Blog Tour- More Than Maybe, Erin Hahn
St. Martins and Wednesday Books reached out to me to see if I wanted to review this because I had also read “You’d Be Mine” this time last year and really dug it, so I was excited to read this one, and Hahn did not disappoint. I'm excited to be part of the blog tour.… Continue reading Blog Tour- More Than Maybe, Erin Hahn

Kallia has broken free from Jack and the life of performing at Hellfire House to enter a contest for the Conquering Circus.

Burn Our Bodies Down, Rory Power
I think the magic of this book is that the horror comes as a sneak attack. Everything seems as fine as it’s able for Margot. Her mother is distant, emotionally abuse, and she raises herself. But she wants a family, she wants to know where she came from. Then as she finds the freedom she’s… Continue reading Burn Our Bodies Down, Rory Power
Mayhem, Estelle Laure
The blurb and other reviewers are comparing this to The Lost Boys, something I’ve never seen. Perhaps I should watch the movie? But I think maybe because I hadn’t seen it that I enjoyed this more than others. Mayhem lived in a crappy situation at home, which has expanded into every other aspect of her… Continue reading Mayhem, Estelle Laure

Two friends want to lose their virginity before college so they can have it over and done with. Only, Meredith is the daughter of a preacher,… Continue reading The Anti-Virginity Pact, Katie Wismer
Two Short Reviews, Five Feet Apart and Aman: The Story of a Somali Girl
I recently read two books that I own in paperback. Five Feet Apart is one that I've had for a while but haven't gotten a chance to read and Aman, which I've owned for at least 15 years and have been meaning to review. Because both of these are short reviews, I've decided to combine… Continue reading Two Short Reviews, Five Feet Apart and Aman: The Story of a Somali Girl
Aftershocks, Phill Featherstone
I hadn’t read book one in this series, but I don’t feel like I missed out on anything. Though I want to go back and read book 1. The pacing was mixed on this for me. Sometimes portions of the book spent too much detail on Lander’s day to day. Then other times, he would… Continue reading Aftershocks, Phill Featherstone
The Upside of Falling, Alex Light
I confess I snagged this book solely because of the cover I spent some time reading reviews and people really didn’t love this one, and I don’t know, it’s cute once you get past the 10 car pile-up of cliches. I mean, wowzah! We start with the ultra-swoony descriptions of Brett, the football star, who… Continue reading The Upside of Falling, Alex Light
The Diseased Ones, Danielle Harrington
In the year 2647, humans do not show emotion. They don’t touch others outside of their family unit. They’re raised to serve the government, and upon their 16th birthday, they’re given a test for the biomarker that determines if they are a diseased one. Humans loathe the diseased ones, people who had powers fought… Continue reading The Diseased Ones, Danielle Harrington
