Love, Romance & Suspense.

What I Loved: Love, romance, suspense and swoon, FRIGID has a little bit of everything. Kyler and Sidney have known each other forever so there's no insta-anything. Their relationship, which plays out in this fast paced alternating POV, is like a slow burn that ignites and builds...

Intriguing and Relevant

What I Liked: I really like this cover! This is well written with a premise that is not only intriguing but relevant in the voyeuristic society we live in. There is a natural curiosity that surrounds people who are thrust into the limelight, whether by choice or by accident, and...

Mind.Blowing.Sequel.

Three things I know about Dan Krokos: 1) He doesn't scare easily. I met him and literally, the first words out of my mouth were, "I have frosting on my hands." Awkward much? Not really, considering I followed that winning opener with, "Don't worry, I didn't lick...

Lighthearted Romance

Sand, surf, boys, roller skating and all the 80's music I can handle? Yes please. (I have not heard Scritti Politti's, "Perfect Way" mentioned in years! I was beginning to think I had imagined the 80's awesome that was that song!) This is told from alternating...

Don't judge a book by it's cover.

This was my initial thought regarding this book ---> The best thing about this book is the cover. While my overall feelings about SEPTEMBER GIRLS have not necessarily changed, they have been altered a bit and here's why... I had a fantastic conversation recently...

Complex and Heartbreaking

I stayed up until 2 a.m. to finish this book and then spent the next three hours staring at my ceiling while I tried to work out my feelings because this left me heartbroken, conflicted and frustrated. What I liked: The cover, the unique letter-style writing...

Worth the read for the epilogue.

What I liked: I always enjoy seeing a story from another character's POV, especially a good guy like Will. There are a few new (short) scenes interspersed and an epilogue that made me ugly cry, but for the most part, this is SLAMMED all over again. ...

Magic, Fantasy and Romance

What I liked: I'm not usually a huge fan of stories with a lot of magic or fantasy (Shadow and Bone having been the exception) but I enjoyed this book. It's well written with engaging characters and detailed world building. You Are Mine has plenty of romance too but...

I stayed up late to finish this. Was it worth it? Oh Kale yes it was!

What I liked: This is a tough review to write and NOT be spoilerish but I will do my best. TREMBLE is fast paced, action packed and picks up not too long after TOXIC and Jus Accardo wastes no time kicking you in the feels as far as Kale and...

Prepare To Get Your Nerd On

What I liked: Fast-paced, entertaining, completely uh-dorable read! Maddie is a thoroughly enjoyable and relateable character whose journey is not an uncommon one. It can be hard to figure out who we are sometimes and the path is often fraught with hits, misses and mistakes. ...

Unique Romance With A Twist

What I liked: The cover is the reason I wanted to read this. *grins* This was a unique coming of age story with an interesting plot twist. I was able to read it fairly quickly but not because it was full of rainbows and unicorns. The issues these characters deal...

Cute Summer Read

What I liked: This is a cute story about tween crushes, first loves and learning how to just be yourself. It's well written with a steady pace. The friendships feel genuine and the focus on "romance" is not over the top. The "quizzes" cracked me up because I remember...

Entertaining End to the Series.

What I liked: This is well written, with detailed world building and enjoyable characters who are witty, brave and unselfish. (Hector is my favorite) We're introduced to new faces, thrown a few twists and there is a betrayal I did not see coming. *sniffs* Every secret/lie/oath is revealed by book's...

Satisfying End To The Trilogy

What I liked: I really like the black and white color schemes of these new covers. It's well written, fast moving and not quite as dramatic as the previous two books. The ending was satisfying and the Epilogue was very sweet and made me ugly cry. *shrugs* I have...

Entertaining and Heartwarming Debut

"Sometimes it's the scary things in life that are the most worthwhile." Kissing, laughter, drama, and heart racing romantic tension, Losing It has it all! I was so excited to have a chance to read this and enjoyed so much about this story, especially main character, Bliss...
