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 – 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 – Hallowed by Cynthia Hand
November 6, 2017 by · Leave a Comment
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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
Book Review – Rites of Passage by Joy N. Hensley
September 29, 2017 by · 2 Comments
RITES OF PASSAGE is a compelling and addictive read with a painfully honest view of what it's like inside a high school military academy. The author herself went to military school, so it's safe to say what we're getting is a front row sea of the sorts of things that can ...

September 28, 2017 by · Leave a Comment
The follow-up to Jessica Cluess's magical young adult fantasy, A Shadow Bright and Burning (read my review), is equally as compelling and dramatic. A POISON DARK AND DROWNING continues Henrietta Howel's journey in the magical society of the Order, but she harbors a secret to ...

Stephanie Perkins moves away from contemporary young adult romance in the horror-like story of a small town terrorized by a serial killer. THERE'S SOMEONE INSIDE YOUR HOUSE has several suspenseful moments, but when it comes to finding out why this person was slaughtering ...
Book Review – Last Sacrifice by Richelle Mead
September 25, 2017 by · 2 Comments
Reading this series almost 5 years later, I still love the books just as much now. Over the course of six books, I came to love these characters, despite the mistakes they make along the way. LAST SACRIFICE was a great way to end this series and say goodbye to the world ...
