Unraveling Isobel wasn’t quite the psychological thriller I was hoping for, but it was still a great read. First of all, I just want to say that I hated Isobel’s mom and stepdad. They were incredibly heartless at times and it really bugged me. Not in the...

Still Waters is quite the ride, let me tell you. Gripes: 1. Hannah: When I first started reading I was annoyed with basically everyone. Hannah was acting completely absurd about a few things. For one, she kept acting as if “breaking into” her boyfriend’s house was...

Harbinger was…strange. That’s honestly the best word I can think of to describe it. I’d say it’s a strange that falls onto the side of good-strange, though. It took a while for me to really get into the story because I knew there was something more than...

I wasn’t really sure what to expect going into Girl Meets Boy. I found the concept really intriguing, but was very surprised when I discovered how small it was. I’m very skeptical about short stories, I’ll admit it, but overall I’d say I enjoyed Girl Meets Boy and it’s actually...

Bittersweet is the perfect book to curl up with on a dreary winter day. I adored everything about Bittersweet from the characters to the cupcakes. Let’s start with Hudson. I could completely relate to her need to escape the small town. I really appreciated her determination...

Why, oh why haven’t I read this book before? It’s no secret that I’m very finicky when it comes to my paranormal reading choices. I find a lot of them to be pretty similar, especially when it comes to the lovey part of the story, but Hex...

Bad Taste in Boys was so fun! I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect going into this. I’d heard good things back when it was published, but it didn’t make its way onto my TBR for quite a while. I don’t quite remember what exactly pushed me...

Upon finishing Ghostgirl I’m not really sure how I feel. On the one hand, it could be darkly funny while still managing cute romance at times and on the other, it could be very shallow and just kind of missed the mark other times. So let’s...

I feel Scored never got the recognition it deserves. This is one solid dystopian. The idea that the world is run on a scoring system doesn’t really take a lot of imagination. We already base a person’s worth off whether they got a certain amount of schooling...

Honestly, I’m desperately sad I didn’t like this one more. I was attracted to The Cabinet of Earths because it sounded like a new and unique idea with a good heaping helping of adventure. I did end up experiencing a really new idea, but the adventure just...

Disclaimer: I wrote this review past midnight so I’m sorry if it seems a bit jumbly or rambly :P I ended up adoring this book. I say it that way because for the first ¼ to 1/3 it wasn’t really making me want to jump...

Bird was a whimsical read. I wouldn’t quite call it cute because at times it almost seemed tragically sad, but in a way that younger kids can still read and appreciate. I would almost say that Bird would be better appreciated by an older audience than seems...

Freshman Year and Other Unnatural Disasters turned out to be a complete win. I wasn’t really sure how I’d feel about it since contemporaries featuring younger main characters can be a little too silly for me, but this one wasn't like that at all. In fact, it...

I went into Lost Voices still expecting somewhat of a light read despite the synopsis simply because it was mermaids. I was very, very wrong. Lost Voices is dark and haunting, but not in a scary way (although, I’m a little afraid of boats now). Though it...

To simply give you an idea of how this book made me feel I’ll tell you this: I finished the story with a smile. Now, I’m a crier when it comes to books. It’s pretty easy to get me worked up, but I’m not ashamed, I love when books make...
