This was fun!  When she was little, my oldest daughter was obsessed with The Wizard of Oz. I cannot tell you how many times I have seen this movie. I have a huge soft spot for dogs, so the idea of a retelling of The Wizard of Oz from Toto’s point of view felt like something that […]

I really liked this book! I did need to start over a few times, but that was not an issue with the book. It was an issue with my focus instead. What can I say? It happens. Once I was able to concentrate, I didn’t want to stop reading. Iz and Warren were fantastic characters, […]

This was fantastic! I was a fan of the first book in this series but I have to say that I liked this book even more. I was thrilled that the book opened with a summary of the first book which really helped me get my mind back into this world that Emiko lives in. […]

Kingfisher is quickly becoming […]

I enjoyed this second book in the Wilderwood duology. You really need to read For the Wolf before picking this one up to understand exactly what is going on with these characters. This book picks up right after the events from the first book. Neve is in the Shadowlands while Red is in the Wilderwood and desperate […]

This was phenomenal! This is easily my favorite book so far this year. It really is just that good. I went into this book without a lot of expectations. I was intrigued by the book’s description, especially the part about the chicken possessed by a demon, so I was hopeful that it would be a […]
