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...

Great Summer Read

Thank you to fellow YABC'er and author Kim Baccellia for sharing this ARC with me! What I liked: This was my first Sarah Dessen novel. It's well written with engaging characters and takes place in a beautiful setting. Emaline is an easy MC to like and...

I Dare You To read this and NOT love it.

Let me just say that my words won't do this book justice, so I dare you to read it and see for yourself how Katie McGarry knocks it out of the park! What I loved: This a heartrending story about of love, forgiveness and learning how...

The Amish Romeo and Juliet saga continues.

What I liked: The cover is what piqued my interest followed closely by the plot, like an Amish Romeo and Juliet. It's well written with a clear distinction between the dialect of the Amish verses the English (anyone who isn't Amish) and of course, there's plenty of romantic tension. ...

Engaging Read!

What I loved: I was both excited and nervous to read Hunter's story because even though I enjoyed him in the previous books, I was pretty sure he would've let me hit the ground in a trust fall. Brigid Kemmerer never fails to disappoint though, nor is she afraid to...

Excellent Addition To The ELEMENTAL Series

What I loved: It's a Merrick boy, do I really need to say more? Yeah, didn't think so, but I will. I really enjoy Brigid's characters (like, really, really, really) as well as her style of alternating POV's because they're so effortless and easy to follow. She isn't afraid to...

The Fold can't even handle how awesome Siege and Storm is!

What I loved: This cover is perfection and THIS is how you do a sequel! Just like with Shadow And Bone (which was my Favorite Read of 2012), I was once again completely engrossed in this fantastical world Leigh Bardugo has created! She weaves a spell-binding...

Gut-wrenching, Tragic, Amazing.

DISCLAIMER: This review, try as I might, will not do justice to this book... I enjoyed THE IMMORTAL RULES (BLOOD OF EDEN #1) SO much I wrote a poem but THE ETERNITY CURE left me speechless - and rocking back and forth in a corner. ...

Yeehaw this was good!

Is there anything Jennifer Echols CAN'T write?! What had me shoutin' Yeehaw!: Dirty Little Secret reads like a country song - you've got love, loss, heartbreak and redemption and as usual, Jennifer Echols gives us flawed characters who are funny, endearing and completely relateable. Bailey...

Gritty, Heart-wrenching, Beautiful

What I Loved: It's not often that a book leaves me at a loss for words, but this one did. I read it fairly quickly although I wouldn't classify it as a "fast read" because if you skip over any part then you'll miss vital pieces of this story which...

LOVED.DANTE.SO.FLIPPIN'.HARD!

Excuse me while I fangirl ALL OVER Dante! (while wearing a pair of red converse, of course.) The rumors are true, Dante Walker is "flippin' awesome", he had me at "finger blades" and he reminds me of a Twix cupcake. ...

Raw, Heart-wrenching, Beautiful

What I loved: The letter in the beginning explains how this book was inspired by real life events and I didn't even make it past the first couple of sentences before the tears started! And Then I Found You is a beautifully written, heart-wrenching story of love, loss, tough choices...

I enjoyed that! Completely. Without thinking twice.

What I loved: This picks up where Of Poseidon left off and we're tossed right back into the tidal wave of action, adventure and romance with our favorite Syrena and Half-Breed. In keeping with the first book, Of Triton is told from alternating POV's and offers up quite a few...
