Book Review: Bloodstone by M.J. Mallon
My Rating: 4 out of 5 stars Bloodstone is the first in M.J. Mallon’s The Curse of Time series and follows Amelina Scott as she navigates the unfortunate circumstances surrounding her family and the strange occurrences that befall her. Clearly an outcast even amongst her friends, Amelina is an incredible artist and drummer, though the…
Read MoreBook Review: Runaways
My Rating: 4 out of 5 stars Etta Grace has crafted a story that not only brought me to my mind’s attic and took me on a trip down memory lane, but a novel that is heartwarming, refreshing, and gripping. I won’t bore you with my own reminiscing that Runaways inspired, though I will say…
Read MoreBook Review: Sunrise on the Reaping
It’s probably not a surprise given my recent review for Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes that Sunrise on the Reaping will follow in its wake as another 5-star read from the world of Panem. I completely devoured this book in spite of how much it wrenched my heart, and like most of my reviews, I’ll…
Read MoreBook Review: Wings of Starlight
Wings of Starlight is easily my favorite read so far this year. It’s cozy and sweet and heartwarming…but it also was emotionally charged and at times made me tear up. Yes, there were times when I even wanted to throw the book across the room or put it in timeout.
Read MoreWicked: The Life & Times of the Wicked Witch of the West (Wicked Years 1) by Gregory Maguire
Assistant to the Villain is a fun, quirky fantasy novel set in a modern-esque world straight out of a fairytale story. Full of vibrant characters, Maehrer offers readers a kind-hearted FMC that is at times painfully relatable and a villain for a love interest who is simply dashing.

Read MoreBook Review: THE BALLAD OF SONGBIRDS AND SNAKES
My Rating: 5 out of 5 stars Let me start off by saying that I put reading this book off since its release because reading is an escape and Panem highlights the worst of our society and our fears. Basically, I was afraid of reading something that was grounded too much in “the real world”…

Read MoreBook Review: Changeling by Arista Holmes
From the very first page all the way through the closing pages, Arista Holmes tugged at not only my heartstrings but my intrigue as well. Guiding readers through a well-developed world, main characters Lizzy, Booker, and Andric have an interesting dynamic that kept me on my toes almost as much as the twists woven into the plot as they searched for Lizzy’s mother.
Read MoreBook Review: A Rival Most Vial by R.K. Ashwick
Quirky, entertaining, and most importantly, full of lovable characters that had me turning the page and wanting to stay up to binge read it, Ashwick has wholly delivered a cozy fantasy romance.
