Book Review – The Violinist of Venice by Alyssa Palombo

Book Review – The Violinist of Venice by Alyssa Palombo

Book Review: The allure of forbidden romance almost always makes me pick up a book, so when I saw that this book had that and had a musical thread I knew I had to read it. Alyssa Palombo's debut is a sweeping love story between two people that cannot be together, yet whose ...

Book Review – The Love That Split the World by Emily Henry

Book Review – The Love That Split the World by Emily Henry

Book Review: Books promising a love story with impossible odds always seem to draw me in, which is why I added this book to my to-read list so quickly. There were moments that I really enjoyed in Henry's debut but for most of the novel I was bored. Up until Natalie was ...

Book Review – He Will Be My Ruin by K.A. Tucker

Book Review – He Will Be My Ruin by K.A. Tucker

Book Review: He Will Be My Ruin is a twisty-turny mystery, taking readers on crazy "who done it" ride. K.A. Tucker's first foray into the thriller category pulled me in, as her writing typically does, but somewhere along the way, the book lost its momentum. Maggie's best ...

Book Review – Into the Still Blue by Veronica Rossi

Book Review: If there is one thing to say about Veronica Rossi's Under the Never Sky series it's that she was created a wonderful cast of characters that are completely relatable and fun to hang out with while reading. I loved these characters from the beginning of the ...

Book Review – Surviving Ice by K.A. Tucker

Book Review – Surviving Ice by K.A. Tucker

Book Review: K.A. Tucker brings on the action in Surviving Ice, the final installment of her Burying Water series. Much like the first book in the series, I was hooked from the first page of this one and read most of this book in just a matter of hours. This book had ...

Book Review – Through the Ever Night by Veronica Rossi

Book Review – Through the Ever Night by Veronica Rossi

Book Review: The second book in Veronica Rossi's young adult dystopian series was a solid second book but it didn't hold my interest throughout like the first one did. I had to jump right into this book after finishing Under the Never Sky! You try reading it and not ...

Book Review – Chasing River by K.A. Tucker

Book Review – Chasing River by K.A. Tucker

Book Review: K.A. Tucker  is an author whose books I will always pick up. They're fun to read and I usually enjoy them, but Chasing River didn't quite have the same suspenseful pull that the other books in the series had. We met Amber Wells in Burying Water. While you ...

Book Review – Under the Never Sky by Veronica Rossi

Book Review: I've been wanting to read Under the Never Sky for so long, and I'm glad that I finally picked it up. Veronica Rossi's debut blends together a dystopian world with peril at every corner, memorable characters, and a sweet romance between two teens from totally ...
