The Forgotten World Review

I don't know how this series keeps getting better, but it does. This third book is just... so much happens I don't even know where to begin. We've now traveled from Central Island, through the Tempest Seas, and are now on the mystical, floating island Levelia. The characters have grown...

The Tempest Sea Review

This book... oof. It hurt. But if you know me at all, you know my favorite books are the kind where I can say, "This book destroyed my life. You should read it." And this one definitely fits. This world Robin has created just blows my mind. It's so original,...

The Fractured Empire Review

This book grabbed me from the very beginning, throwing me into this beautifully-crafted, intriguing new world. The plot is fast-paced and intense, making it hard to stop reading. And the characters... they're all so unique and well written. I instantly connected to them and needed more. I cannot recommend this...

The Library of Lost Things Review

I wasn't sure what to expect with The Library of Lost Things, but I know I didn't anticipate a book to hit home so much. It's a beautiful, emotional story with very real characters dealing with grief and mental health. The more I read, the more I felt connected to...

Fae's Prisoner Review

After reading Queens of the Fae, I had such mixed feelings about Griffin... but now I love him! This book caught my attention early, and I could not stop reading. For those who've read the other series, it builds off the world we already know and love, but you can...

Glass Kingdom Review

I have read many Cinderella retellings in my life. It's a story I have always loved and been drawn to. So when I say this is now my favorite version, you know I'm serious. Glass Kingdom takes place in the same world as the Golden...

Golden Crown Review

This series has blown me away. For those who don't know me, I am low key obsessed with Tangled. And by "low key" I mean completely. This third book picks up right after Golden Chains. The curse has been broken, La Dame has retreated to...

Golden Chains Review

All right, so I loved Golden Curse, but I LOVED this second book. The story picks up with Etta imprisoned for having magic. Tyson and Edmund have fled Gaule for the same reason. Alexandre feels betrayed by Etta for lying about who she is,...

A Constellation of Roses Review

I will admit, I went into this book knowing nothing. The cover and title caught my attention, and I'm so glad I took the chance! Right from the beginning the story drew me in with Trix's ability to manipulate shadows. Living on her own after...

Imagine Me Review

Have you ever been so blown away by a series that you don't even know how to put all your feelings into words? That's me with the Shatter Me series. I was late to the series, but I read the first three books and two...

Jesse and the Ice Princess Review

It’s no secret that I love Michelle’s books, and this is such a fantastic start to a new series! I instantly fell in love with all the characters, from Jesse and Charlotte to their obnoxious-but-wonderful friends. To their school, Jesse is just a popular typical...

Dating Nashville Review

If you read the first series, Redefining Me, you got a glimpse at these characters and probably love them just from those small appearances. I know I did, and I was beyond excited when I heard they were getting their own book. It did not...

Winter's Captive Review

YA fantasy has always been my favorite. However, the past few months, I'd been in a slump. I struggled getting through anything fantasy... Until this book. I loved Winter's Captive! The world Robin and Elle have created is so enrapturing....

Hunter's Truce Review

I love retellings--it's kind of my thing--and this was a new one for me. I haven't read a Three Little Pigs story since I was a child! This was fun and intriguing. The story is very interesting and well thought out. It's original, while still holding that element of familiarity....
