Order of Dust, Nicholas J. Evans
Some of us have certain ideas of where we go when we die, but the truth of it is, we don’t know. I liked the take of being able to get revenge on the one who was responsible for your death. If I’ve learned anything from books and movies, hate simmers long after your death.… Continue reading Order of Dust, Nicholas J. Evans
The Bright Fish, James Ward
I was glad I checked the genre and reviews before starting this because the blurb makes this sound like it’s just a bizarre mystery. The genre says metaphysical, and that isn’t quite apt. It should be in the paranormal and fantasy sections. That being said, if you go on reading with that in mind, you… Continue reading The Bright Fish, James Ward

Even if We Break, Marieke Nijkamp
I requested this one from Sourcebooks Fire because the blurb had me hooked. Who doesn’t want to see how a bunch of teens in the face of their secrets exposed? I hadn’t read Nijkamp before, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. The cast of characters is inclusive, and while I think there’s good representation,… Continue reading Even if We Break, Marieke Nijkamp
City of York, A. Person
Person was kind enough to send me a paperback copy of City of York and the photo of the cover doesn’t do it justice. It’s absolutely stunning. To me, this book is the groundwork for what is coming, so you don’t feel the story right off. It was around the halfway mark that I got… Continue reading City of York, A. Person
Crush (Rebel Academy), Rosemary Johns
“...monsters deserved love too.” You need to start at book 1 with this reverse harem, Rebel Academy, where no one comes out a winner; if they come out at all. Here, the Immortals have won the Rebel Cup. But the win comes with a price. Of course, it does. This isn’t your typical reform school.… Continue reading Crush (Rebel Academy), Rosemary Johns

As the month’s pass, the two have something very touching and intimate in their daily texts… Continue reading Well Played, Jen DeLuca
Sunday Favorites-Children’s and YA
I'm not going to label these 1-5 like I did my last favorites list. It's hard trying to figure out which book should be in each position. The whole idea of favorites is a bit moot for readers anyway, because book lovers cannot pick favs. That's just science. But these books are amongst the ones… Continue reading Sunday Favorites-Children’s and YA
