Lauren Oliver's Replica has an interesting and alluring premise with two girls—one who was manufactured in a lab and one who is not—learning the truth about their life. The book has some moments that will left me flipping to the next page but in the end felt somewhat ...
Book Review – Who’s That Girl by Mhairi McFarlane
Who's That Girl is the first book I've read by Mhairi McFarlane. More than just a romantic comedy, McFarlane takes readers on a funny and emotional journey through Edie's life after a social disaster, exploring themes of family, friendship, and of course, love. As an added ...
Book Review – Three Dark Crowns by Kendare Blake
Wickedly dark with twists and turns, Three Dark Crowns is a good beginning to Kendare Blake's newest series. The book is rather long and I certainly felt its length in several parts, but I enjoyed the magical elements and the characters' journeys. The island of Fennbirn ...
Book Review – The Crown’s Game by Evelyn Skye
Book Review: The setting combined with the interesting premise of a duel to the death made me pick up Skye's debut. I enjoyed the author's vivid depictions of the Russian scenery but the romance felt contrived rather than organic. The Crown's Game is initiated by the ...
Book Review – Blood Passage by Heather Demetrios
Book Review: Heather Demetrios takes readers back into the beautiful world of the Dark Caravan Cycle with Blood Passage, which was inspired by 1001 Arabian Nights. While there were some moments that were a little slow, this book takes readers on quite an exciting ...
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 – 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 – 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 ...
Book Review – Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver
Book Review: I supposed that's the secret, if you're ever wishing for things to go back to the way they were. You just have to look up. Wow! This book was fantastic! Before I Fall is as emotional as it is uplifting, hopeful as it is bittersweet. Oliver's writing always ...
Book Review – Bounce by Noelle August
Noelle August's Boomerang trilogy has been a delight to read. I hope Lorin Oberweger and Veronica Rossi have something else up their sleeves because I will read it. Sadly, Bounce didn't have the same special pull as the two previous books in the series, and I didn't really ...
