Promise Of Shadows by Justina Ireland is SUCH a cool book. I mean, seriously there’s blood, there’s identity/soul searching, there’s romance. There is even a twist on the Greek mythology that makes this feel like Percy Jackson for the older set. I put this book on hold at the library after spending a little bit […]
The Dead Boyfriend | Girl In Reverse | Sublime
December 30, 2016
Sometimes it’s really not the best idea to read something out of nostalgia. It just doesn’t ever seem to live up to your childhood based expectations.

Straight up, this series is kind of awesome if you like contemporary books where music and bands and secrets play a strong role. I listened to the first two books via audiobook. They are superbly narrated by Emma Galvin. However, the last […]
