“You’re a hero, Penryn, whether you like it or not.”

This will be a short review since this follows Angelfall.

World After is much like Angelfall (obviously, it’s written by the same author and is a trilogy). As much as I’m loving these books, as well as the characters, there still is no “wow” factor to make…Read more

Possible spoilers ahead.

Angelfall is most definitely a unique story with a dark twist on angels and the apocalypse itself. I always used to wonder when I would come across a book that would make it seem like the angels were the bad guys, and, well, I found it. The relationship between Penryn and Raffe happens to be one of my…Read more

Possible spoilers ahead.

A Court of Thorns and Roses is a very engaging story, throwing us into a new world of faeries and humans. The writing style of the author is captivating, making it hard the book down. I happened to be at work when I started reading this, and the more I read, the more I got into it, leaving behind…Read more

Curse of the Sphinx is a somewhat fast-paced story with one of my favorite types of mythology, starring the wonderful and somewhat sheltered Hope. The prologue was wonderfully written, but the following couple of chapters became bland. I feel like I should have had some sort of emotional connection to some of the…Read more

Heir of Fire is a great third installment to the Throne of Glass series. It continues our journey through each character’s life after Celaena left for Wendlyn courtesy of Chaol who didn’t quite understand where he had “tossed” his friend until she actually left.

I really love this new, undiscovered world along with the people…Read more

The biggest reveal ever.

I will never stop subconsciously fangirling about this book and this series until my last breath. Crown of Midnight is the action-packed second installment of the Throne of Glass series and one of my most favorite. Why? Well, maybe you should read it and see for yourself. (HINT: The ending will…Read more

Throne of Glass is the epic and action-packed beginning of a greatly unique story about the amazing, strong character, Celaena Sardothien. For those who haven’t read The Assassin’s Blade, I really must say that you should read that first to get the background information and the introduction to the new world Ms.…Read more

** This review is based off of the new, revised copy of Nirvana. I had received a copy prior to this and they made changes.

Okay, so this was most certainly a completely different story compared to what I read in the beginning, but did it get better? Not really.

The back and forth (until later on when it just… stopped) of…Read more

Sanctuary Bay was a title I was really excited to read and I admit that I hate that I pushed this to the back of my queue due to the release date (I had received an invite to read this last year). As someone just getting into the thriller genre, I wanted to add something new to the list. Before reading, I decided to read through a…Read more

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Why, man, why?!

I’m gonna start this review off extremely honest; I have NO idea why I put off reading this for so long. I’ve seen a few good things about it which caused me to buy the book from Barnes and Noble a few months ago and just never thought to just take a little peek into…Read more

When approaching a new book that deals with a character and mental illness, I’m always cautious. With people romanticizing mental illness around the world, it makes me extremely suspicious of books like this. However, I was still interested in reading this and was glad to be able to finally pick it up after having it spend months…Read more

Welcome to the new Twilight. *Sigh*

Angels of Moirai had me at its summary since I’m one to fall for the whole angel-like stuff in books, but did it live up to my expectations?

I want to first talk about the characters which, in my opinion, had no depth. I couldn’t connect to literally any of them and it really impacted the…Read more

I used to read a lot about how to write well and I always saw people talking about how the first 10 pages really count. As an author, you have 10 pages to capture a reader before they decide whether or not they want to continue. This book definitely piqued my interest in less than the first 10 pages.

The love interest in…Read more
