You know that feeling when you think you've already seen an author at the best and then you're WRONG?!? I do now. I loved Kelly St. Clare's the Tainted Accords series. As in, I was completely obsessed and am still chomping at the bit to get that fourth book. So...

Holy cuteness. Animal books are a favorite in my house and this is one of the best I’ve seen. Willy is a young gorilla who wants to see what it’s like to live as the other animals in the zoo do. He imitates various animal behaviors, much to...

I’ve been reading a lot of children’s books lately and have found a new favorite. My two-year-old partner in crime calls this the “Tiger Book” as she asks to read it again and again. For five nights running, she’s wanted this to be her bedtime story and then her second...

Pete the Cat is one of the cutest children's series out there and this one fits in well. My niece is obsessed, so I've read most of them. They vary in age range and this was old for her two years, but I'm excited for when she is ready for...

A Walk in the Sun is an endearing romance that tugs at the heartstrings ever so slightly. Grief hits people in different ways, strengthening some and breaking others. Rose Darrow is the former. She's still dealing with the loss of her mother when we pick up her story. Not only...

We all know the story here. The Three Little Pigs is one of the most common tales we hear as children. It's from a time when fairy-tales were also designed to scare children a little bit. The scary bits were covered up by a pleasing rhythm to the words and...

I love books about magic. I’ll just throw that out there. So, this one excited me. It also has the benefit of a setting not normally seen in the genre – Rome, which is very cool. Lucius is a young man whose life has been planned...

What They Don’t Tell You About Love in the Movie is an interesting book, mainly in that I could never quite decide how I felt about it. Let’s start with the packaging. The cover is eye-catching. I was so excited to read this because right away...

Beautiful writing. A strong heroine. A well-done villain. A unique world. Miss Mable’s School For Girls is all of that and more. Bianca is a teenage girl whose family has suffered through generations of a terrible curse. Her grandmother is dying. Her mother is sick. Her...

Intriguing ... that's the right word for this story. First, would you look at that cover. It is very cool. Miri is a young girl who was raised by her grandmother until the age of ten. She'd thought it was as normal a childhood as...

I started this book as soon as I finished book two and was done in just two days. It moves along quite a bit faster than the rest of the series and I was thankful for that. The story picks up with Careen in custody and...

Immediately upon finishing book one in the series, I was drawn into the next part of their saga. It’s an intriguing world that grips you right from the get go. The story picks up as Tommy and Careen are making their escape from the capital. They’re...

Ahhhh ... the teenage years. High school is not an easy time for anyone. Margot is your average freshman girl except that she has spent years being tormented for no reason. She isn't the typical type to get bullied, proving that at that age, it doesn’t take much. ...

This is definitely my kind of book. It has an originality about it that is hard to create in the dystopian genre. I love that. As soon as I started it, I was sucked into this crazy world, just praying I wouldn’t be interrupted. Alas, life happens, but every time...

I finished this book a few days ago and have given my brain time to think before writing the review. That’s not really a bad thing. It just means that this is a story that takes a lot of mental energy. It twists the mind every which way, making you...
