This book will get under your skin. When I wasn’t reading it, I wanted to be. I gobbled this book up in two days, and it only took me that long because I had to work both days! I was completely engrossed because the concept for this book is amazing. It’s deliciously dark, but more than that, it’s 100% unique. I’ve never read anything quite like it! I looooved the setting. It has this dark and gritty feel (picture Silent Hill after […]

Champion was a fast paced thrill ride and was the perfect ending to a stunning series! There was plenty of action, and the war aspect was well portrayed. It was very dark and gritty at times (the perfect picture of war). So many heart pounding scenes, especially with Jameson! June and Day’s relationship was heartbreaking! It was sad that they had been separated for so long, and I hated that they had drifted so far apart and become so distant. […]

I’ve read a few angel books before, but for the most part I’m not really a big fan of them (I did enjoy Hush, Hush, but the series went downhill fast). So, I was VERY surprised by how much I enjoyed this one! First of all, the concept was awesome and unique, making this book completely different from any other angel book out there. Instead of being the typical selfless angels, the guardian angels are paid for their services. Crazy, right? […]

Always in the shadows, draped in ivy and sorrow, the house waits for a child too daring for his own good. Yes, this book was kind of fluffy, but there was a decent undercurrent of darkness that I loved. Maybe it didn’t quite achieve the ominous feeling that the name implies, but it had its fair share of seriousness. I absolutely LOVED the magic of this story! I loved that there was always a high price for magic and I feel as […]

“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 […]

Review: Fire & Flood by Victoria Scott

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 […]
