The Past Isn't Always The Way We Remember It

What I Liked: Of all of the characters in this series, Nash Donovan is the Marked Man I like the best. He's up front and honest without being a jerk and for the most part, he allows himself and those around him, the freedom to make and hopefully learn from,...

You'll Never Look At Leprechauns The Same Way Again!

I'll admit, I'm not a huge fan of Fae stories, but I am a fan of all things Irish and an even bigger fan of Wendy Higgins, and I enjoyed this! SEE ME is a fast paced, heartwarming story that is sweetly romantic and...

Riveting, Heartbreaking, Perfect.

The Forever Song is the riveting conclusion to the Blood of Eden series that is sure to have you on the edge of your seat with your heart in your throat! Just like The Immortal Rules and The Eternity Cure, the latter of which I thought might...

Informative, Interesting, and Fun.

I'll admit, I got excited when I was offered to review this book for two reasons, 1) DIVERGENT is still one of my all-time favorite books despite the fact that I hated the ending of the series, and 2) I was expecting a book filled with lots of glossy pictures...

Not The Story I Was Expecting.

I had the audio version of this book. I like the cover for this book, it's depiction of the two girls that are the same height but different hair color is spot on. The fact that this is a story that centers around the best friend...

A Thrilling Sequel

I like the covers for this series a lot and it's not just because of the guy's lip ring. Not really. DECEIVING LIES, the sequel to FORGIVING LIES, isn't your average run of the mill "break up" book and I actually enjoyed it more than the...

Not What I Was Expecting, But Still Worth the Read.

This is one of those stories that is really hard to review because I don't want to spoil anything! I went into this with certain expectations. The title lends itself to so many different interpretations but this wasn't anything I imagined it would be either in plot...

Engaging and Thought-provoking!

What I Loved: I was really curious about the "one night" premise. I was also a little nervous that Tiffany Schmidt might not be able to pull it off - telling a story that only covers a few hours but that is engaging, thought-provoking and heart-warming, but she did it!...

FANTASTIC ending to this part of the series!

Part Three picks up right where Part Two leaves off and it's easy to understand why Tessa feels the way she does. Hurt. Betrayed. Alone. When Tristan tries to explain his side of things, Tessa doesn't react the way he wishes she would. She...

NCIS for New Adult

This was my first Molly McAdams book and it was entertaining; I liked Kash and the plot varied a little from other NAs on the market, but it still didn't blow me away like I wanted it too. There were parts that seemed far fetched and the over abundance of...

Witty, Lighthearted, Feel-Good Romance!

This was my first Elizabeth Eulberg book and I'm looking forward to getting my hands on more of her words! What I Liked: I love how significant this cover is! (I'm a cover dork, I can't help it.) This is a super cute story that takes...

Thought provoking, Compelling and Terrifyingly Realistic. I Loved Every Minute!

HOLY HTS that was good! Thank you Harper Teen and Edelweiss for this eARC. I've attempted to write this review several times and each time I was ready to hit, "publish", my Internet crashed. I think it's because the government is secretly...

Brilliant Start to a New High Fantasy Series!

Don't let the gorgeous cover or the summary fool you, The Winner's Curse is no light, swoony romance. It's a beautifully written, brilliantly crafted high fantasy story of love, betrayal, politics, and the fight for Independence. The romance between Kestrel and Arin is a slow burn, one that is both...

Love, Loss, Hard Choices and Hope.

WHY HAVE I NOT HEARD OF THIS BOOK BEFORE NOW?! If it weren't for Jennifer L. Armentrout and Miranda Kenneally, I probably would have never read it but I'm so glad I did! (Word of advice, if author friends boss you to read a book, you listen.) ...
