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 […]

White Trash Beautiful by Teresa Mummert

White Trash Beautiful by Teresa Mummert

  *NOTE: this review is not for the easily disturbed.* I know for a fact that most people who read this story will walk away with tears in their eyes and hope in their hearts. Sadly I’m not one of them.   Domestic abuse, drug abuse, poverty, co-dependency and abandonment are just a few of […]

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 […]

I mean, why wouldn’t you like to get constant awesome 140 charter length treats from me throughout the day? Anywho, I was ranting […]

Review: Anna Dressed in Blood by Kendare Blake

Review: Anna Dressed in Blood by Kendare Blake

I truly and honestly do not have a vocabulary large enough to tell you how unbelievably amazing, gripping, detailed and entertaining Anna Dressed in Blood was. To be honest I sort of want to fill this review with a bunch of crazy “Oh my gosh!” gifs and keep repeating the word awesome. It was just […]

Review: The Selection by Kiera Cass

Review: The Selection by Kiera Cass

So I originally had this long ranty, all over the place review written up for this book, but I just couldn’t properly portray my feelings properly. Then I had a fantastic idea! Do a video review! What better way to express my feelings than by sitting down and talking to you all about this book! […]
