Sinner’s Isle by Angela Montoya-Book Review

Featured

I read an eARC of Sinner’s Isle by Angela Montoya. Thank you, NetGalley and Random House Children’s. This book has an audience. I knew this while reading it, and it was reaffirmed when I saw the score for the book. For me though, this book's dialogue and characters just came off as too cliché. Especially, … Continue reading Sinner’s Isle by Angela Montoya-Book Review →

Guardians of Dawn: Zhara by S. Jae-Jones — Book Review

Featured

I read an eARC of Guardians of Dawn: Zhara by S. Jae-Jones. Thank you, NetGalley and St. Martins Press. I think comparing this to Sailor Moon doesn’t quite set the right tone. Think of this more as the setup to a magical girl book series with the Cinderella twist for romantic spice. This book has … Continue reading Guardians of Dawn: Zhara by S. Jae-Jones — Book Review →

Their Vicious Grames by Joelle Wellington-Book Review

Featured

I read an eARC of Their Vicious Games by Joelle Wellington. Thank you NetGalley and Simon and Schuster Books for Young Readers. This book falls neatly into what I dub the “Death Game” genre. Where, for whatever reason, our protagonist is in a deadly game that is probably aimed to end in all but one … Continue reading Their Vicious Grames by Joelle Wellington-Book Review →

Dark Room Etiquette by Robin Roe -Book Review

I read an ARC of Dark Room Etiquette from NetGalley and Harpercollins Children’s Books in exchange for an honest review. This book is a depressing ride. If you read it, mind the triggers, and be ready more for contemplation of who you are and what makes people worth associating with, and who we are as … Continue reading Dark Room Etiquette by Robin Roe -Book Review →

The Wicked Remain (The Grimrose Girls #2) by Laura Pohl

I read an arc book of The Wicked Remain from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.  That ending, no spoilers, but it was the type where a 4.5-star becomes a 5. Beautiful, beautifully written, just perfect.  But what is this book about? This is the sequel to The Grimrose Girls. Which, stop reading this … Continue reading The Wicked Remain (The Grimrose Girls #2) by Laura Pohl →
