Books featuring alternate worlds have always been my favorite, so when I read the jacket copy for Trial By Fire, I was in for the long haul. Josephine Angelini’s world creation was very good and I was immediately invested in not only the two worlds, but also the people who inhabited them. The Salem […]

Six Feet Over It By Jennifer Longo
I admit that I picked this book up because I am, and always have been, fascinated by grief. When I saw the jacket copy for Six Feet Over It, I knew that this story would be different, and I was right in the best possible way. While having to adjust to her strange new life […]
The Taking By Kimberly Derting
We meet Kyra shortly before she disappears for five years, and then after when she wakes up to discover that her whole life has changed without her. The journey she goes on to find out the truth takes her back to old loves, new loves, a new family, and a father whose “crazy” theories […]
Sisters’ Fate By Jessica Spotswood
I was so anxious to get my hands on this book because not only was the ending of book two almost too painful to bear, but I knew that the journey to the end of this series woudl be full of nail-biting, edge-of-your-seat story telling. I was right. Sisters’ Fate is the conclusion to […]
Silver Shadows By Richelle Mead
As The Fiery Heart ended, Sydney was dragged to “reeducation” and as Silver Shadows opens, she is still there, undergoing some pretty awful treatment in the name of reprogramming her brain. As with book 4, we get Adrian’s point of view and he has almost given up ever finding Sydney’s location. As they each […]
In Deep By Terra Elan McVoy
As the book progresses, you see her need to complete for everything start to erode friendships and romantic relationships. More interesting was that the people in her life, up to a certain point, were easily dissuaded. As long as she was swimming and seemed somewhat normal, her mom , step dad, and friends, […]
Breathe, Annie, Breathe By Miranda Kenneally
Full disclosure: I am extremely nonathletic, but I am a runner. I was excited to read this book because I really love this series, yes, but I was also curious about how a book that centered around running would remain exciting. It’s not the most exciting sport, unless you’re the one doing it. […]
Ex Libris Audio: Dreams Of Gods And Monsters
When I saw the size of the physical book and then saw the length of the audio (20 hours!) I was a little daunted, I admit. However, I am glad that the author took the time to complete this story, because had it been rushed, it would have been a real disservice to all of […]
Complicit By Stephanie Kuehn
Complicit is a book that tells you one story, and then kicks the foundation out from under you so that you aren’t sure what the story is or who should be telling it. Jamie is a good kid with a tragic past. It is the classic trope of one sibling “making it” while the […]
Blog Tour: The Kiss Of Deception By Mary E. Pearson
I am happily jumping on the bandwagon for The Kiss of Deception, and I’m even happier to share with you why I loved this book so much! I think it would be easy for a book like this one to be swept out to sea, so to speak, in a market that is so […]
