MY THOUGHTS RJ has just been told that she's to have a long life when she dies. It's a complete accident. The Grim Reaper wasn't even supposed to collect her, but now she's on her way to the afterlife. She tells everyone there how she's supposed to be...

Creepy and Unique

MY THOUGHTS I have an odd fondness to creep factor in books, so when I realized that this was a horror, I really wanted to read it. This book was definitely odd and had tons of creepiness within it! I didn't absolutely love it, but this was a...

Not What I Expected, But Still Great

MY THOUGHTS I had very high expectations for this book. It sounded completely creepy and I was excited to dive in! While I did like this book, it was definitely not what I expected and it didn't blow me away. Grace has been through horrific things,...

Slower Than the Previous Books, But Still Amazing

MY THOUGHTS I'll start off by saying that I LOVE this series! It's such a fantastic series and I really wish that more people knew about it! When I received a review copy of this book, it absolutely made my day! This book wasn't as awesome as I...

A Great Conclusion to a Great Series!

MY THOUGHTS Yet another great sci-fi series comes to a close. I absolutely adore this series and after that cliffhanger in the last book, I was more than ready to pick this one up! I am glad to say that this was a fantastic conclusion and did not...

A Fun, Quick Read

MY THOUGHTS This was a very quick and easy read with charming fun! In fact, I enjoyed it a bit more than Keeping the Castle, which this is technically a companion to. This book follows a multiple cast of characters, including 8 girls of...

I'm always up for parallel worlds and this one's no different!

MY THOUGHTS This book was on of my most anticipated releases off the year, so I had high expectations. This book wasn't as groundbreaking as I expected, but I still loved it! Ever since an accident at the zoo when she was a child, Fiona...

Quick & Fun!

MY THOUGHTS Cam has been raised by a witch. No, seriously. The witch is constantly trying to get Cam to learn spells, giving her odd punishments (turning her into words, lose feeling in limbs, the usual), and odd errands. The problem is that Cam doesn't like the witch...

A Brilliant Book on a Very Tough Subject

MY THOUGHTS This was such a hard book to read. This book focuses entirely on the difficult subject of bullying. I usually avoid books about bullying because I have a very very low tolerance on bullying. When I read a book about bullying I get so angry. I...

Great Ghost Story, Though Some Things Fell Short

MY THOUGHTS I was kind of worried about this book at first. Not because of he creepiness, but because I watched the YouTube series and it was a disappointment. Thankfully, this book was much creepier (which I love). Sunshine's mother just moved the both of...

Meh

MY THOUGHTS I've seen this book around, but never picked it up because of the awkward cover. I saw it at a cheap book sale, though, so I figured "why not?". I probably could've done without reading this book. It wasn't horrible. It's your typical dystopian, but it was...

Not the Thriller I was Expecting

MY THOUGHTS I piked this book up sort of impulsively at a cheap used book sale. I didn't really know much about this book except that it's a thriller. I was a bit disappointed, it wasn't as actiony as I expected, but it was very interesting! ...

Oddly Fun and Entertaining Paranormal

MY THOUGHTS This isn't a new premise for me. I love ghosty books and I've read many where a main character moved to a new home and falls for a ghost. In fact, I've read a few that have also taken place in Scotland. Many of these books have...

MY THOUGHTS I wasn't really sure what to expect from this book. I decided to pick it up solely based on the large amount of great things I've heard about it. I'm glad to say that this was a great book. This book is from...
