Seeking help from Nathaniel Thorn, a sorcerer, and his demonic servant Silas, they find themselves in the midst of a century-long conspiracy that threatens the Great Libraries, and ultimately, the world. They attempt to seek the truth together, but everything Elisabeth knows ...

REVIEW: Four Dead Queens
In a palace ruled by four queens (one for each quadrant of the kingdom), an assassin is taking out the queens one by one. Veiled in mystery and intrigue, this story of multiple POVs follows each queen leading up to her death, while also divulging the secrets each of them kept, and also follows our unsavory anti-heroine, Keralie. The chapters of Keralie that ran parallel to that of the murdered queens were quite boring to me. Keralie was a problematic ...

It's been a while since I've written an actual review, hasn't it? I've got some reviews on the back-burner that I need to let out into the world, and hopefully change someone's life. Hey, I've got high hopes! I've yielded to making smaller reviews for books that I haven't received from NetGalley or Edelweiss, or from an author straight up. I still want to review all the books I read, whether they are short and sweet, or have a little more length and depth to them. ...
View More5 Reasons Why You Should Listen to the Aurora Rising Audiobook
I am definitely no audiobook connoisseur, but over the past year, I've listened to more audiobooks than I've ever listened to in my life. (Okay, that's still not many.) They've mostly been Harry Potter audiobooks, since I'm trying to re-read the series with my ears, but then I decided to take a chance on the Aurora Rising audiobook because someone said it was amazing. Best. Decision. Ever. I know I've already provided you a review of Aurora Rising (read the review ...

I received a copy of this book via NetGalley (thank you!) in exchange for my honest review. Let me start off by saying that I'd never read an Amie Kaufman of Jay Kristoff book until I requested this one off of NetGalley. (Thank you SO MUCH for letting me review this book, by the way!) I'd heard so much about them, and how they were a great writing duo, but I'd just never took action to pick up one of their books. (It was my loss, really.) So I requested this, ...

I received a copy of this book via NetGalley (thank you!) in exchange for my honest review. I've been extremely lucky with most of the books I've been reading this year so far. A lot of them are SUPER good, and this gem was no exception! I knew two things when I requested this book on NetGalley. One, the cover was literally to die for. Two, it was a retelling of the Twelve Dancing Princesses fairytale. I also did not know two things. One, I did not know how the ...

I received a copy of this book via NetGalley (thank you!) in exchange for my honest review. Some of my contemporary picks at the end of 2018 were a tad disappointing, so I was beyond relieved when this book – that I decided to take a leap of faith with and request on NetGalley – was a super-fantastic-delightful gem infused with horror and banter and pancakes. Yes, pancakes~ Sometimes small and unspectacular things can be a universe. Where do I begin with ...

It's time for a couple of mini reviews. I read Far Far Away and A Different Blue through the majority of February (I finished Blue at the beginning of March). Far Far Away was my Backlist pick for the month of January, but I didn't get to it until February (oops) and A Different Blue was my Backlist pick for February! (The Backlist Project is my own personal journey of reading through the books on my Goodreads TBR that were published before the current year ... so ...
View MoreARC REVIEW: Just for Clicks
I received a copy of this book via NetGalley (thank you!) in exchange for my honest review. This book, guys. It was really good. Just for Clicks is about fraternal twins, Poppy and Claire and the way their mom's fashion and lifestyle blog has molded their lives and how they deal with being internet famous. But this is Claire's story, and Claire's story alone. Claire is unlike her sister in many ways – where Poppy is all about the fashion and internet fame, and ...
