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 […]

Audrey, Wait! by Robin Benway

Audrey, Wait! by Robin Benway

This review was originally written for my library’s blog, you can check out it’s original posting here! When Audrey Cuttler dumps her boyfriend Evan, self-involved jerk and lead singer of a band called The Do-Gooders, she never expected him to write a song about their breakup. And she definitely never expected it to get popular. […]

In the Shadows by Kiersten White and Jim Di Bartolo

In the Shadows by Kiersten White and Jim Di Bartolo

I have no words to even begin describing the awesomeness that is In the Shadows. I don’t think I can even properly describe the plot without saying too much. I want everyone to go into this completely blind, like I did, because it’s much more enjoyable that way. But alas, I should probably tell you something […]

The Young World by Chris Weitz

The Young World by Chris Weitz

I read in phases. Currently, I’m on what I call a contemporary craze but I was once upon a time, obsessed with post-apocalypse. So when I heard about The Young World, my old need to read these types of books came flourishing back. My mind: OMFG NO ADULTS?! DISEASE?! OMFG, I NEED THIS BOOK LIKE NNNNNOOOOOOOWWWW! Sufficient […]

Open Road Summer by Emery Lord

Open Road Summer by Emery Lord

I’m sure you’ve all heard about Open Road Summer and it’s awesomeness (a.k.a Matt Finch). Well, I am here to confirm that the rumours are true! Open Road Summer is indeed, a great summer novel with one of the swooniest love-interests. For those too lazy to read the synopsis (which always includes myself), Open Road Summer centres around Reagan […]

Unremembered by Jessica Brody

Unremembered by Jessica Brody

I received a paperback of Unremembered in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect the content of my review.  I have wanted to start this series for so long but it wasn’t until Unremembered was optioned for a movie that I finally had a chance to read it. And boy, am I glad I […]

Otherbound by Corinne Duyvis

Otherbound by Corinne Duyvis

When I first heard about Otherbound,  I knew I had to request it. A LGBT book with awesome fantasy elements? Sign me up! Nolan, our main character, is a teenager who enters the mind of Amara, a young servant in a mythical land, every time he closes his eyes. Of course, Amara slowly figures out what is happening […]
