June 30, 2017 by · Leave a Comment
OMGoodness! The ending of this book is so exciting! The knife Richelle Mead plunged into my heart in Shadow Kiss is pushed in even deeper and then twisted in this book. BLOOD PROMISE is equal parts thrilling and emotionally painful as we see Rose travel across the world for ...

Book Review – Frostbite by Richelle Mead
January 17, 2017 by · 2 Comments
Richelle Mead ramps up the action, angst, and intense emotions in FROSTBITE. By the end, I didn't know whether to be happy or sad. I guess I should stop wasting time and read the next book. In FROSTBITE, the threat of the Strigoi increases, forcing Moroi and dhampirs to ...
Book Review – Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead
November 28, 2016 by · 6 Comments
I first read VAMPIRE ACADEMY more than four years ago. Remembering slow-burning forbidden romance between Rose and Dimitri and pulse-pounding action present throughout the whole series made me want to relive it all over again. Would I love it as much the second time around? ...
Book Review – Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo
October 5, 2016 by · 2 Comments
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 ...
Book Review – Heart-Shaped Hack by Tracey Garvis Graves
September 19, 2016 by · 4 Comments
Tracey Garvis Graves's debut novel On the Island was the only book of hers I'd read prior to picking up Heart-Shaped Hack. Kate and Ian's story was just the book that hit the spot after reading some darker emotional reads. It's romantic with bits of humor but also has some ...
Book Review – Forgive Me, Leonard Peacock by Matthew Quick
August 29, 2016 by · 10 Comments
Forgive Me, Leonard Peacock is an exceptional book. I'm at a loss for words. Matthew Quick's grasp on a lonely, depressed teenager "at the end of his rope" is realistic and incredibly sad. Getting to the core of Leonard Peacock broke my heart and I felt for him so ...
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 – Me Before You by Jojo Moyes
April 27, 2016 by · 5 Comments
Book Review: I've been wanting to read this book for a long time. I absolutely fell in love with Will and Lou's moments together. Characters with that kind of chemistry are rare. These two came to life on the page. But Lou's characterization and growth from beginning to end ...
