Man, did this book have wonderful potential. I wanted so badly to love this – it had fabulous mythology, originality, and I was in love with the fact that our main character is a Harpy. In the beginning I was rather enjoying it. The setting was awesome – Tartarus! – and there was a big monster thing called a Draken; and I thought it was awesome that the MC, Zephyr, was not only a Harpy with blue hair and wings, that […]

My god I missed this world so much!! I loved jumping back into it, even for such a brief time. I had forgotten how beautiful and compelling Jay’s writing was! This is a very short story, so there’s not much to it. But Jay still found a way to pull on my heartstrings. Even though I pretty much knew how it was going to end, I still enjoyed it and it still sucked to see it end! The subject of […]

OH MY GOD JAY WHY DO YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO BREAK MY HEART?! I should have known this would end in tears. IT ALWAYS DOES. *sigh* I’m not usually a fan of novellas because most of the time they only tell a more detailed story of what you already know. But I loooved this one! I freaking love the arashitoras, and reading in the POV of one of them again was like having a little piece of Buruu back. (I […]

This is a hard review to write, because this book inspired absolutely nothing for me. No emotion, no interest, nothing. Overall, this book was just ‘meh.’ Maybe even less than that. It’s not that I hated it, but I didn’t really like it either. This book was just….there. It won’t leave a lasting impression and I probably won’t remember anything about it a month down the road. Honestly, it was a struggle to finish it. The characters were flat and I couldn’t […]

“The Winner’s Curse is when you come out on top of the bid, but only by paying a steep price.” It’s no secret that I had been DYING for this book for months. It was THE most anticipated 2014 release for me! I was kinda worried that the Hype Monster would strike again, that I would be disappointed because my hopes were sky high. But I was pleasantly surprised! It didn’t blow me away, but I still loved it! This […]

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 […]
