The Best Night of Your Pathetic Life by Tara Altebrando was such a cute read! It was my first Tara Altebrando read and it surely will not be my last. I don't have a ton to say about this one beyond the fact that I really just thoroughly enjoyed it....

Something Strange and Deadly was a fabulous debut from Susan Dennard. This was one of those books that you can't help but to read it all in one sitting. From the first page, Susan Dennard captivated me with her gorgeous prose and bewitching story. I loved the plot. It...

Touching the Surface by Kimberly Sabatini was one of the most touching, beautiful books I have ever had the chance to read. It was marvelous in just about every way, and was a perfect debut from Kimberly Sabatini. I loved Kimberly Sabatini‘s take on the afterlife. It was refreshing...

Crimson Rising by Nick James was a very different book from its predecessor, The Pearl Wars. I liked and enjoyed it, but Crimson Rising followed a completely path than I was imagining. Science fiction is such an underdog genre I feel like – there’s not a ton of it in...

Let the Sky Fall by Shannon Messenger has been a book I have been eagerly anticipating since I first heard about it. I mean, hello, sylphs? How much cooler can you get!? And with it, Shannon Messenger has really spun an intriguing tale all wrapped up in a forbidden romance...

False Memory, how do I even begin to explain this one? It was fast paced, action packed, and was host to an awesome cast of characters. To get to the point, False Memory was one of the best books I have ever read. Science fiction is a very downplayed...

I kind of have this thing for boarding school books - I just love them. And The Little Woods by McCormick Templeman delivered just what I was looking for - 1 part boarding school with a whole lot of mystery. It was a chilling and intriguing debut that had my...

A Beautiful Evil by Kelly Keaton was a delightful book that really stood up to its predecessor, Darkness Becomes Her. With it's enticing plot and cool play on mythology, A Beautiful Evil is sure to be a favorite! I enjoyed the book book in this series, Darkness Becomes...

Peter Pan is a tale that I have always loved. With its magic and light-heartedness it has always captivated me. I have been waiting for another retelling of Peter Pan to cross my path and I was so excited when this one did. While it didn't live up to all...

Burn Mark by Laura Powell was a really interesting take on witchcraft that really delved into a completely new territory. It was an enticing story, but for me, got a bit drawn out which took away from the book overall. So I loved the premise of Burn Mark. I...

Oh my gosh, what a delightful gem of a book Shadow and Bone was! This book made me have all the feelings. It was intense, dark, and all around just wonderful. I am very excited to see what story Leigh Bardugo will share with us next, as Shadow and Bone...

Lies Beneath by Anne Greenwood Brown is a delightful debut that focuses on the darker side of mermaid mythology. It was a treat to read and I cannot wait to see where the story goes in the sequel, Deep Betrayal. I just loved how dark Lies Beneath was....
