I admit that I was pretty lukewarm about the first book, Alienated. It was a fun read, but it didn’t blow me away. However, Invaded was a much different, better developed, story and I ended up really liking it. The world that is introduced in book one is expanded upon in Invaded, as usually […]

When By Victoria Laurie
Maddie Flynn can see when you are going to die. Not how, mind you, only when. As with any gift, the burden of it can almost be too much to bear sometimes. It is this way with Maddie as her clients either don’t believe her or become angry with her, but the money she earns […]
Rogue Wave By Jennifer Donnelly
Rogue Wave was a fun expansion of the story and detailed world building that was started in book one, Deep Blue. There were ghosts, dragons, evil monsters, and diabolical political plots, just t name a few things. The story switched between the perspectives all of the mermaids so that the reader could really see what […]

After surviving a serial killer and coming to terms, somewhat, with her mother’s murder, Cassie is dealing with her feelings about her close call and escape from a killer in their midst, while still getting to […]
Don’t Look Back By Jennifer L. Armentrout

Besides the mystery of what happened to her best friend, there was also the […]

Nantucket Red By Leila Howland
Nantucket Red starts as Cricket is about to begin her last year of high school and this section of the book gives the reader a bit of a whirlwind of Cricket’s senior year, which might seem odd, but keep in mind that the focus of this series is the summer. That being said, I still […]
