It's been a while since I've published any reviews. Looking forward to getting back in the game! Like a warm cup of Mexican hot chocolate with a generous dose of cinnamon and cayenne, Cemetery Boys is a treat for the soul with a love for its culture and subject matter. It’s like Coco crossed with... Continue Reading →
Freaks by Brett Riley Book Review
I sometimes think back to appreciate Josh Trank’s Chronicle movie from 2012, which has a very similar feeling to Freaks. I wish Trank was still making movies, I think he will forever have potential. The movie was an anti-hero sort of story about teenagers who get powers that allow them to get a step up... Continue Reading →
The Demon Tide by Laurie Forest Book Review
This is the fourth book in the Black Witch series by Laurie Forest, its fifth and final book being released a few months ago. My relationship with this series is interesting. I picked up the first book with hesitancy - and then it skyrocketed to one of my favourite books of all time. I hadn’t... Continue Reading →
The Last Boyfriends Rules For Revenge by Matthew Hubbard Book Review
If we have more books like this for people to fawn over and delight with, we will be having a future generation of considerate, loving and intelligent kids. No wonder book bans are so big right now. There are three boys in this cover, but the narrator is the one in the jersey, Ezra Miller.... Continue Reading →
Here’s To Us by Becky Albertalli and Adam Silvera Book Review
Let me put this out there first; everyone in this book is a sweetheart. So if you are looking for a very down-to-earth book, this is it. But of course read What If It’s Us first. But then you might need a breather before this one. Cause these are loooooong romance books. Two years ago,... Continue Reading →
Girls Like Girls by Hayley Kiyoko Book Review
Hayley Kiyoko’s fans refer to her as Lesbian Jesus, and considering how down-to-earth this book of hers is, plus the simply good and proud vibes I get from her whenever I see her on screen, I might really have been missing out. Nine years ago, Kiyoko made a song with the same name, plus a... Continue Reading →
Darkhearts by James L. Sutter Book Review
Maybe I just wasn’t in the mood for this book. Because everything in me feels that I should’ve loved this story with all my heart. And yet something just didn’t work for me, and whatever that was, it really messed with the rest of my experience. So, to start my review of Darkhearts, here’s the... Continue Reading →
Pride & Prejudice & Pittsburgh Book Review
I got exactly what I wanted out of this book, something I haven’t had much of lately. And even if I did have some recent satisfying reads, which, again, I haven’t, I’m sure Pride & Prejudice & Pittsburgh would’ve still stood out. Audrey Cameron is a teen from Pittsburgh who has dreams of going to... Continue Reading →
Aristotle & Dante Dive Into The Waters Of The World by Benjamin Alire Saenz Book Review
I read the first Aristotle & Dante seven years ago right when I was starting college, and though I could see the appeal that made it an instant beloved classic, I remember I was in a very rough time when reading and that may have really diluted my enjoyment. My first boyfriend and I had... Continue Reading →
Under The Whispering Door by TJ Klune Book Review
This is the second book I've read from TJ Klune, after I got through his Cerulean Sea book about a year ago and took this long to end my breather from him. I don't know about his YA reads (which I really should look into) but his adult reads are generally heavy that can equally... Continue Reading →
