Books I got this week Pre-ordered: Starflight by Melissa Landers, signed & personalized This package came with a signed poster, Starflight themed nail wraps, and a bookmark!

They had Melissa personalize my book (I didn’t ask for it, so total surprise!), the poster […]

Review: The Shadow Queen by C.J. Redwine

Posted by Jessi (Geo) on February 5, 2016 | 2 Comments

She was iron and fire, a warrior’s spirit with a lion’s heart. While I didn’t enjoy this one quite as much as I’d hoped (I loved the Defiance trilogy), it was still an enjoyable read! I love retellings, and even though I never really got super into the Snow White fairy tale, I thought this was a great retelling of it. Wicked stepmother and all. (Except, where are the dwarves?!) The thing I loved the most about this book? DRAGONS. […]

It didn’t blow me away like I was hoping it would, but it was […]

Review: Riders by Veronica Rossi

Posted by Jessi (Geo) on January 28, 2016 | 4 Comments

At first I could take or leave this story. While intrigued, I had some issues connecting in the beginning for two reasons: One, our MC is male, and two, the way the story was told. I’m not a fan of reading in a male’s POV, because well, I’m clearly a female, and I can’t relate. I can’t get on board a romance with another female because I like males. So automatically, the romance is out. As for the way the […]
