Winging It by Cate Cameron – Review

Winging It by Cate Cameron – Review

***NOTE: While this review is for the third book in a series, it’s a standalone series, so there are no spoilers for previous books, and you don’t have to read the first two books in order to enjoy this one. (I haven’t, but I plan to change that!)*** This book is pretty much exactly what it advertises – it was a light, cute read that gave me the warm and fuzzy feels. I don’t know what […]

Out of Play by Nyrae Dawn and Jolene Perry – Review, Interview & Authors’ Top Ten Addictions

Out of Play by Nyrae Dawn and Jolene Perry – Review, Interview & Authors’ Top Ten Addictions

Out of Play is the sort of book that deals with tough issues really well but doesn’t completely mangle your heart in the process. Not that I’m not a fan of the occasional heart-mangling (you know I love a good cry now and then), but I think it’s great to have books that tackle these types of issues in a somewhat lighter, more accessible manner as well. A book that gives you the feels, but doesn’t tear […]

Once Upon a Dream by Liz Braswell – Review

Once Upon a Dream by Liz Braswell – Review

The first book in this series of standalones honestly didn’t thrill me. In fact, I’m not even quite sure why I decided to read this one, but I wanted to give the author and the concept another chance, and I’m really glad I did because this one was much more enjoyable for me than the Aladdin book. This book turns Sleeping Beauty’s story on its ear. It starts up right before where the Disney movie ended – […]

Walk the Edge by Katie McGarry – Review & Giveaway

Walk the Edge by Katie McGarry – Review & Giveaway

When I saw that another book was coming out in McGarry’s Thunder Road Series, I was so excited. This series is incredibly unique because of the biker culture – it’s hard not to be fascinated, even by the parts of the lifestyle that make me raise my eyebrows a little. This installment focused on Razor (who we met in the last book) and Breanna, one of his fellow classmates. Razor is struggling to trust the […]

Siren’s Song by Mary Weber – Review

Siren’s Song by Mary Weber – Review

I absolutely adored the first two books in this series, so I was eager to dive into this final installment. Unfortunately, I have to confess that my experience reading this one was marred a bit by the simple fact that I couldn’t remember enough of what had happened in the first two books and I therefore struggled with connecting to the story – both the high stakes and the secondary characters. Still, by the end, […]

Bookishly Ever After by Isabel Bandeira (The Book About Me as a Teenager) – Review

Bookishly Ever After by Isabel Bandeira (The Book About Me as a Teenager) – Review

First off, I have to say that I’ve been dying to get my hands on this book ever since I met Isabel Bandeira at BEA in 2014 – she was sweet and fun and dressed in quirky bright dresses, and I could just tell that her book was going to be adorable, just like her. I was right. The book centers around Phoebe, who is a bookish introvert, much more comfortable living in her stories […]

Firsts by Laurie Elizabeth Flynn – Review

Firsts by Laurie Elizabeth Flynn – Review

This book is so incredibly hard to encapsulate in a review because it brings up so many topics of discussion. This is the type of book that just makes me want to go on and on and on about my feelings because they’re so complex. I’ll try not to do that, but I make no promises. Simply read the synopsis and you’ll probably be able to tell right away why I feel so conflicted about […]

Thicker Than Water by Brigid Kemmerer – Review

Thicker Than Water by Brigid Kemmerer – Review

This book could almost be a YA contemporary romance and mystery, but there are hints of paranormal that become much more than hints toward the end of the book. If you enjoy both contemporary and paranormal, this book is for you! I’m not going to spend time recapping the book because I don’t want to say much more than the synopsis says, so I’ll just jump straight into my review. What I enjoyed: The mystery. I […]

This is Where It Ends by Marieke Nijkamp – Review & Giveaway

This is Where It Ends by Marieke Nijkamp – Review & Giveaway

This is Where It Ends is an intense reading experience. And, unfortunately, the situation portrayed in the book is all too real in today’s society. (I read an article on NBC News the other day that said there have been more mass shootings in the US than days this year – how scary is that?) The book looks at a school shooting from the perspective of four students who have a connection to the shooter in […]
