Book Review: Not Like Other Girls

Not Like Other Girlsby Meredith AdamoRATING: Jo is not like other girls. At least, she’s told that she’s not and she believes it. And in some ways, she’s not — she’s Jo — but she’s also just a teenage girl. Part mystery, part first love, part coming of age, part healing journey, part broken friendships,

Book Review: Specular (Scion Saga, Book 3)

Specular (Scion Saga, Book 3)by Calix Leigh-ReignRATING: ⭐️⭐️✨ The Descendants have grownup a bit and big changes are on the horizon in this third book in the Scion Saga. The pacing in the first half of the book felt a little slow, and I would have liked to see a bit more tension building for

Book Review: Found

Foundby Gabby SkeldonRATING: This was a fun, newly discovered author to me. First things first, the cover: TO DIE FOR. I love it. Second, I love Merlin retellings, and I really enjoyed the twist this story took away from other retellings and Merlin-esque stories. As a new-adult novel, this book did not hit the marks

Book Review: Split Adam

Split Adam (Scion Saga, Book 2)by Calix Leigh-ReignRATING: ⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ Adam and Carly are back in book 2 of the Scion Saga, Split Adam, by Calix Leigh-Reign.

Book Review: Omens Bite

Omens Bite Book 2: Sisters of Salem Seriesby Kristen & P.C CastRATING: I definitely preferred Omens Bite to book 1, Spells Trouble.

Book Review: Spells Trouble

Spells Trouble Book 1: Sisters of Salem Seriesby Kristen & P.C CastRATING: Cover is beautiful. This was a slow start. I’m not sure if it’s because I’m older reading these, but these girls did not feel like they were in high school. The language felt more middle grade to me; however, there are scenes in

Book Review: You Truly Assumed

Your Truly Assumedby Laila SabreenRATING: *I received a free ebook copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.* What do a ballerina, an artist, and a techie have in common?

Book Review: Shattered Midnight

Shattered Midnightby Dhonielle ClaytonRATING: *I received a free ebook copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.* I went out and purchased Broken Wish, because I definitely overlooked this as a series when I first chose to read it. First off, I’m glad I read Broken Wish first

Book Review: Broken Wish

Broken Wishby Julie C. DaoRATING: I went out and purchased Broken Wish because I came across the second book in this series, Shattered Midnight, on NetGalley and I was intrigued. After reading, and then moving on to Shattered Midnight, you can read these novels as stand-alones since they take place generations apart from each other.
