Review: The Diabolic by S.J. Kincaid

I’ll do it or I’ll destroy this empire trying. HOLY. WOW. YOU GUYS. I was totally blown away by this book! This is one of the most unique concepts I’ve read in a very long time! The Diabolic has a very vivid setting with thought out, complex world building. It felt very real and I was super impressed! (A map would have been nice though. Hopefully in the finished copy!) This book felt much like a mixture of Red Rising & Hunger Games. Everything […]

I posted these tips every year, but I wanted to repost them since it’s about that time again, and I also had some things to add!

Review: The Space Between by Brenna Yovanoff

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this book! I’ve been wanting to read it for FOREVER but was hesitant because I wasn’t sure it would be a “me” book, and also because I hated Fiendish. I’m so glad I gave Brenna a second chance! (See, sometimes giving authors a second chance DOES pay off!) I absolutely LOVED the premise of this book! And I loooove the world. Metal flowers and steel streets, how awesome is that? I would […]
