My Review of Dark & Devious by M.J. Padgett

My Review: ★★★★ Dark and Devious is a very unique and compelling story; however, the audiobook narration for this book is too monotonous. I tried several times and at several different speeds, but there was just no emotion in the performance, and I ended up buying the ebook to read instead. I am glad that…

My Review of The Broken Heart of Arelium by Alex Robins

My Review: ★★★★ This book sucked me right into its world and lore. Robins has a meticulous writing style that paints a vibrant and sometimes violent picture of the horrible war raging between the realm and the Greylings, barbaric monsters who turn out to be very formidable foes, tearing men limb from limb with ease.…

My Review of Blinded Me With Science by Tara September

My Review: ★★★★★ I’m not usually much of a Romance reader, but I am a sucker for this kind of book where the brainy girl and the popular and slightly bad boyesque guy get thrown together and discover they actually aren’t so different. In Blinded Me With Science, Emerson, who is super smart and trying…

My Review of The Hidden Princess by Mira Crest

My Review: ★★½ This book is marketed as a YA Cinderella Fantasy Romance, but it doesn’t read that way. The Cinderella aspect is a very, very loose retelling with only a mistreated girl and a prince to amount to any similarities. The writing tone and complexity feel much more Middle-Grade than Young Adult. The romance…

My Review of Christmas After All by Cece Louise

My Review: ★★★★★ This was such a cute rom-com! It had me gut clutch laughing and even shedding a few tears along the way. Melissa is hilarious, and I’m there for her kind of energy! Totally going to start using mother-tucker as a swear from now on! Tucker is a great guy, and I’m happy…

My Review of Frostfire by Sam Thorne and Lauren Ivy

My Review: ★★★★☆ I’ve been a fan of Dark Fantasy for a long time, but they can get rather formulaic after a while. Frostfire is a fresh take on the genre with an easy-to-follow magic system, demons who are intelligent and sinister, and main characters who use more than magic to solve their problems, which…

My Review Moonlit Woods by Eliza Tilton

I was given a copy of the audiobook to review honestly. I really wanted to love this book. The promise of a fae romance that wasn’t filled with tons of spicy scenes intrigued me. I prefer books with great plots and secondary romance, so this seemed right up my alley. The premise of this book…

My Review Of House of Hollow by Krystal Sutherland

House of Hollow is a decadently dark and utterly mesmerizing read! I could not put this book down and found myself obsessively thinking of it when I did have to take a break to do required things like sleeping, eating, and all that jazz. The atmosphere of this book is thick and woven so tightly…
