This book was so adorable! I loved The Nightmare Affair, so I was super excited for the sequel. And it didn’t disappoint! I love Dusty. If she were a real person, we’d be good friends! She’s snarky and funny! She’s also strong – she may have had moments of weakness, but she didn’t fall apart when things got tough. She took action. Eli kind of irked me a few times in this one. His mood swings almost gave me mental […]

This book reminded me a lot of a cross between The Hunger Games and The Golden Compass! I don’t particularly like to compare books, because that usually insinuates that one is a cheap ripoff of another, but that was not the case with Fire & Flood. Yes, it was similar; but Victoria Scott made it her own, and it was a unique and intriguing read! The egg is small and ugly, and if I’m not mistaken, it’s got a little stank […]
See the full list of topics HERE. Last week’s topic: Genres of Music So, I haven’t really traveled all that far. If we’re talking ANYWHERE, maybe I’d pick someplace like Australia or something. But I’ve never been there, so I don’t know! As far as places I have been, I’ve always wanted to live in Florida! I looove the atmosphere down there, and I think the state is absolutely beautiful. Oh, and there’s no winter, which means no snow! I know […]
Romance in YA If you haven’t already figured out by now, I am not a fan of romance. It is extremely rare for me to be fully invested in one, and 90% of the time, I hate them. Why? Because they are (mostly) all the same to me, and seems like they’re getting bogged down with clichés more and more. *coughs* When a boy character and a girl character are introduced to a story, you automatically know they are going […]
I had some trouble connecting to this one. I still really enjoyed it, but for the most part I didn’t love it like I did the first two books. I didn’t feel much throughout the novel except a bit of shock…until the end came. I saw the sacrifice coming, but it still affected me. I was surprised by the sadness I felt! Ash was still the same fierce, fiesty MC that I loved from the previous two books. She stayed strong no […]
