Book Review – Our Hearts Will Burn Us Down by Anne Valente
October 30, 2016 by · Leave a Comment
OUR HEARTS WILL BURN US DOWN is a poignant portrait of grief, told in the collective voice through the eyes of four best friends after a mass school shooting. While the story was not poorly written, the writing style was distracting at times, the novel was lacking in ...

October 26, 2016 by · Leave a Comment
I freaking love enemies-to-lovers stories, so I was delighted when I read the synopsis for Sally Thorne's debut, THE HATING GAME. Even though I read this book nearly in one sitting, it wasn't a complete hit for me. Thorne writes characters with great chemistry, but without a ...

Book Review – Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo
October 5, 2016 by · 2 Comments
Crooked Kingdom was the book I was most looking forward to reading this year. The depth and edge-of-your-seat suspense that Leigh Bardugo delivered in Six of Crows was nearly absent in Crooked Kingdom. Uneven pacing and lack of character growth was Crooked ...

October 4, 2016 by · 4 Comments
The Vanishing Year called to me after reading its intriguing synopsis about a woman running from her past into the arms of a prominent member of Manhattan's elite. While I will admit that Moretti's story had me glued to the pages to find out what happened, the multiple plot ...
