Waking Up Alive by Emma Shortt

Waking Up Alive by Emma Shortt

3.5 stars — I moved this book up on my TBR b/c I’m trying to read books featuring black characters for black history month, and from the cover I assumed Tye was black.  I feel like there are different reasons for having diverse characters, and if your reasons are to see things from the perspective […]

A Mortal Song by Megan Crewe

4.5 stars — I’m a day late, but I started reading this book to fulfill the January theme for one of my Diversity challenges, which was “Stories based on/ inspired by diverse folktales/culture/mythology.”  This book fit that theme PERFECTLY and I’m so glad I picked it up with this challenge in mind, b/c I was […]

Grin and Beard It by Penny Reid

Grin and Beard It by Penny Reid

5 stars — My wonderful co-conspirator, Curly Carla, loaned this book to me through Kindle (which we both didn’t think was going to work since I’m in Canada and we Canadians can’t loan books, BUT IT DID!)!!  And I adored it so much I immediately upon finishing went out and bought it so I didn’t […]

Getting Lucky Number Seven by Cindi Madsen

Getting Lucky Number Seven by Cindi Madsen

ORIGINAL REVIEW: 4 stars — Exactly what you always get in a Cindi Madsen book — adorable quirky characters who have great chemistry. And apparently I am short on words today, cause that’s all I got. Thoroughly enjoyed the book, don’t take my lack of verbosity as anything but a rift in the space-time continuum. […]

Point of Origin by Rebecca Yarros

Point of Origin by Rebecca Yarros

4.5 stars — Oooooo!!!  I sincerely hope this is the start of a new series by Ms. Yarros, b/c I want to know ALL THE STORIES!!  This little novella was a great introduction to the town of Legacy and the Hotshots. And Bash and Emerson were fantastic!  Lots of angst and heartbreak, but also lots […]

Taking Shots by Toni Aleo

Taking Shots by Toni Aleo

2.5 stars — Well crap.  I have a few friends that really enjoyed this book, and so I was really looking forward to it.  It started off a bit rough for me — for an Indie book being picked up by Loveswept, I guess I was a little disappointed that there were still quite a […]

Bridges Burned by Chris Cannon

Bridges Burned by Chris Cannon

4.5 stars — Starts up RIGHT where book 1 ended.  Feels a bit more like one long narrative that’s broken into pieces than what I’m used to from series books…not that that’s a bad thing, but it means the endings of the books are kind of abrupt and don’t conclude in a clear manner. LOVE […]

Falling From the Sky by Sarina Bowen

Falling From the Sky by Sarina Bowen

ORIGINAL REVIEW: 3.5 stars — Ms. Bowen sucked me in again with her First Chapter Friday.  I can’t seem to resist when I notice them, and after reading it I had to one-click this baby.  I found the beginning of the story to be very compelling, but I lost my verve for the story somewhere […]

Center Ice by Cate Cameron

Center Ice by Cate Cameron

4 stars — After having the privilege to read the 2nd book in this series through NetGalley, and thoroughly enjoying it, I just knew I had to read Tyler and Karen’s story too…  And I was not disappointed, it gave me all the great things that Chris and Claudia’s story did, but in a totally […]
