4 stars — Well, this one ended with a lot of tears…it’s been a few months since a book has done that to me. And it wasn’t the only time I teared up in this book! Which is not to say that this is a sad book, by any means. But Vela goes through some […]
4.5 stars — Okay, I had NO IDEA that this was going to feature nerdiness and gaming!! While I’m not a gamer of ANY TYPE whatsoever, I really loved having another nerdy little book to read!! The elements of the game that Ms. Griffin added to the book were so real and rich and really […]
3 stars — OK. So. Hmmm… I adored the first book in this series, so I was excited to see more. But…while this one wasn’t bad, it was just missing something. The tropes in this story are friends to lovers and fake relationship, and I didn’t always understand their friendship, and I DEFINITELY didn’t understand […]
4.5 stars — I don’t know what it was about this one, but I was just sucked in and connected with both Alex and Bailey, hardcore. I felt all the tummy tingles, and even the agony of bad decisions and daily life things they were struggling with…as a result, the entire book being about neither […]
4.5 stars — So what do I do when I finish an amazing book by an author that’s left me with a huge book hangover?? Pick up another book by that author that I’ve also been afraid to read b/c of feelz!!! Why am I not doing this more often? Because this book just 100% […]
4.5 stars — You guys, that blurb, and the whole concept of this book scared me. Not because I was worried it wasn’t going to be good, but sometimes I need a boost to dive into a book I know is going to give me the feelz. But my hubby was all “stop procrastinating, just […]
4 stars — This was a cute little read! It was short and, as a result, things moved quite quickly — which isn’t always a bad thing, but it did feel a bit quick on the feelings front. But even as short as it was, it still had some great messages for teens…that I think […]
DNF @ 22% — Uhhhh…. I got this one almost 5 years ago, I think because someone whose reviews I follow loved it. I can honestly say that we must have different tastes. I was NOT a fan of the writing style at all. It felt…simplistic? The characters came across really flat and almost like […]
Favorite Quote: Figures as soon as I meet someone I really like, I end up murdered. This series took me FOREVER to finish. I loved the first two, the third one was alright but I found myself delaying finishing the series. Not because I didn’t want to, but, well, yeah I guess I didn’t want […]
Favorite Quotes: “Sometimes I have a difficult time understanding how such beauty can exist in such a dark world,” Dread twisted my insides and I glanced over my shoulder in panic. The figure drew closer, shadows peeling free of it like sticky tar. There was no definition to its face, only a pair of solid […]
