’s master plan. And maybe, just maybe, all Courtney wanted was what...

Spring has officially sprung and this means plenty of opportunities are arising and summer is nearly here!

Invincible by Amy Reed | Rating: ★★★★★ "No one knows what to do with me now that I'm alive. There's no protocol for how to treat someone who comes back from the dead. There are so many books about grief and loss, about saying good-bye to the people you love. But there is no book about taking back that good-bye." As a note,...

Unbecoming by Jenny Downham | Rating: ★★★★☆ (4.5) As a note, a printed galley of this novel was sent to me by the publisher in exchange for an honest review. This does not effect my opinions in any way. Three women, three generations, three secrets–Unbecoming is all of these things. Jenny Downham portrays three different voices in such an incredibly touching way that...

The Siren by Kiera Cass | Rating: ★★☆☆☆ (2.5) “There’s always room for love. Even if it’s as small as a crack in the door.” As someone who has been a massive fan of Kiera Cass since the second I finished her The Selection series, it will come as no surprise to hear me say that I had looked forward to reading the...

It is the talisman that will protect the Elves against the black sorcery of the Demon hordes.” One of the newest books to my shelves is The Shannara Chronicles: The Elfstones of Shannara, the novel which served as the...

The Ruby Circle by Richelle Mead | Rating: ★★★★☆ (4.5) "Those words, that voice, had more power over me than any phantom ever could." My thoughts on the conclusion to a phenomenal series? I can’t even believe I am about to say this but The Ruby Circle is the first, and only, book in the Bloodlines series that I didn’t love. I liked...

Untwine by Edwidge Danticat | Rating: ★★★★★ “People say that things like this happen in slow motion, as though you suddenly become an astronaut in the antigravity chamber of your own life. This wasn't true for me. Things were speeding up instead, and I did my best to slow them down in my mind.” As a note, a finished copy of this novel...
