I have conflicting feelings about this book. I definitely liked it but it wasn’t at all what I was hoping it was going to be. After serving out a year of hard labor in the salt mines of Endovier for her crimes, 18-year-old assassin Celaena Sardothien is dragged before the Crown Prince. Prince Dorian offers…

The third book in Jackson Pearce’s Fairytale Retellings series, Fathomless focuses on The Little Mermaid version from the Brothers Grimm more than the Disney version most of us know and love. I like to think of this as the book that brings the series together, since it all comes full circle once you meet the…

I can’t really quantify why I like this books. I just do. When Jax and Sasha first see Jordan Ellis, they know she is no ordinary teenager. She’s the daughter of the President after all, but she’s also Anabo – a descendant of Eve. What they don’t know is that Eryx plans to kidnap Jordan…

When I reviewed The Girl of Fire and Thorns I called it “a Hunger Games for fantasy fans.” Not because it was an arena battle to the death with magic, but because it was an intense, page-turning, emotional adventure with an awesome heroine. And Crown of Embers does not disappoint in the slightest! In the…

Susan Dennard’s Something Strange and Deadly is a book that somehow manage to combine almost all of my favorite things: zombies, Victoriana, steampunk, spirits, and a plucky heroine and a smart boy.

All of us love Maggie Stiefvater. Well, all of us loved The Scorpio Races, especially me and Katie. And Christine has extolled the Mercy Falls series, Shiver, Linger, and Forever, as well. One week from today, The Raven Boys, the first installment of Maggie Stiefvater’s new series, The Raven Cycle, will finally be released into the wild….

When I first bought Anna Dressed in Blood last year, it was straight down to how pretty the cover was. Ghost stories where the ghosts are characters aren’t necessarily my thing because too often it’s either a Casper the Friendly Ghost situation or some truly evil Malevolent Spirit. Anna, though, was a fresh take on…

I read this book in April, so bear with me if I’ve forgotten things. Kami Glass loves someone she’s never met . . . a boy she’s talked to in her head ever since she was born. She wasn’t silent about her imaginary friend during her childhood, and is thus a bit of an outsider…

Before starting this book there is one very important fact you must know. Thankfully the wonderful Wendy warned me before I started Origin. Are you read? Yes, Pia has a pet jaguar. No, she never attempts to ride him. Pia has grown up in a secret laboratory hidden deep in the Amazon rain forest. She…
