What’s better than watching anime? Reading a book that reads like an anime! Because reading is fun, kids. I’ve wanted to read Shadow of the Fox since it came out and I learned that it was full of Japanese lore and culture. Mostly because I’m both a simple person and an anime fan, so really, […]
This book was just … wow. I loved it as much as I disliked it, and I’m just all sorts of conflicted. I also immediately checked out the sequel as soon as I finished reading this, and I can’t wait to start it, so there’s that. All in all, this was a really hard one […]
I picked this up after reading Paper Fury’s review, because this sounded right up my alley … and I was not disappointed! You know, I keep saying I really don’t read romance, and then I read romance and enjoy it? So I’m thinking maybe I don’t read so much adult romance? I don’t know. I’m all sorts […]
I knew from the moment I read the description that I would either love or hate In the Night Wood and there would be no in-betweens … and I kind of loved it? So I’m calling this one a win. The book seemed to deliver everything that I had expected from the blurb: a pervasive eerie […]
I want to start this out with something that I think is the most important thing to say about this book, before I even begin: I DO NOT FEEL THIS IS NOT A YA BOOK. Parents, please don’t give this book to your younger teens without first being educated on the content and knowing what […]
I’ve heard some mixed reviews about this one and wasn’t quite sure what to expect going in, but guys … I loved it! This book has all the things that I typically look for in a high fantasy: ✦ Myths, legends, or prophecies in world-building ✦ A strong female lead (or two in this case?) […]
The book has a talking sword, okay? It says so right in the summary. We all knew I was going to pick it up. Shadow Magic is available on Kindle Unlimited and is the first in the Darkling Mage series. It’s full of snarky characters, magic, old Gods, and a sinister mystery that remains to […]
Being born and raised in New York (upstate, not the city, thank you), I couldn’t resist the idea of a book being set in Old New York. I mean, there’s also the whole idea of magic, heists, betrayal, and time travel, which only makes it better in my opinion. Hard to go wrong with that. […]
Having just spent a week participating in the Bout of Books read-a-thon … I have books to review! Surprise! Probably not much of a surprise, but hey, it’s the thought that counts, right? I only ended up reading four out of the seven books I had lined up, but that’s more than I expected to, so […]
Wish Our Hearts Away is a coming-of-age book with a really unique twist on the age-old adage of “be careful what you wish for.” I’m not just saying that because I know the author, even though I do. Which you should know before I get into it, although it’s not influenced my review at all. […]
