I was first drawn to Underwater because of the cover and the jacket copy, which seemed to promise an interesting story. It definitely delivered. Morgan is obviously suffering, and while you don’t know right away what happened, you see how small Morgan’s world has become. While I usually prefer to know the facts up front, […]

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 […]
Tonight The Streets Are Ours By Leila Sales
My immediate reaction to this book was this isn’t a romance, but it is definitely a love story. That is going to be challenging for some readers, I think, so know that really it isn’t a romance in the traditional sense. This book isn’t about Arden’s quest to find the love of her life, who […]
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 […]
Joyride By Anna Banks
I am always interested in stories that explore differences in socioeconomic status and privilege, and Joyride certainly did just that. While Carly is in the country legally, her parents were deported and her quest to bring them back to the US illegally essentially puts her in the position of someone who is undocumented. Carly […]
Devoted By Jennifer Mathieu
It’s always tricky writing about religion, or any kind of faith journey, but Devoted did a beautiful job of presenting an emotional and engaging story. Rachel is a member of a family that aligns itself with Quiverfull beliefs (think Duggars) and while it is not a perfect life, in her mind, […]

Finding Mr. Brightside By Jay Clark
I enjoy love stories whose path is perhaps a bit unusual, and Finding Mr. Brightside fit the bill. While Juliette and Abram knew of each other, they didn’t really know each other, even after they were connected by tragedy. In one fell swoop, Abram and Juliette both lost parents and their […]
