What I Loved: Paula Stokes does a fabulous job at making unlikeable characters readable. I didn't ever come to like Max, Parvati, or Preston, but you don't have to like characters to be interested in their story and I was definitely interested. The strongest...

What I Loved: While readers met a few other half-dragons in SERAPHINA, I was dying to meet them all. Rachel Hartman delivered with SHADOW SCALE. Seraphina has to gather the half-dragons she's only seen in her mind together to protect her beloved country and her...

What I Loved: Jodi Meadows blew me away with her Newsoul trilogy (go pick it up, people!). I never thought she could've topped such a relatable heroine and unique setting, but she proved me wrong with THE ORPHAN QUEEN. There are familiar fantasy elements here:...

What I Loved: I loved this book. LOVED IT. I already want to reread it and I just put it down a week ago. I loved the world-building so much. There are so many different forces at play in this world and the way they all...

What I Loved: The Sin Eater's Daughter intrigued me starting with just the title itself. Who was the Sin Eater? What does that even mean? Once I found out what the Sin Eater does, I was hooked. There are elements of this story's world that...

What I Loved: I’m going to start off by saying this isn’t a book for everyone. I have a feeling it will be pretty polarizing in the reviews: you either hate it or love it. When I started the first story about the cave girl, I thought I was...

What I Loved: Cat Winters excels at creating an atmospheric novel. I was so drawn into her world and the time period that I found myself feeling just as frustrated and trapped as the women in the story. It makes my blood boil to think about all of the...

What I Loved: Falling Into Place is a contemporary novel I've had my eye on since its release, so I'm glad I finally picked it up and read it. I can see why readers have been praising it and the author as a fresh new voice in contemporary YA....

What I Loved: This series has enchanted me from the beginning and Unmade is no different. Kami is such a great heroine. It's so refreshing to see a female character with such agency. She wants to save her town and her loved ones, so she...

What I Loved: I've heard nothing but good things about Not A Drop To Drink and the reviews were right: this is a story you don't want to miss. What sets this novel apart from other dystopian/apocalyptic novels is its tone. Often these kinds of stories...

What I Loved: It’s rare to find a series that gets so much better with each book, but good god, is His Fair Assassin one of them. I enjoyed Gravy Mercy, but for some reason, it took me a while to move forward with the series and start Dark...

What I Loved: I had a hard time putting into words my love for The Dream Thieves. I’m facing the same problem with BLLB. How can I express how much I utterly adore Blue and her boys? Because seriously…I LOVE THEM. So in a similar fashion, instead of trying...

What I Loved: In ALL OUR PRETTY SONGS, the story of Cass and Maia, the mothers, was left mostly a mystery. DIRTY WINGS provides the backstory of how the two girls came together and how they ended up where they did. The writing is just as...

What I Loved: Ever since I saw Divergent in theaters, I've wanted to get back into this world. Four is my favorite character of the series, so I was excited at the chance to explore his backstory. With the first story, we begin to understand...

What I Loved: I devoured Michael Grant's Gone series, so when I heard he was publishing a new one, I was very excited to read it. MESSENGER OF FEAR is a promising start to a new fantasy/paranormal story. The story grab's the reader's attention and keeps one turning the...
