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. […]

This was great! Kelley Armstrong has become one of my favorite authors and I have been super impressed that she writes so many different genres so well. There has been some romance in some of her other books but I was thrilled to have the chance to read her first contemporary romance. I had rather […]

I enjoyed this book! I was intrigued by the fact that the story is a Mulan retelling and couldn’t wait to start reading. I had a lot of things going on in my life when I picked up this book but that is okay because it allowed me the time to savor the story. I […]

This was good! I had no idea what this book was about when I started listening. (Yes, I grabbed it for the cover alone. Don’t judge me) It didn’t take me long before Ellie’s story hooked me and I was completely invested in how things would work out in her life. I found this coming-of-age […]

I like weird books and this one definitely fits that description. The story started out with a bang and I was hooked. The story did meander a bit in the middle but the story still held my attention. The story was violent and gory at times so it may not work for all readers but […]

Okay, I am convinced that Alix E. Harrow can do no wrong. I have loved all of the books that I have read written by this amazingly talented author so far (I still need to read The Once and Future Witches and I promise to get to it sometime soon.). This story grabbed me from the very […]

I had a good time with this book! I am somewhat impressed by the fact that I was able to resist the call of donuts despite being the fact that they were mentioned frequently throughout the story. And I do like donuts! I picked this book up because I was in the mood for something […]
