Afterworlds By Scott Westerfeld
Afterworlds was an entertaining look at one young author’s pre-debut year and the book she wrote. The little insights into the world of a debut author will be funny for those who have any contact with authors or publishing. You might even spot some of your favorite YA authors, disguised behind names, of course. This […]
Ashes To Ashes By Jenny Han and Siobhan Vivian
After the ending of Fire With Fire, I was more than a little anxious to begin the final installment in this fantastic series. Ashes To Ashes was full of drama and, yes, more than a little danger. Mary’s realization about herself turned her into someone to be reckoned with. While Kat and Lillia try […]
After I Do By Taylor Jenkins Reid
After I Do might seem like your typical marriage-in-crisis story, but what I found was a very honest and sometimes painful look at a couple who hits a pretty big roadblock and must make a detour in order to decide whether their marriage is worth saving. I think the key to this type of […]
In Deep By Terra Elan McVoy
As the book progresses, you see her need to complete for everything start to erode friendships and romantic relationships. More interesting was that the people in her life, up to a certain point, were easily dissuaded. As long as she was swimming and seemed somewhat normal, her mom , step dad, and friends, […]
City Of Heavenly Fire By Cassandra Clare
I know I wasn’t the only one who was a little scared to start this much-hyped book. City of Heavenly Fire is the culmination of a lot of pain and suffering, let’s be honest. Cassie Clare wasted no time in getting the ball rolling as everyone tried to figure out what was up with […]
Learning Not To Drown By Anna Shinoda
Learning Not To Drown might look like a typical YA issue book at first glance, but what I found was a story that drew me into its sad and dysfunctional world. Clare’s life is made up of parents that vacillate between being totally checked out when it comes to her emotional needs and overbearing when […]
Fire With Fire by Jenny Han and Siobhan Vivian
“Later, when I think about the look in Reeve’s eyes, and I remember what he said about how there should be consequences for the bad things people do, I feel dread, because I know he’s right. There will be consequences, for all of us.” – eGalley pg. 335 I was so happy to be […]
Clockwork Princess by Cassandra Clare
“They plunged down the cobblestone street together, Will crouched down low on Balios, the wind tearing through his hair and drying the wetness on his face – whether it was blood or tears, he didn’t know.” – Ch. 18 I was so afraid to start reading this book. Truth be told, The Infernal Devices […]
Burn For Burn by Jenny Han and Siobhan Vivian
I was very excited to hear that two gifted storytellers were teaming up to write a book, but when I heard it was all about revenge, I thought – even better! Revenge is such a layered and complicated issue. It’s so tempting to hurt those that have wronged you, yet it almost always backfires […]
