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 ...

Jamie Brenner's The Wedding Sisters is a contemporary family drama centering around the rocky road to three sisters' weddings and their mother's desperation to make it all happen without a hitch. This book was really fun to read. While the plot itself is a little ...
Book Review – 738 Days by Stacey Kade
June 7, 2016 by · 1 Comment
Book Review: The premise of 738 Days was interesting and was what made me pick up the book. Though, the quick nature of the romantic relationship and the dramatics in the latter part of the book was problematic. I felt like the author did a wonderful job in the beginning at ...
Book Review – Anna Dressed in Blood by Kendare Blake
May 24, 2016 by · 2 Comments
Anna Dressed in Blood has a spooky charm that pulled me in. Cas's dark and witty voice combined with Anna's general badassery made this book such a blast to read from start to finish. Though, I wasn't really sold on the romance part of the story. Cas hunts and ...
Book Review – Wicked Heart by Leisa Rayven
May 11, 2016 by · 8 Comments
Leisa Rayven knows how to write romantic chemistry between her heroes and heroines, for sure. I was buying what she was selling on that front. However, the reason given as to why Liam broke it off—and why they weren't together in the present—with Liss seemed really flimsy ...

Book Review – The Violinist of Venice by Alyssa Palombo
February 16, 2016 by · 6 Comments
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 Weight of Feathers by Anna-Marie McLemore
October 8, 2015 by · 1 Comment
Book Review: What initially drew me into this book was its comparison to a modern-day Romeo and Juliet. And the story did turn out to be like that in some aspects with the two dueling families. However, this book missed the mark for me completely. I had a lot of difficulty ...

Book Review: "Maybe the shears would snap in Wylan's hands. Maybe Inej would fail. Or Nina. Or Kaz. Or me. Maybe I'll fail. Six people, but a thousand ways this insane plan could go wrong." Wow! I am on a book high! Six of Crows is one of my favorite books of the year. ...
Book Review – Ruin and Rising by Leigh Bardugo

Review: Shadow and Bone (Bk 1) Review: Siege and Storm (Bk 2) Book Review: "Maybe love was a superstition, a prayer we said to keep the truth of loneliness at bay. I tilted my head back. The stars looked like they were close together, when really they were millions of ...
