Favorable Debut.

I have to be honest and say, this wasn't my favorite book. The idea of incorporating a sci-fi element into the mythology was interesting but if you're not a fan of zombies or necromancers (like me) than this probably isn't the book for you. As a whole, the story felt...

Modern Day Nancy Drew!

Mystery, suspense and kissing make up this second installment in The Liars Society series. Kate, the blue-haired heroine, is set on bringing down those responsible for her BFF Grace's death and she's willing to do just about anything, even kissing the enemy. I enjoyed the fast pace and interesting...

Original, Entertaining and Unique.

Thank you Entangled Teen for this ARC. This is such a unique concept that's equal parts creepy, cool and romantic. There's also kissing which I'm a HUGE fan of! Liv appears to suffer from multiple personalities and one might jump to conclusions that's she's either schizophrenic or riding the...

Not what I was expecting.

I have been looking forward to reading this book for months, so you can imagine my frustration when it turned out to be a lot different than I expected. I'm usually a sucker for a pretty cover but this one is a little off putting, especially the look on the...

All has been sorted...and I'm still Team Kyander.

I was so excited when I found out I was going to have a chance to read this early! Thank you Penguin and YABC! There's always a lot riding on the final book in a series, from unanswered questions to a love triangle that needs to...

It just keeps getting better!

Wow, just wow! Each book in this series is better than the one before! This is Dori and Reid's story and I have to say, I was NOT a Reid Alexander fan AT ALL. However, this third installment in the "Between the Lines" series demonstrates beautifully how no one...

Excellent Sequel!

This review really only needs two words: Graham Douglas. I fell in love with Graham Douglas in the first book of this series, which is quite different than this sequel, but nothing could've prepared me for the awesome that he IS in this book. While not...

Unique, Creative and Interesting Read.

There were two versions of this e-ARC that were sent out, the second included some changes (a Prologue was added, the end was changed as well as a few other things.) and being the nosey nelly that I am, I read them both. I'm so glad I did because...

Perfect addition to the Under The Never Sky Series!

Captivating and heart-achingly romantic, this novella takes place before Under The Never Sky and tells the story of Roar and Liv, best friend and sister to Perry. What starts out as friendship, grows into a love not only worth fighting for, but when threatened, a love worth risking it all...

Fantastic Sequel!

"We don't choose the time we're born in, he says. The only choice we got is what we do while we're here. To make it mean somethin'." I could not WAIT to read the next installment in the Dust Lands Trilogy and believe me when...

Compelling, Gut-wrenching, and Romantic Debut.

This is a beautifully written story with a powerful message about love, forgiveness and discovering your true worth. Missy has not had the easiest life, whether it be because of her mother's reckless lifestyle or the bullying she's endured at the hands of her classmates and my heart broke...

Mystery, Magic and Sweet Romance.

This is an interesting and entertaining debut by author Lea Nolan, who I had the pleasure of meeting at the Baltimore Book Festival. I'm not sure this was the book for me but there is definitely an audience for it. What I liked: The friendship...

Fabulous Finale!

OMP! (OhMyPatch) It's always sad to have to say goodbye to a series with characters we've thoroughly enjoyed but a good ending makes it all worth it. The war between the Nephilim and the fallen angels is about to begin and Nora and Patch are at the...
