Before the gushing starts, let’s first have a serious moment. Words cannot express how much this book means to me. It is very special, because it was my first for a lot of things. It was my first long series, as well as my first favorite series, my first favorite author, my first Adult book, the first book I read with sexual content (even though there’s not much), and more importantly, the first book I remember reading for pleasure alone and not […]

Review: Illusions of Fate by Kiersten White

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 […]

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 […]

Each time he saw his reflection as of late, he no longer recognized the moth in the mirror. He was incomplete, broken; and he despised it. First of all, I love Morpheus. It’s no secret that he’s one of my favorite book boyfriends (only second to Warner of course). So of course I was going to love this one. I’m surprised by how much I did love it, though, because I’m not usually a fan of novellas. I loved being […]

Infinityglass was a cute conclusion to the Hourlass series! While I feel like the magic of the series fizzled out somewhat as it progressed (it’s just not the same without Emerson and Michael!), I’m happy with the way it ended and would still recommend this series to any fan of sci-fi or time travel. I must confess I didn’t like Hallie much at all in the beginning. She was one of those girls. You know, the kind that wear skanky things […]

Mini Review: Beauty in the Beast by Christine Danse

The only complaint I have about this book: It wasn’t long enough. The stories within a story were awesome and really set the scene (even though I didn’t really know it). The tale of the dragon was very witty and I really liked the Ice Flower story, but my favorite was the new take on a werewolf stemming from Alchemy. Very interesting and unique! The touch of steampunk was pretty cool too! The relationship between Rolph and Tara moved a bit […]
