I never know quite what to expect when I read a Marcus Sedgwick novel, and once again, he has written a book that I really enjoyed, but have a hard time explaining. The Ghosts Of Heaven is written in four parts that are interconnected and all have a common thread, if you will. That […]

First Frost By Sarah Addison Allen
Since Garden Spells is one of my favorite books, I was beyond thrilled to find out that SAA would be writing a book set in that world, once again. First Frost takes place about 10 years after the events of Garden Spells and we find both Waverley Daughters more settled than they have ever […]
Mortal Gods By Kendare Blake
Oh, how I love this series. Stories that draw on Greek mythology are plentiful, but none are as gritty and bloody as this series, and it is that unflinching look at the war that the Gods face that make this series stand out. I found myself just as captivated by Mortal Gods as I was […]
Bleed Like Me By Christa Desir
This book contains a storyline that involves self-harm. The first thing you should know about Bleed Like Me is that it is a love story. The second thing you should know is that calling it a love story doesn’t mean it won’t also be very disturbing. Gannon’s family situation is consumed by the three boys […]
Blue Lily, Lily Blue By Maggie Stiefvater
Blue, Gansey, Adam, Ronan, and Noah are quickly becoming my favorite literary gang of all time. The Dream Thieves was really more Ronan’s story, but in Blue Lily, Lily Blue we return to the structure of The Raven Boys. We are back with the whole group, getting a more global view of the story as […]
Unmade By Sarah Rees Brennan
It was with great trepidation that I picked up Unmade, the last in the Lynburn series. Oh, book series that has been the bringer of such glorious pain! How can I say goodbye? How will Sarah Rees Brennan find ways to torture her readers as this series ends? She finds ways, y’all, oh […]
Ashes To Ashes By Jenny Han and Siobhan Vivian
After the ending of Fire With Fire, I was more than a little anxious to begin the final installment in this fantastic series. Ashes To Ashes was full of drama and, yes, more than a little danger. Mary’s realization about herself turned her into someone to be reckoned with. While Kat and Lillia try […]
Heir Of Fire By Sarah J. Maas
The revelation about Celaena at the end of book two serves to sever many of the bonds she made in the first two books, but it also sets in motion a journey that she was going to have to take sooner or later. One of the strongest aspects of this series […]
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 […]
Ex Libris Audio: The Thousand Dollar Tan Line
The Thousand-Dollar Tan Line picks up a few months after the movie ends, and Veronica is trying to keep Mars Investigations afloat while her father recovers from the serious injuries he sustained from a hit and run accident. I really loved being back in this world and those of you that are clamoring for more […]
