Huge thanks to Spencer Hill for providing a review copy! I very nearly DNF’ed this book in the first 20-30 pages. I managed to stick through it somehow – my masochistic nature? or morbid curiosity? who knows – and honestly, I wouldn’t have been missing much. I was really looking forward to reading this because of the idea, but the delivery was so lackluster that it all just fell flat for me. My first problem happened very early when Eva […]

I knew going in that I would enjoy this: Anything Virals is sure to be fun and action-packed. This one was no disappointment! Tory is the same kick-ass leader that I loved in the first two books. She fights for what she believes in and doesn’t give up! I like the whole ragtag pack; nerdy and practical Shelton, enthusiastic Hi, stoic Ben (who kinda disappointed me at one point), and even the adorable furry Coop. They each had their own […]

When I heard about this book, I was really excited to read it. But after reading some rather ‘meh’ reviews of this book, I was kinda worried that I wouldn’t enjoy it very much. Turns out I had nothing to worry about! Transparent was such a cute read! First of all, the opening line in this is this: It’s a good thing summers in Vegas are so hot, considering how often I walk the streets naked. Talk about an attention […]

Thanks to HarperTeen for providing a copy for review! Honestly, I didn’t even plan on reading this book. Just from the synopsis I wasn’t sure I’d even like it. But I got an ARC in one of my Harper packages, so I figured, why the hell not? Sigh. Now I know why. I would never call anyone’s hard work crap, because I know writing a book is hard and time-consuming and probably devours a little piece of your soul; but […]
