This was just as amazing as I knew it was going to be! I mean, it’s Julie. Obviously I’m going to love it. (Also I was totally geeking out because I got the eARC before anyone else…before Julie even got her author copies. Like, what?! I FEEL SO SPESHUL, GUYS.) What blows me away each and every time about Julie’s storytelling is that it feels so real. Her imagery is very vivid and it’s so easy to picture everything like I […]

I’ve had this book on my list forever, and last year I was able to meet Melissa and get a copy signed. It’s been sitting on my shelf for months, and I’ve been eyeballing it – because that cover! – but honestly I’ve been putting it off. I wasn’t sure it would be a “me” book, so I was hesitant. Turns out I had nothing to worry about! I can’t believe I waited so long to read this! I was […]

Sadly I didn’t quite love this one like everyone else did. I do see the appeal, but the lack of connection to the story killed it for me. *sobs* I wanted so badly to love it, but I just didn’t. It was still a beautiful story, though – Jodi Meadows rocks at creating unique and intriguing worlds! I loved the magical aspect of the story, and the concept of the Wraith was pretty cool. That was definitely the selling part […]

Wow you guys, Victoria Schwab has such a wonderful talent for creating worlds like no other world written. Just like her other books, I’ve never read anything like it! What really made this book amazing was how unique the story was, that was definitely the selling point for me. It was deliciously dark and magical! I must confess that I was a little bit bored in the beginning – it had a very historical feel to it, and anything remotely close […]

This book was one of my most anticipated 2015 releases. After seeing review after review, proclaiming how EPIC and AMAZING and MIND BLOWING this book was, I wanted it desperately! I originally missed it on Edelweiss somehow, until someone told me it was on there. I immediately went and downloaded it. I was sure I was going to love this one. Alas, I did not. I am the black sheep. (Again.) Maybe the problem is that the Hype Monster set my expectations sky […]

What a glorious end to an amazing series!! I really enjoyed it, but I’m very sad to see it go. I can’t believe I’ll never see Morph again :( I was so thrilled to jump back into the world that Howard creates! I didn’t realize how much I’d missed it. It’s sooo twisted…I love it! There were certain scenes where I was just like …..creeeeeepyyy…… and ok, I was a little disturbed. MORPHEUS. OMG. How I love him!! As always, I was […]
