Queen Of Shadows By Sarah J. Maas
Even though I pre-ordered this book, there was such a furor surrounding its release that I wanted to give it a little space before I read and reviewed it. I’m glad I did. Queen Of Shadows continues the high stakes game that Celaena, now Aelin, is playing in order to gain her freedom, her […]
The Queen Of The Tearling By Erika Johansen
I am glad that I gave this book a little space before I read it. The trouble with hyped books is that it’s pretty hard to avoid influence while everyone is talking about it. I felt like I was able to read it and really appreciate it this way, and I did. I really […]
The Heart Of Betrayal By Mary Pearson
Rarely does a book capture my attention so thoroughly, but The Kiss of Deception was one of my absolute favorites of 2014 and I was very anxious to start book two. The Heart of Betrayal, while different in pace and story, was just as engrossing. As always, the world building was phenomenal. Since the book […]

The Winner’s Crime By Marie Rutkoksi
The Winner’s Curse was one of my very favorite books last year and so I was both excited and little nervous to start The Winner’s Crime. Almost immediately, I was thrown back into the dangerous political game that Kestrel was playing and any worries I had about whether this book would be as good as […]
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 […]
