Searching for Beautiful by Nyrae Dawn

Searching for Beautiful by Nyrae Dawn

3.5 stars — This one was okay.  Probably a better book for actual teens instead of us weird adults who like to read YA. I feel like I just wanted more…it was all just kind of basic?  I genuinely don’t know how to describe it other than to say that I just didn’t feel the […]

3 stars — You know what?  This one started out pretty strong.  Dez was sassy, if a little edgy.  Kale was strangely adorable.  The action was fast-paced, the mystery intriguing. But it started going downhill, it picked up speed, and I just couldn’t suspend my disbelief anymore.  Seriously, I initially looked at my 3 stars […]

A Curse of Roses by Diana Pinguicha

A Curse of Roses by Diana Pinguicha

3.5 stars — Hmmm…there were a lot of interesting things in this book, and after reading the author’s note at the end, I actually have a more interesting perspective on the book.  But, all the same, I found it hard to get into the story at times, the pacing felt…not quite right to me.  And […]

Toxic by Lydia Kang

Toxic by Lydia Kang

3.5 stars — While I was intrigued by the plot and where it would go, in the end I wasn’t particularly attached to the characters, or the romance, which tends to be my bread and butter…and something I need to really push a book over the top. I both listened and read, though I only […]

Send Me Their Souls by Sara Wolf

Send Me Their Souls by Sara Wolf

4.5 stars — Honestly?  The whole story went in a few directions I was NOT expecting.  I can’t explain, but the plot laid out differently than I was expecting in so many ways.  Sometimes that meant there were lulls in action…but in those lulls we got to learn more: either about the world, the magic, or […]

Find Me Their Bones by Sara Wolf

Find Me Their Bones by Sara Wolf

4.5 stars — I did NOT anticipate where this story was going to go!  I was surprised right from the start. I will admit that I was a bit bummed that Zera spent the ENTIRE story letting her hunger get her to believe in her own worthlessness.  It was so hard to see her just […]

Lost Girls by Merrie Destefano

Lost Girls by Merrie Destefano

3.5 stars — This book had a lot of ups and downs, but it mostly pulled it in in the end. I will admit that I was initially intrigued by the mystery…but then I started not really liking or connecting with Rachel and for a good chunk of the beginning-middle I kinda just wanted to […]

Hiding Lies by Julie Cross

Hiding Lies by Julie Cross

4.5 stars — Oh dude!!  This book took me through the ringer.  I swear, my poor hubby.  I was about to start reading again, and gave a huge anxiety induced sigh and my hubby made the mistake of asking me what’s wrong…and after I finished explaining how I wasn’t sure of this person’s motive, and […]

Bring Me Their Hearts by Sara Wolf

Bring Me Their Hearts by Sara Wolf

4.5 stars — You know what?  That was totally lived up to my high expectations for a fantasy book from Ms. Wolf.  I was honestly worried it wouldn’t, which is why I kept avoiding reading it.  But nope, it was chock full of the same fantastic snarkiness that I’ve come to expect…mixed with a fascinating […]
