Jennifer Lynn Barnes is one of my go-to authors. I’ve read most of the books she’s published, and if I haven’t read it, I want to read it. She is one of my favorite YA mystery authors, and she did not disappoint with The Lovely and the Lost. It was full of fun characters, dogs with […]

Review: Ask Me Anything by Molly E. Lee
I’m going to throw this out there now. If it wasn’t obvious from the synopsis, Ask Me Anything by Molly E. Lee is a very sex-positive novel. Personally, I think Lee addressed the topic of sex education in a very unique and positive way, and I absolutely loved it. Not only is it a solid YA […]
Review: Eyes on Me by Rachel Harris
Note: I received a copy of this book for free from the publisher. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review in any way. All opinions shared are my own. As a former valedictorian and as a fan of Dancing with the Stars, I had a gut feeling Eyes on […]
Review: Smoke and Key by Kelsey Sutton
I didn’t know what to expect going into Smoke and Key by Kelsey Sutton. The synopsis sounded interesting, and I assumed it would wind up with Smoke and Key together based upon the title. It truly turned out to be a page-turner. Sutton crafted a mysterious story that makes the reader wonder what happened before all the […]
Review: Light Years by Kass Morgan (Light Years #1)
Light Years by Kass Morgan was great! I loved the idea of the story and the synopsis. However, I’ll admit, I was skeptical that the story would work with four points of view. Morgan surprised me and interwove the POVs in a way that smoothly propels the plot. She also created a diverse group of characters, which I […]
Review: Analiese Rising by Brenda Drake
I thoroughly enjoyed Brenda Drake’s Library Jumpers series. (If you haven’t read that series yet, I highly recommend it!) So I was more than excited to have the opportunity to read her upcoming release Analiese Rising. Analiese Rising follows Analiese or Ana for short who unknowingly has the powers to raise the dead and turn them into […]
Review: Flame in the Mist by Renee Ahdieh (Flame in the Mist #1)
I finally read Flame in the Mist. It’s been on my TBR for ages, and I finally got a copy through my library to read. I’m so glad that I took the time to delve into the world of Flame in the Mist. I absolutely loved the Feudal Japan era and the Japanese characters. It’s been so […]
Review: Nearly Found by Elle Cosimano (Nearly Gone #2)
I finally read Nearly Found by Elle Cosimano, the follow up to Nearly Gone. Nearly Gone was one of my favorite reads in 2014 when it was released. I remember recommending it as a bookseller. & I was HIGHLY anticipating reading Nearly Found. (By the way, you can check out my review for Nearly Gone on my Goodreads page.) Fast […]
Review: What You Hide by Natalie D. Richards
What You Hide by Natalie D. Richards was the first book in a long while that I read in a single day. I loved delving into the relationship between Spencer and Mallory. I didn’t find it as thrilling as I hoped it would be; however, it was still quite the page-turner. What You Hide does touch […]
Review: All the Crooked Saints by Maggie Stiefvater
Maggie Stiefvater’s All the Crooked Saints was very unique. It’s about the miracles the Soria family perform, the pilgrims that come for miracles, and a boy that has come to work for the Soria family in exchange for a box truck. To start off, All the Crooked Saints has the very typical Maggie Stiefvater writing style, which […]
