Review: Ashfall by Mike Mullin

Review: Ashfall by Mike Mullin

Ashfall did crazy and unpredictable things to my brain. I heard nothing but great things about the book before I read it so I expected it to be good, I expected it to be different, I expected it to leave me wanting more. I didn’t expect for my emotions to be out of whack. And […]

Review: Lust by T.C. Anthony

Review: Lust by T.C. Anthony

I read the blurb for Three Stages of Love: Lust on NetGalley and just knew that this would be the perfect “first request” I submitted. Here you have two extremely successful people trying to get over their issues as a couple, who also happen to have some pretty steamy scenes along the way. This should have been an easy yet enjoyable […]

Bared to You by Sylvia Day

Bared to You by Sylvia Day

You know that feeling you get when you’re reading a book and it is so good you don’t want to put it down but you also don’t want it to end? That was me the entire time that “Bared to You” was in my hands. I started the book right before bed thinking “three chapters […]

Valkyrie Rising by Ingrid Paulson

Valkyrie Rising by Ingrid Paulson

I went into “Valkyrie Rising” with absolutely NO knowledge of what a Valkyrie even was. In fact the most I know about Norway is that it’s cold most of the time (strike one in my eyes). However I’m a sucker for a pretty cover and a nice blurb and “Valkyrie Rising” had both. Now don’t you go judging me. I […]

Sanctum by Sarah Fine

Sanctum by Sarah Fine

I originally gave “Sanctum” four stars and after thinking about it I have decided I must have been delusional. “Sanctum” is the story of Lela, who literally goes to hell to free her best friend Nadia who committed suicide. That right there put the book at a disadvantage for me. It may sound selfish but […]

The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater

The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater

So I have a small confession to make. I added this book to my TBR shelf on Goodreads just because of the cover. Yes, it’s true. I, the awesomeness behind Read, Sleep, Repeat, am a cover whore. To be completely honest birds of all kinds really freak me out, so when I saw this cover […]

Gunmetal Magic Ilona Andrews

Gunmetal Magic Ilona Andrews

Before I go all “balls to the wall” on this review let me explain something really quick. This is my first introduction to the world of Ms. Andrea Nash. Keep that in mind now. Moving on. Gunmetal Magic was the kind of book that hit the ground running, right through a brick wall. I get […]

Unspoken Sarah Rees Brennan

Unspoken Sarah Rees Brennan

Before you start with all the cussing and yelling at me for giving this book a low rating please hear me out. Unspoken was a book I literally counted down the days to. I wanted this book almost as bad as Onyx (and believe me I had an actual timer on my phones home screen for that one) […]

Wicked Nights by Gena Showalter

Wicked Nights by Gena Showalter

Apparently I am one of the few people who have not read Gena’s Lords of the Underworld series, and after reading Wicked Nights I can see that I have completely deprived myself of here genius. Zacharel was one of those creamsicle popsicles I use to love as a kid. Hard and cold on the outside but soft and […]
