There is a lot about music in this book, as you would expect, but it also takes on the classic road trip story, full of weird encounters and unusual characters. Also, it will make you laugh. I was listening to some of this at work and got few weird looks for laughing out loud […]

Blog Tour: Night Speed By Chris Howard
Night Speed centers around a drug called tetra that is used by criminals and law enforcement, alike. Right away, the fact that both sides were both using it, intrigued me. In order to catch the criminals, the police had to hire teens to take that very drug in order to catch the people who were […]
Burning Midnight By Will McIntosh
Burning Midnight was a sci-fi story that I think would be a great fit for someone new to the genre, or for a reader who is well versed. It was a great combination of a very appealing contemporary story with fun science fiction elements. The world that was created was interesting because it’s exactly like […]
See How They Run By Ally Carter
No one writes about spies and espionage quite like Ally Carter, and after enjoying All Fall Down, I was very excited to read See How They Run. We get to meet Grace’s brother in See How They Run, and he was n interesting character. Obviously, after what they went through as a family, […]
Passenger By Alexandra Bracken

Their entire communication system is visual, so when people start going blind, it starts to look like a desperate situation. For Fei, it becomes more […]
The White Rose By Amy Ewing
The Jewel ended with a very good (painful) cliffhanger so I was eager to start The White Rose and to pick up Violet’s quest, once again. After the debacle with Ash, they were in terrible danger, but with the help of two very unlikely allies, they barely escape. That is when the story really starts […]
Blog Tour: The Detour
The first thing you might think of when you read the jacket copy for The Detour is the classic Misery by Stephen King, and while this book definitely explores some of the same themes, it takes a few twists that make it its own story. To begin with, the author created the mythical young […]
Firewalker By Josephine Angelini
When we left Lily, she was burning herself on a pyre so that she and Rowan could escape the dangers of the other Salem. Much of Firewalker was spent trying to build Lily’s army, or at least decide what to do, in her world. I really loved seeing Rowan and Lily in the […]
