RITES OF PASSAGE is a compelling and addictive read with a painfully honest view of what it's like inside a high school military academy. The author herself went to military school, so it's safe to say what we're getting is a front row sea of the sorts of things that can ...

I first started reading the Bloodlines series back in 2012 (I think) when I discovered the amazingness of Richelle Mead's Vampire Academy series. I read The Indigo Spell shortly after its release but never got around to finishing the next book, The Fiery Heart. So when I ...

Book Review – Last Sacrifice by Richelle Mead
September 25, 2017 by · 2 Comments
Reading this series almost 5 years later, I still love the books just as much now. Over the course of six books, I came to love these characters, despite the mistakes they make along the way. LAST SACRIFICE was a great way to end this series and say goodbye to the world ...
Audiobook Review – Dating You / Hating You by Christina Lauren
September 19, 2017 by · 2 Comments

"Sometimes, just when you think everything’s gone, you find a way.” Mia racked her mind for an explanation. “Like after a prairie fire. I saw one, years ago, when we were in Nebraska. It seems like the end of the world. The earth is all scorched and black and everything ...
