Why Did I Listen To This Book? A few years ago I read and loved Gated by Amy Christine Parker. It is this awesome book about this girl named Lyla who lives in a Community that is run by this man named Pioneer who insists that the outside world is evil and so the Community keeps […]
Oblivion by Kelly Creagh | Book Review
August 10, 2015
I cracked open Oblivion third in Kelly Creagh’s Nevermore trilogy with high hopes, despite not really geling with Enshadowed. I had hoped that maybe Enshadowed was just sophomore slump. Also?

Bray’s sequel to The Diviners is a hold on to your hat sort of read, the action does not stop for a single second. This is a very long book at […]
