I wasn’t sure exactly what to expect with this series. Honestly, I saw that the library had the audiobook series, and I thought, “Hey, why not?” Turns out, I ended up enjoying this series much more than I expected to! What Fed My Addiction: A very snarky MC. I’ve always been a fan of snarky teenage MCs. As a mom, I should probably be irritated with Sophie’s constant sarcastic remarks, but nope – I enjoyed it […]
I wanted to write quick reviews of these books since they’ve been out for quite some time, but they deserve some more attention!

This book is really tough to review because I loved it, right up until the very end, when I thought, “Wait? That’s it?” Still, I’ve given myself a little time to ponder it, and I think I’m okay with the abrupt ending – mostly. The book follows Jory, whose family is preparing for – something. He’s never really quite sure what – he just knows that his stepfather is sure that something bad is coming, and that […]
I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect from When, but I loved the concept, so I thought I’d give it a try. This book was an emotionally impactful, exciting YA mystery with a paranormal twist (and just a hint of romance), and the blend ended up being just about perfect! Maddie can see when a person is going to die – she sees their deathdate floating on their forehead. Maddie’s mother has her using her […]
This Shattered World is an amazing follow-up to These Broken Stars!! In fact, I think I may have liked this second installment in the series better than the first. I absolutely could not put this book down! One thing that I’m loving about this series is that each book really is a standalone novel. We get the full story arc all in one book with no cliffhangers, yet we’re still left wanting more. This Shattered […]

Poison is a delightfully cute and light fantasy novel. The book is published by Disney Hyperion, which makes complete sense because it fits right into their wheelhouse – I could easily see this as a Disney movie! The book was the perfect diversion from some of the darker fantasy and dystopian novels that I read and I loved it! The story centers around Kyra, a young potions master who is on the run after attempting […]
