Apple and Rain was not what I would call an action-packed story, but it was a very emotional and layered snapshot of of one teen’s grasp for a relationship with a mother that was a larger-than-life figure, in her mind. Apple experiences one of those ever so painful friend break-ups […]

Hold Me Like A Breath By Tiffany Schmidt
The first thing you realize about Penelope is that she is very much a prisoner. She is a prisoner to her rare illness and a prisoner to the fears of her parents. For that reason, she lives in a world where she is sheltered from the outside, but she is not sheltered from the […]
Lion Heart By A.C. Gaughen
Oh, how sad I am to see this series end. When I first picked up Scarlet, I was completely drawn in by the twist on the tale of Robin Hood, and as the story progressed it only got better. There was never a moment to relax in this story. Just when things seemed happy, […]
A Court Of Thorns And Roses By Sarah J. Maas
I have yet to tire of books set in the world of the Fae, and A Court of Thorns and Roses puts its own spin on an oft visited place in the land of fiction. While some elements were familiar, there was still newness to this particular world, so it did not feel overdone. […]

Of course, many of the members hate each other, but none more than Avery, whose status as the offspring of the’ affair with the nanny’ puts her in a particular place of ridicule. […]
Soulprint By Megan Miranda
The world of Soulprint is very interesting. In this world, not only is the idea of a soul accepted, but they can track where it goes after death and that idea is what made me want to read this story. The question of whether a soul determines who you are is at the […]
There Will Be Lies By Nick Lake
There Will Be Lies as a book that I thought would be one thing and ended up being something completely different. The book is narrated by Shelby, who is obviously very smart but also very sheltered. Her views on her life could be called typically teen, as she longs for more freedom, more excitement, and […]
Blog Tour: There Will Be Lies
In a bit of a role reversal, some of the bloggers participating in the tour for There Will Be Lies were asked to write a post for their stop. I was asked to write a little bit about superstitions, specifically, superstitions that are unique to Texas or the South. Since there is a lot […]
