Thoughts: The His Fair Assassin series has become one of my favorites. It has made me question my belief that I don’t like historical fiction, plus the first two books both have a ton of heart and plenty of swoon. I was nervous and excited for Mortal Heart because it is about Annith, in […]
These Broken Stars by Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner
Thoughts: I read this book in January before I started student teaching, so this will be a quick review. Still, I wanted to make sure I reviewed it because I enjoyed it. It’s different and entertaining, although not perfect nor everything I hoped it would be. There are plenty of things to like about These Broken Stars. […]
Review: Magic Marks the Spot by Caroline Carlson
Thoughts: Hilary is a high society girl who just wants to be a pirate. To some extent, that made this book a comedy of manners. In fact, not only is Hilary a very polite pirate but the main story line is about finding the magic that was taken away because the person in charge […]
Bloggers Dressed In Blood Review: Vicious by V.E. Schwabb
Thoughts: Vicious is a super-villain origin story. Kind of. Schwabb uses the story to challenge our assumptions of what makes someone a villain or a hero. Eli Ever is called a hero, but he uses his ExtraOrdinary ability to hunt down other EOs (people with special powers) and kill them. He had some really interesting […]
Find Me by Romily Bernard
Thoughts: Of all the ARCs that I picked up at BEA, Find Me was my most anticipated. Hackers, foster kids, sisters, a serial killer, and a mystery? It sounded perfect for me. And it was. First, you should know going in that this isn’t really a serial killer book. Tessa actually kills herself after an abusive […]
Wild Cards by Simone Elkeles
Thoughts: I love dual-POV romances between characters with Issues (capital I is not a typo). Simone Elkeles is great at this and her new one, Wild Cards, does not disappoint. For me, the characters always make the book, and in romance this is especially important. Luckily, I loved these characters. I loved that Derek gets […]
The Dream Thieves by Maggie Stiefvater
If you haven’t started this series: Feel free to read my review of The Raven Boys. Both books have the same atmospheric prose and a deliciously slow journey toward something you really don’t want to happen. What you need to know going in is that while each book has it’s own plot, they don’t […]
Blaze (Or Love In the Time of Supervillains) by Laurie Boyle Crompton
Thoughts: The back of the book I read has very different copy than the GoodReads description and I thought this was going to be a fun story about a girl who gets her heart broken and then gets revenge. Halfway through the book, I was confused, because she hadn’t had her heart broken, although she was […]
The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater
The Scorpio Races is my favorite book that I’ve read so far in 2012 (and one of my all-time favorites), so Maggie’s new book has been my most anticipated book EVER (except maybe Harry Potter). I got an ARC at BEA in June, but was terrified to read it. I had so many expectations. When I finally […]
