City of Ghosts plays upon the idea that I have always sensed about old places…they are haunted! In Cassidy’s world, she is able to sense and see ghosts to the point that her BFF Jacob is actually a ghost. Her parents, one skeptic and one believer, play an appropriately background role while providing a little […]

Blog Tour: Haven
I have always loved Mary Lindsey’s YA, so I was very excited when I heard about Haven. The books starts when Rain, who lives life in the margins, loses his mom and is shipped off to live with his aunt in a small Texas town. (Honestly, anything set in a small Texas town […]
Blog Tour: Haunting The Deep
I enjoyed How to Hang a Witch and its blending of family drama and history. In Haunting the Deep, I think the same feel was achieved, but this time it was a different ancestor of Samantha’s that was involved. Instead of witch trials, everything at the high school seems to be trying to bring the […]
Blog Tour: The Graces
There is always that one intriguing student, or set of siblings, that seems to be the social center of every school. The Graces tells the story of an entire family’s place in a town and the way that people seem to both worship and fear them. The Grace family is wealthy and rumored to be […]
Blog Tour + Giveaway: How To Hang A Witch
Being descended form a Mayflower family, I have always had a particular interest in the the first settlements of the Pilgrims. My one and only visit to Salem revealed that they do, in fact, capitalize on the town’s dark history. (I was there on Halloween. It was very interesting.) The weight of history lingers, or […]
The Dark Days Club By Alison Goodman
The moment I heard Regency Era, you know this book had me, and The Dark Days Club did not disappoint! Lady Helen has always felt a little different but has worked so hard to compress herself into the small and stifling box that society, and her overhearing uncle, want her in, no […]
The Killing Jar By Jennifer Bosworth
The Killing Jar, with its interesting story and gorgeous cover, was a book that I was looking forward to reading. Kenna’s powers are a source of anxiety and shame in a family that is already dealing with so much. Her twin sister’s illness is a shadow hanging over all of them, but when a horrible […]
These Vicious Masks By Tarun Shanker and Kelly Zekas
These Vicious Masks had me at its historical setting with a hearty dose of the supernatural. I liked the sister dynamic, which was very strong, and was the impetus for the entire story. Evelyn is not a fan of being married off to someone she doesn’t know, but her parents are motivated […]
Blog Tour: Revenge And The Wild
Welcome to my stop on the blog tour for Revenge and the Wild hosted by Rock Star Book Tours. I love a good Western, but Revenge and the Wild was not what I was expecting at all! It was a sort of steampunk/paranormal/Western mash-up and it worked really well. Rogue City is your typical […]
The Accident Season By Moïra Fowley-Doyle
I heard a lot about The Accident Season around Halloween, so when we picked it for our November book club, I was excited to read a little out of my usual comfort zone. While I don;t read a lot of books in this genre, I ended up really enjoying it. It took […]
