Truly Madly Royally by Debbie Rigaud

Truly Madly Royally by Debbie Rigaud

4 stars — I got exactly what I was looking for in this book: a cute YA royalty story, mixed in with a strong black heroine.  While just by being a book written by a black woman, containing a black heroine, we got a look at everyday life…but race wasn’t the main issue in the […]

Devils’ Day Party by C.M. Stunich

Favorite Quotes: Perspective is important, isn’t it? Something that seems so horrible one minute, is like a drop in the ocean the next. That’s the shit I need to stop doing, letting other’s actions influence my own happiness. I am the source of my happiness. I must also remember that I am the designer of […]

Emily Zeller was fantastic as always as the narrator.  Her voices were consistent even with the first book, and I basically just LOVE everything about how she narrates these books.  I honestly can’t imagine consuming this […]

4 stars — I might be in the minority, but I kind of love alternative POV short stories.  I love getting in the head of another major character and seeing things through their eyes.  And that’s what this short story from Peree gave me. The problem?  It was too short.  It just made me want […]

Any Boy But You by Julie Hammerle

Any Boy But You by Julie Hammerle

3 stars — I am pretty fussy with my enemies to lovers trope stories, and this one was okay, but hit some of my buttons that prevented it from being more than just okay.  Although I did stay up late reading it, so it was compelling! The problem with this one (for me) is that […]
