The Glittering Court by Richelle Mead is MUCH better than Soundless, her previous new release. I won’t lie, I thought Soundless was okay, but it was not quite up to par with her Vampire themed books. I was a little bit worried that maybe she had lost some of her writing magic. My worries have […]
The Mirror King by Jodi Meadows | Book Review
March 16, 2016
The Mirror King by Jodi Meadows is EVERYTHING I want in a sequel and probably the most compelling argument for why duologies are the greatest that I can find. For real, this sequel to The Orphan Queen is a gripping book that follows the character development and challenge facing Wilhelmina, main character and heir to […]

What We Saw by Aaron Hartzler | Book Review
March 3, 2016
What We Saw by Aaron Hartzler is one hell of a young adult fiction debut. I mean, yes, I knew to expect excellence after reading and really loving Rapture Practice, Hartzler’s memoir, but What We Saw just blew me away. I had plans to eventually read this book but nothing too terribly solid. It was more of […]
