Sick by Tom Leveen

Sick by Tom Leveen

Ugh! Who knew a book about zombies could be so BORING?! Seriously! Even when the shit started to hit the fan and the action started I was STILL bored!   I think I’ll lay blame, partially, on the back of the book which says: “The Breakfast Club meets The Walking Dead as a deadly virus […]

Unbreathable by Hafsah Laziaf

First, a word to the author, Hafsah. I respect and admire how brave you were when it came to trusting us, those who are close to you, with reading and JUDGING your baby, Unbreathable.

Reboot by Amy Tintera

Reboot by Amy Tintera

I was really, really, REALLY excited to read Reboot. In fact I was so excited, I forever changed how I was going to read and review my “What Should I Read Next” poll winners. And even though I truly wanted to loved this book, I found myself walking away with my super disappointed face. I’m […]

The Archived by Victoria Schwab

The Archived by Victoria Schwab

The Archived by Victoria Schwab was one of those books I was sure I would love. It just seemed natural. My bookish twins enjoyed it, the premise was promising, and the reviews (from those I trust) were all awe-inspiring. But it just didn’t work for me. Which irks my flipping soul because I REALLY wanted […]

Born of Illusion by Teri Brown

Born of Illusion by Teri Brown

I had such hope for Born of Illusion! With its interesting and unique premise and it’s drool worthy cover! Add in the fact that this book is set in the roaring 20’s and it should have been an easily enjoyable read. But it wasn’t. And I’m so lost on how a story with so much […]

The Sweetest Dark by Shana Abe

The Sweetest Dark by Shana Abe

So you know how I’ve been ranting on twitter about the complete lack of originality in today’s fiction? What do you mean you don’t follow me on twitter?! Of course you do! I mean, why wouldn’t you like to get constant awesome 140 charter length treats from me throughout the day? Anywho, I was ranting […]

The Art of Wishing by Lindsay Ribar

The Art of Wishing by Lindsay Ribar

Alright so technically this will not be a review. This will be more of me hoping that I’ve proved my worth and that you shall believe me when I say, yes the book was good, yes you should buy it, and yes I laughed….A LOT, but most importantly there is a GENIE! So umm go […]
