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 […]

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) […]
