The sequel to this book, Bones at the Crossroads, is about to be released, but I’m hoping there’s enough left here in this universe for at least a trilogy. Don’t get me wrong, there’s a lot in here, and I finished the book pretty satisfied in the departments of action, adventure, and getting to know... 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 →
Rebel by Marie Lu Book Review
I think about June Iparis and Daniel Wing all the time, as the simple June and Day of course. I read the Legend trilogy years ago. I really liked the first Legend and Prodigy turned into one of my favourite books of all time. I've only read it once but everything about it had me... Continue Reading →
Nothing More To Tell by Karen M. McManus Review
Another knockout from McManus. Okay, to tell you the truth, this book took me over a month to read. But I was finishing big projects and swamped with work. But Nothing More To Tell felt more like a friend to help me along than a chore. Brynn Gallagher has just landed an after-school gig with... Continue Reading →
Welcome To The Dark House by Laurie Faria Stolarz Book Review
Maybe books weren’t made to replicate the screenplays for horror movies. I now know Laurie Faria Stolarz has written a ton of other horror stories, but I guess this one is proof that it’s harder than you think to make a jump-scare book. The book grabbed my interest though when I read it a while... Continue Reading →
A Reaper At The Gates by Sabaa Tahir Book Review
I now look towards Sabaa Tahir’s series if I need inspiring on how to make the characters in my books frightened and truly “scarred”. A Reaper at the Gates is the third installment in the Ember in the Ashes series. And at the end of the last book, Laia of Serra was finally able to... Continue Reading →
A Torch Against The Night by Sabaa Tahir Book Review
I can't really pick which Ember in the Ashes book is my favourite, this one or the last one, but what I will say is this one is as sad and angry as its ending is absolute perfection. In my review of the last book, I said that young-adult books that follow the traditional dystopian... Continue Reading →
An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir Book Review
As Sabaa Tahir's final book in this spectacular series is out and I'm going to get it for Christmas, I wanted to upload my past reviews of her books leading up to A Sky Beyond The Storm. So, is this another YA dystopia? That's what I thought at first. But I got over it, almost... Continue Reading →
The Friend Scheme by Cale Dietrich Book Review
Cale Dietrich's first book, The Love Interest, was a wonderful surprise, a romance-thriller where every second counted. Its delicious pacing made it so I didn't mind it was a standalone, because it satisfied in every way I was hoping for and more. I've read it twice. I feel we should get that out of the...
