Book Review: The Patient by Jasper DeWitt

My thoughts: I was excited to read this book due to the hype I’ve seen on social media. The story started off strong and held my attention, but slowly it took a turn for the unbelievable. There is a supernatural element to this story and honestly I felt it ruined the story line. I do like books with supernatural elements, […]

Book Review: Super Fake Love Song by David Yoon

Thank you to Bookish First for my review copy. My thoughts: This was my first time reading this author and it wasn’t a bad read, but something about this story just didn’t grab me and I couldn’t connect to the story the way I wanted. The way Sunny treated his friends after they went along with his lie when they […]

Book Review: Bound By Shadows by Kathy Lyons

My thoughts: So I’ve been in a dreaded book slump. I’ve started and stopped three different books this week and couldn’t finish not a one. I decided to read this book just for fun and it did the trick. I finished this book in ONE day. I can’t tell you the last time I read a book in a day. […]

Book Review: Happily Letter After by Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward.

My thoughts: This plot was unique which made it a refreshing read. I loved the connection that Sadie and Birdie had in this story. I think my issue in this story was Sebastian. I didn’t really care for him if I’m being honest. As expected there is a twist that I didn’t see coming and I liked the way it […]

Book Review: Goodnight Beautiful by Aimee Molloy.

Thank you to Harper Books for my review copy. The book is told in three parts with alternating points of views. The first part of the book was really good and I didn’t expect that twist at all. The second part lost tons of momentum for me, but I wanted to power through it and see how it all unfolded. […]

New Release+Review: One Exquisite Touch by Lauren Blakely

*ARC Review* My thoughts: This has got to be one of Lauren Blakely’s steamiest books to date!! The sexual chemistry between Cole and Sage was off the charts hot to begin with and then you add the fact that they are rivals and it gets even hotter! I love how Sage explores her sexual side in this story and isn’t […]

Book Review: Legendborn by Tracy Deonn

Thank you to NetGalley and Margaret K. McElderry Books for the advance review copy. My thoughts: Not going to lie Bree worked my last nerve in this book. Then I had to remind myself she’s 16 and give her a pass. The pacing of the story could have been better as it did stall at times. The action scenes especially towards […]

Book Review: These Vengeful Hearts by Katherine Laurin

Thank you to NetGalley and Inkyard Press for my audio review copy. My thoughts: The way this book was set up I was expecting a really dark story and sadly this book didn’t deliver. It was plain, dull and at times predictable. I wanted more of the secret society aspect and less of the teenage growing pains and angst. The […]
