Welcome to my weird world!
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 →
I read the first Serpent & Dove and devoured it. I gave it my highest grade, being one of the most fun reads in ages at the time. But Blood & Honey, despite having many similar elements, struggled to keep my attention the same way. The last Serpent & Dove was about a secret witch... Continue Reading →
How is it that after, how many is it, six different similar-themed young adult mystery thrillers, Karen M. McManus still finds ways to keep us excited for what's to happen and just relating to the heroes as easily as if they were our cousins? As much as One Of Us Is Next was a terrific...

I've been on a big hiatus from book reviewing, and I hope to finally really get back into it. I've missed it. And let's start with this review! I'm sad to say I was looking forward to the sequel and conclusion to the Gilded duology, from one of my favourite authors, and it really disappointed... Continue Reading →
This is one of those contemporary books with characters in a situation you come to learn is so frightening, yet lives in the truth, that you feel you owe it to yourself to look at other people like them and recognize the importance of respect. Especially when you imagine being on the flip side. Or... Continue Reading →
Definitely one of the most mixed experiences I've ever had with a book series, I admire Kendare Blake's Three Dark Crowns series as a whole, based on the three out of four books in the series I have read, but I also think you'd have to be a very patient and devoted reader to really...

Marissa Meyer is one of my favourite authors and probably always will be. I devoured her Lunar Chronicles books in their primetime and I can't decide if her Renegades series is better or not, but the day I revisit both series, I'm going to have a tense grin on my face. With this one it's... Continue Reading →
I always love a good dystopia. Especially in today's times, I feel I need someone to look up to who will take on the power-mad monsters and be out for blood. This fantastical world has two different nations; Astrea and Kalovaxia, and the people there call themselves Astreans and Kalovaxians. Straightforward, right? Yes. But ten... Continue Reading →
This should have been a bestseller. Deadfall is pure adrenaline rush as it tells a story that bounces between the past and present, in equally engaging stories of deceit, fear and heartpound. Ty and Cory Bic are very different but inseparable brothers. Cory is a closeted kid who loves cooking and video games, while Ty... Continue Reading →
Sarah Darer Littman has convinced me to give her a shot. Though I hope the next book I read from her is a little more hard-hitting, it's been a while since I've read a book where I can feel so easygoing and just enjoy myself. The plot of Deepfake is relatively simple; there are two... Continue Reading →
