Horrorstör by Grady Hendrix

Horrorstör by Grady Hendrix

I received a finished hardcover of Horrorstor from the publisher for review. This does not change the contents of my review or my opinion!  When I first heard about Horrorstor, I was fairly excited to read it. I mean, a horror novel set in an IKEA-like store! Five young employees being brought together! ILLUSTRATIONS! What […]

Jackaby by William Ritter

Jackaby by William Ritter

I must admit that the pretty cover drew me to this book, just look at that cover! Gorgeous, right? And when I read the synopsis, I KNEW I had to read this one. I mean, Doctor Who meets Sherlock?! I’d be crazy to pass that up! To get rid of the suspense, I am super pleased […]

Mortal Danger by Ann Aguirre

Mortal Danger by Ann Aguirre

I want to come clean about something before I start my Mortal Danger gushing review. You see I’m very lucky to receive an email from MacMillan every so often with their upcoming releases, and have free reign to pick which ARC’s I’d like to receive and review. It’s basically a book nerds wet dream to […]

I am constantly searching for the perfect unique contemporary and I’m happy to report that 100 Sideways Miles has made the list. 100 Sideways Miles is about a teen named Finn Easton and his particular knack for measuring time in distance. I sort of understand how he does it but I am no fan of math so […]

The Jewel by Amy Ewing

The Jewel by Amy Ewing

This was one of my most anticipated books from BEA and I am so sad about how it turned out. I remember seeing the cover for The Jewel for the 1st time on Tea Time and getting really excited and now, I’m just disappointed. The basic premise of this book is pretty simple. People of nobility […]

On the Fence by Kasie West

On the Fence by Kasie West

If you know me well, then you’d know that while I love my fair share of awesome action-packed stories, I also love cute summer reads. And On the Fence is probably one of the cutest books I’ve read this summer. Having grown up with three brothers and only her dad, she doesn’t really know anything about […]
