Kim Holden's BRIGHT SIDE has been on my radar since it came out. I love a good bookish ugly cry, so I picked it up in hopes of feeling the same emotional kick in the gut as everyone else. However, this one did very little for me emotionally. The writing was blatant and ...
Audiobook Review – Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins
November 29, 2017 by · Leave a Comment
I didn't think the Capitol could get any crueler and then I read CATCHING FIRE. The second installment of this international phenomenon is the kind of thrilling that kept me on the edge of my seat! President Snow isn't happy with how the 74th annual Hunger Games ended, ...
Book Review – Skygods by Sarah Latchaw

Second chance romance junkies will enjoy SKYGODS, the continuation to Kaye and Samuel's story from Hydraulic Level Five. Even though the story veered off in a different and less compelling direction, I still felt invested in the characters and enjoyed the story ...
Book Review – Arabella Park: Season 1 by Meiling
November 22, 2017 by · Leave a Comment
"These teenagers really got themselves into some deep trouble." That's what I kept saying while reading this book. Evan Tyler's (writing as Meiling) young adult is a mystery that will keep you guessing until the very end. Mimi Nvarro disappears without a trace, and her best ...
Audiobook Review – The Ruby Circle by Richelle Mead
November 13, 2017 by · Leave a Comment
Unlike many of other series enders from this author, the final book in Richelle Mead's Bloodlines series was anticlimactic and dull. Adrian and Sydney have become increasing more boring over the last few books. I enjoyed the first half of the series a lot because of the ...
Audiobook Review – Hallowed by Cynthia Hand

While Unearthly didn't resonate as deeply with me as other readers, HALLOWED was completely captivating. I couldn't wait to listen to it every morning on my way to and from work because I was so wrapped up in the story! Unearthly sets the stage for everything that happens ...
Book Review – The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
October 30, 2017 by · Leave a Comment
Four score and seven years ago this book was unleashed unto the world and nearly all of my fellow readers have read it. THE HUNGER GAMES is young adult at its finest with incredible character development and action that left me emotionally drained while rooting for ...
Audiobook Review – Unearthly by Cynthia Hand
October 18, 2017 by · Leave a Comment
Cynthia Hand's world of angel-bloods and cute teen boys has the perfect mix of realistic teenage struggles and family relationships but with a paranormal twist. I haven't read a young adult paranormal series centering around angels since 2012. UNEARTHLY was a really great ...
Book Review – This Darkness Mine by Mindy McGinnis
October 17, 2017 by · Leave a Comment
You know when you read a book and just kind of sit there and wonder, "What did I just read?" Well, I had that moment reading this book and unfortunately, those words were not uttered in a moment of awe. THIS DARKNESS MINE is certainly a dark tale but also a very bleak one ...
Audiobook Review – Silver Shadows by Richelle Mead
October 16, 2017 by · Leave a Comment
After a rather disappointing fourth book, I'd hoped that SILVER SHADOWS would set the Bloodline series back on the path to greatness. I felt slightly more engaged reading this book when compared to its predecessor but still felt like the series has lost its drive. The end ...
