Usually when I think of angels, I think of shoddy writing, the Jesus emails my grandma sends me, and that ‘closer than my peeps you are to meeeee’ song. So, in all, a wide range of things. Also, dumb ass names like Patch. Unearthly by Cynthia Hand is hands down (har-har) the BEST angel book […]
Review: Where I Belong by Gwendolyn Heasley
February 8, 2011
I wish more YA books were set in small towns in the south. Although I did not grow up in the south, I did grow up in a small town. The varsity football game was a big deal. Our parents didn’t go on business trips or anything, so you had to party in a field. […]

Girls get brainwashed into being something like sex slaves for high power government employees. The European mainland countries have banded into a confederation. However, some elements are the same as actual history. […]
