Review: Wolf By Wolf by Ryan Graudin (Wolf By Wolf #1)
Ryan Graudin’s Wolf By Wolf is a YA historical fiction novel with a very small science fiction-y twist. To be honest, I wasn’t sure I was going to enjoy Wolf by Wolf. I’m not a huge fan of historical fiction, and I really wasn’t sure how the “skinshifter” element was going to play out in the […]
Review: Bring Me Their Hearts by Sara Wolf (Bring Me Their Hearts #1)
Note: I received 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. Bring Me Their Hearts by Sara Wolf pleasantly surprised me. The plot, overall, is fairly predictable, but the characters Sara Wolf […]
Review: Truly Devious by Maureen Johnson (Truly Devious #1)
Truly Devious has been on my want to read list for months. Once the library told me it was available, I knew I had to read it. Unfortunately, it didn’t quite live up to what I had hoped. With mystery novels, I tend to enjoy the books that are more fast paced with a lot of […]
Review: Lies That Bind by Diana Rodriguez Wallach (Anastasia Phoenix #2)
**SPOILER ALERT: This review may contain spoilers for the first book in the series. Please do not read this review if you have not yet read Proof of Lies. Without reading the synopsis, I totally thought this book was going to be an adventure finding Marcus’s brother Antonio. I was wrong. They found him in […]

Review: Thief of Lies by Brenda Drake (Library Jumpers #1)
This review is based on my reread of Thief of Lies. For my initial review, please check out my review on Goodreads. I reread Thief of Lies in anticipation of the final book coming out on February 6th. I frequently suffer from book amnesia. Unless we’re talking about the book I’m currently reading, don’t expect me to […]
Review: Proof of Lies by Diana Rodriguez Wallach (Anastasia Phoenix #1)
Proof of Lies by Diana Rodrigues Wallach was a fun spy-themed mystery/thriller. The story had a ton of secrets, lots of action, and even a bit of romance. Anastasia has been jet-setting around the world with her scientist parents and her older sister. She’s a black belt and knows four languages. At the beginning of […]
Review: Pretty Dead Girls by Monica Murphy
Let’s talk about Pretty Dead Girls by Monica Murphy. I picked it up for two reasons. 1) I’ve loved EVERYTHING I’ve read by Monica Murphy thus far, and 2) I love YA mystery/thrillers. Pretty Dead Girls started off strong for me. I loved Penelope and Cass, the main character and her love interest. I loved the catty-ness between […]
