Death Marked by Leah Cypress

Death Marked by Leah Cypress

Tragic and enchanting. Star-marked I’m starting the review off with this: I started Death Sworn on Oct 5. I finished it the same day. I then immediately started Death Marked and finished it the same day. And now I’m writing the review and I’m an absolute mess. I shed a few tears for Sorin and Ilena when I realized this was a duology. Not exactly my proudest moment, but I’m absolutely stunned and heartbroken by the intricate weaving of Cypress’s storytelling about an assassin […]

Unleashed by Sophie Jordan

Unleashed by Sophie Jordan

Contempt over a needless romance unleashed. I gave Uninvited five stars last year, but after a while I wasn’t incredibly interested in the sequel for some strange reason. When I was sent a review copy, though, I picked it up because–well, I love the first book, so why not give the second a chance? Yeah, maybe I shouldn’t have really picked it up. It’s hard to introduce a new major player in a sequel and even more so when that new player turns […]

Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard

Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard

Blood is spilled. Hearts are crushed. I’m sorry, I can’t hear you over the whimpering state this book has left me in, and I’m afraid this review will be a bit rambly due to feels. Major case of the feels. I was probably one of the first ones to read this so I didn’t really have anything to be wary of. The synopsis sounded fascinating, the cover was sleek and gorgeous, and I’d been waiting on it for maybe six months before I […]

Bone Gap by Laura Ruby

Bone Gap by Laura Ruby

Gorgeous and intriguing–not a gap in my love for this book. Bee-utiful I didn’t expect to love Bone Gap. Yeah that seems weird, right? That I’d choose to read a book that I wasn’t very excited about 6 months before releases? There was something about Bone Gap that intrigued me though, and when I was scrolling through Edelweiss, I thought “Why not?” and downloaded it. And then I started reading it and fell in love with a story about faces and family and […]

Salt & Stone by Victoria Scott

Salt & Stone by Victoria Scott

Salt from my tears and cruel cruel stone heart of Victoria Scott Guys. Guys. Guys. Oh my dear sweet lord. There are so many emotions. So many.  Where do I even start with this review? After Fire & Flood’s catastrophic events and shocking plot twists, it’s hard to imagine that Scott could write a sequel packed with as many surprises without using her old tricks–but dear lord, she does. Salt & Stone is as stunning, if not more so, than it’s predecessor. It’s […]

A Wicked Thing by Rhiannon Thomas

A Wicked Thing by Rhiannon Thomas

  I think I first discovered this…April last year? I fell absolutely in love with the synopsis and I was unbelievably excited because continuance of Sleeping Beauty. And political intrigue! A high fantasy! Yes yes yes yes. Finally getting my hands on an ARC of this was a dream come true and suffice to say I pretty much dropped everything to read this. (And this is big because it was practically the week before midterms.) My feelings for this book are…mixed, but I’m pretty sure […]

I’ll Meet You There by Heather Demetrios

I’ll Meet You There by Heather Demetrios

I’ll meet you there with tears on my face because of this book. Holy shit the tears and the feels in this one. I couldn’t go five pages without having some sort of pang of emotion in my chest from something the characters did or said or felt. I’ll Meet You There is just a bundle of ups and downs tied up in a shiny package with an amazing cover. From the very first page, and I mean the very first page, you’re smacked […]
