Title: The Devouring GrayAuthor: Christine Lynn HermanPublication Date: April 2, 2019Publisher: Disney HyperionFormat: Netgalley eARC Goodreads Amazon Book Depository This book opens with the Five of Bones, which is a skeletal hand reaching out towards the reader. And if that’s not the best way to start a book, I don’t know what is. I mean, that […]
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, […]
Remember when I read The Star-Touched Queen and I enjoyed everything except the plot? Welp, A Crown of Wishes resolved that issue, and in the end, I straight-up loved it. The book both wrapped up nicely, yet still left me wanting more. Much, much more. Soap opera, style, maybe, because reality TV has nothing on Gauri and Vikram, okay? I […]
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 […]
Title: The Dark Descent of Elizabeth Frankenstein Author: Kiersten White Publication Date: September 25, 2018 Publisher: Delacorte Press Genre: Young Adult, Historical, Horror Goodreads Amazon Book Depository I should probably preface this by saying that I read Frankenstein once upon a time, but … I don’t remember any of it. Well, except Frankenstein is actually […]
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 […]
It’s no secret that I’ve been a fan of YA since the day I accidentally stumbled on it as a wee, innocent (*ish) child. *I’d say I was innocent, but my mother begs to differ, so I’ve split the difference. See? I’m not completely unreasonable. I thought I knew the Young Adult genre pretty well, […]
Let’s be honest: everyone knows Cait, a.k.a. PaperFury, a.k.a. C.G. Drews (she needs a lot of aliases because only boring people have just one). But did you know she did this really crazy thing called writing a book? It’s basically pulling a story out of thin air. Almost like magic, but with 100% less glitz and […]
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 author had me at necromancy. Because I am horribly predictable and easy. As a reader, obviously. Did I mention the main character also dies in the first chapter? Talk about grabbing your attention. Caitlin Seal presents a world where the dead have a second chance at life … and thankfully, they’re not zombies. Because […]
