My Review: ★★★★ This is a difficult book to review. I really enjoyed the story. The concept is amazing, and the storytelling is crisp and well-paced. Still, it was very hard to like the love interest, Wyran, until very late in the book because of the abusive nature of his relationship with Lillian, the book’s[…]
My Review: ★★★★★ This story was just the gem I’d been looking for! I love the world, the characters, and I need more! I need to know what happens next! The story starts off with Patrick, a goat herder who travels to the city of Olthetta to become a mercenary. As he reaches the beach,[…]
My Review: ★★★ While I enjoyed the characters in the book, and the main premise was brilliant, the writing style was very hard to follow at times, and I found myself going back over sections again and again in order to understand what was actually going on. As such, it took me a very long[…]
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: ★★★★ 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: ★★★★★ 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: ★★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: ★★★★★ 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: ★★★★☆ 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[…]
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[…]
