Book Review – Every Little Thing by Samantha Young
Despite my issues with The One Real Thing, I wanted to read EVERY LITTLE THING because I really liked Bailey and Vaughn. Young created a decent backstory for this couple in first book and I couldn't wait to see where their relationship went, as it was seemingly full of ...
Audiobook Review – Idaho by Emily Ruskovich
Emily Ruskovich's IDAHO is haunting, atmospheric, and heartbreaking, yet manages to leave you wanting more of its beauty. Rarely does a book leave me with this persistent feeling of loss upon finishing, but Idaho did. Through beautiful prose, strong character development, ...
Audiobook Review – Always by Sarah Jio
Sarah Jio's ALWAYS is a second-chance romance and women's fiction hybrid that some may enjoy. Due to an abundance of plot holes, less-than-stellar writing, and melodrama galore, I far too many problems and I didn't like this book. Being as this is a women's fiction novel, ...

Audiobook Review – A Shadow Bright and Burning by Jessica Cluess
Set in London during the Victorian era, A SHADOW BRIGHT AND BURNING is a decent beginning to Jessica Cluess's Kingdom on Fire series. While the characters and plot are both rather generic, the darker setting and bits of action pulled me in. Henrietta is thought to be the ...
Book Review – Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo
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 ...
