The New Kid in School

Let’s face it. Everyone has been the “new kid” before and everyone knows how much it royally sucks. You don’t have anyone to talk to, you sit by yourself at lunch for that first day, and of course everyone is looking at you like you have a second head attached that you somehow didn’t notice. […]

Review: Immortally Yours by Angie Fox

Review: Immortally Yours by Angie Fox

I am a complete and total sucker for books that have: A.) Zombies B.) Vampires C.) Mythology (as a whole) So imagine how cool I thought this book was going to be when I saw there was a sphinx, vampire, werewolf AND “gorgeous but stubborn demi-god” and some type of crazy “oracle”? Then you throw […]

Review: Love Unrehearsed by Tina Reber

Review: Love Unrehearsed by Tina Reber

“Love Unrehearsed” left me a tad confused emotionally. One side of me was so happy for Ryan and Taryn, but another side of me was sick off all the self-doubt, then another side of me had a lot of laughs. Hmm… Not only did this book leave me confused but somehow I have acquired a multiple […]

Review: The Dead and Buried by Kim Harrington

Really? So no one is going to say it? Nobody? Ok. Fine. If you all won’t say it I guess I will be the bad guy. I didn’t like “The Dead and Buried”. There, I said it. It’s out there into the infinite universe that is the internet. I waited patiently and eagerly for “The Dead and Buried”. […]

Review:Dinner with a Vampire by Abigail Gibbs

Review:Dinner with a Vampire by Abigail Gibbs

I have very mixed feelings about this book. On the one hand I seriously hated maybe the first 60% of it. Even though it starts with Violet witnessing a mass murder (vampires vs. slayers) the story really dragged for me. Chapters 2 through 30 was a complete and total bore to read, and even though […]
