While fairly fluffy (as per usual with Kiersten White), Illusions of Fate was a cute and magical read! I liked Jessamin for the most part. She was stubborn, but determined, and stood up for what she believed in no matter what. I love that she’s not white! It’s so rare to find that in YA, it was refreshing to have an MC with a different background. I’m not quite sure how I felt about Finn, though. At times he reminded me a […]
See the full list of topics HERE. Last week’s topic: Couponing! (freebie topic) This week’s topic: Fears This is kind of a hard one for me, because there’s not much that actually scares me. I can watch ANY horror movie without batting an eyelash, and no movie I’ve ever seen has scared me. There have been a couple that kind of creeped me out (um, The Hills Have Eyes *cringes*), but none have made me feel fear. Maybe because I […]

While I didn’t enjoy it quite as much as I enjoyed Reboot, Rebel was a great conclusion to a very unique duology! There was plenty of action and edge-of-your-seat moments. Callum and Wren’s relationship was beautiful. It wasn’t without conflict, but they stuck together and stayed strong when times get tough. Instead of bickering, or being petty (like you see so often in YA), they supported each other. That’s what I want to see! Once again, I loved Wren. She’s a […]
