I am going to be straight up and honest with you — when I first cracked open The Strange And Beautiful Sorrows Of Ava Lavender by debut author Leslye Walton, I was really skeptical. I thought, a girl with wings and her struggles this is going to be dumb. Turns out the only dumb one was […]
A Death-Struck Year by Makiia Lucier | Book Review
March 23, 2014
I hate to admit this, but A Death-Struck Year by Makiia Lucier has made me regret those days where I wished for the flu so I could be out of work for a couple of days without touching my vacation time — I always have this cushion of sick time. Lucier’s debut has made me realize […]

Also, why would you read the review of the sequel before reading the first book? That’s weird. Back when I picked up Mind Games by Kiersten White, I remembered being totally apprehensive because of the […]
