I have been beyond impatient waiting for this short story to be released! Warner has to be my favorite “villain” ever. I was fascinated by his obsession with Juliette in Shatter Me, so I could not wait to get into his head in Destroy Me. This takes place shortly after...

Riley is the daughter of a well renowned demon trapper, and the only female trapper (besides the one on some reality TV show). When her father is killed on the job, Riley must cast a protective circle around his grave and sit vigil until the next full moon or else...

Much like its companion Pretty Amy, Dear Cassie is not a happy read. It’s another hard punch of reality that continues with the consequences of Amy, Cassie, and Lila’s disastrous prom night. This time we’re following Cassie to rehab as part of her sentencing. However, it’s not the medical facility...

The Dead Girls’ Dance picks up exactly where Glass Houses ended, which is great since that was some cliffhanger! We immediately learn more about the hilariously, sweet, Shane, who isn’t so hilarious or sweet with his crazy, vampire-hunting, biker, father around. In fact, his father causes a whole lot of...

Daughter of Smoke and Bone is 100% amazing from beginning to end! It was unlike anything I had ever read and was not what I was expecting. “Karou didn’t add that she didn’t need a Taser; she was more than capable of defending herself without electricity. She’d...

Wow. I thought Daughter of Smoke and Bone was magical and awesome, but Days of Blood and Starlight takes it to a whole other level. If only all middle of a trilogy books could be like this one! While it did feel like an extended set up for the last...

Crewel is a highly unique addition to the YA Sci-Fi genre. It’s some strange combination of Utopia and Dystopia. I know that sounds weird, but it’s true. On the surface Arras looks like a nice place to live. There’s no crime, just peace, but this is actually accomplished through weaving...

Confessions of an Angry Girl does read fairly young since the main character, Rose, is only 14, but I found that I really enjoyed her narrative. Rose’s life is currently a mess due to some real issues and superficial ones. Her father just died in a horrific way, her brother...

A lot happens in such a short time during Scarlet. The story picks up immediately after the ending of Cinder, but we’re not in New Bejing anymore. Scarlet starts out in France, where we meet its title character. At first I was worried that the entire book would be about...

I absolutely loved that this was set in futuristic China rather than the US like so many other novels are. The author’s descriptions of New Bejing are wonderful. We get plenty of little details that made it easy to imagine. There’s androids, hover vehicles, littered streets, netscreens, and holographic fires....

Even though they’re out of the arena, the games are still not over for Katniss and Peeta. They must now go on tour and keep up their lovers routine, in order to placate the Capitol, who views their triumph as an act of rebellion. And Katniss is now the face...

A lot has changed in Claire’s life since the end of Lord of Misrule. For one, she’s finally 17, and should be celebrating with her friends, but she’s not. She also moved back in with her parents. She’s now Bishop’s errand girl, and is magically bound to do as he...

Wow. I read this through in one sitting; I just could not put it down. I’m not really sure where to start this review. I could start at the beginning, which is really the end, since the book starts off with the night everything went to hell. Everything in the...

I feel like this story could have taken place in any other decade and been exactly the same. I was really hoping for more insight into the Roaring 20?s, but instead got a few mentions of flimsy, sparkling dresses and people peacefully drinking their illegal liquor. Where was the excitement...

Like I said, Eclipse is easily my favorite, but I found that I didn’t enjoy it as much the second time around. This time the annoying things stuck out more and hindered my enjoyment of it, but it was still a great read. There’s a lot going on in Eclipse,...
