Action, Suspense and Romance.

I used to fantasize about being in the Witness Protection Program when I was a kid (I was a weird child, what can I say?) but that sense of adventure, being able to "be" someone else and the idea that your life would never be boring all appealed to me....

By The Angel!

This book was like an emotional roller coaster from beginning to end and at times I wanted off if only so I could get a better grip on my feels before continuing. I've been Team Will from the start and while I enjoyed Jem, his relationship with Tessa never felt...

Good addition to the series.

What I liked: action, non-stop thrills and romance - Emblaze has everything fans of The Violet Eden Chapters love. The battle to stop Phoenix takes Violet, Linc and the rest of their crew to the beautiful island of Santorini and from there, all hell breaks lose - almost. Twists...

Excellent Sequel!

What I Loved: I was so excited to read this, especially having just read The Prince (novella) and The Selection days before but I'll be honest, this was one of the most stressful books I've read in a long time. The Elite picks up right where The Selection leaves off...

Cute

What I liked: This is a cute, sweet and romantic story with a few heart-breaking moments as well. The characters deal with realistic issues, making them relateable. There is some language (we are talking about High School) and a few steamy moments but nothing gratuitous or raunchy. ...

Perfect Addition to The Selection Novels

I was really excited when I saw that this was a prequel to THE SELECTION and couldn't wait to "meet" the infamous Prince Maxon. What I liked: I always enjoy watching a story unfold from another character's POV and this one was especially fun because it's Prince...

THANK YOU Elizabeth Norris for writing this piece of amazingness! I'll be the first to admit that Sci-Fi isn't my favorite thing to read because most of it feels over my head. (Code for: I end up feeling like the loser on "Are You Smarter Than A...

Excellent Addition To The UNRAVELING Series

Do you really need more reasons to read this other than knowing it's from Ben Michael's POV? Probably not, but the fact that this covers before, during and after the events in UNRAVELING just adds to the cool factor that makes up this page-turning series. I...

Thrilling Sequel

What I liked: I really enjoy the way Heather Anastasiu writes, even if the world she's crafted is a little more complex and Sci-Fi than my brain can handle. (Code for: This book may be smarter than me and I am totally okay with that.) Override's fast paced, non-stop...

Poignant. Heartbreaking. Beautiful.

What I loved: I expected this to be just another tragic love story between a "good girl" and a "bad boy" but instead, I found a story that focused on the bonds of family and the heartbreak that comes from watching a disease slowly steal someone you love, one precious...

Great sequel!

This is an exciting, mysterious, action packed sequel full of twists and turns. Fans of SOUND BENDER will have trouble putting this book down as they join Leo on an around-the-world mission that not only leads to yet another ancient artifact his Uncle Crane wants, but may also bring him...

Raw, Heart-wrenching, Beautiful

I was so excited and grateful to have the chance to read this! This, like most of the author's other books is unputdownable and only took me a matter of hours to read. By the time I was finished, two things happened: 1) I...

Lightheared, Funny and Sweet.

What I loved: The cover, the recipes and how Hayley strives to bring out the best in others regardless of how they're treating her. Her family is close nit despite the recent divorce of her parents and her friendships reflect the awkwardness that comes along with the middle school...

I don't want this to be the end.

Thank you YABC and Harper Teen for this ARC. Let me just say, that this review is incredibly difficult to write without been spoilerish but I will do my best. What I loved: Rise picks up where Once leaves off and...
