Before we get to the review, I want to take a moment to feature a GoFundMe on distributing food and medicine to Palestinians in Gaza. Abedelsalam S Abu Halima is a 23-year-old Palestinian who was born and raised in Gaza. While he and his family are enduring the hardships of the Israeli occupation, they are […]
I was so excited to get my hands on this book. For the most part, I really enjoyed the novel. It mostly fell flat for me at the end. First off, the set up of the novel was so well-done. I loved the back and forth between present day and the Harry and Javier past […]
Adrienne Young brings an ethereal story with unforgettable characters. I loved the story, characters, and mystery. The opening of the book truly brings you in to the atmosphere. The line “put me to sleep with the fiddle at sunset,” felt so raw and made me want to continue reading. The story immediately introduces us to […]
I’m pretty sure I heard about this book on Instagram and proceeded to immediately pre-order it. Wow! I am blown away by the beautiful writing and wonderful characters that Victoria Mier brought to life. One tiny thing I will bring up is that it did take a minute to get into the story. It was […]
Before starting on the review for the book, I have to admit that I’m not a fan of The Bachelor/ette, Bachelor in Paradise, or any of it’s many other spin-offs. I’ve watched a season of the Bachelor (or maybe the Bachelorette) and a season of Bachelor in Paradise. It contained a lot of what is […]
In the review for Ninth House, I start off by talking about the difficulty I have with Leigh Bardugo’s writing at times. With Hell Bent, we’re definitely back on rockier shores. This is not to say that Bardugo is not an amazing and creative writer because she is, it’s just that for me, Hell Bent […]
So, most of you probably know my journey with Leigh Bardugo hasn’t been smooth sailing. I took an immediate dislike to Shadow and Bone, so much so that I vowed to never read anything written by her again. Well, that obviously didn’t stick. My friends finally convinced me to watch the show, and then I […]
In the Hour of Crows was such a fantastical, mysterious book set in the Appalachia region of Georgia. Such a deep novel of a young woman trying to live after tragedy strikes. While I read the summary and knew what to expect for the novel, I was a bit thrown that there wasn’t a romance […]
It was only about 20 pages in when I started thinking up designs for a tattoo for this book! (For anyone curious, I’m thinking old fashioned tea cup with the Spindrift logo on it). I loved everything about this book! The characters, the relationships, the plot, the atmosphere. I obviously could go on and on. […]
I thoroughly enjoyed this book! It was a fun and adventurous fantasy romance with an interesting backdrop of Norse mythology. While I did enjoy the book, there were a few things that either bothered me or were predictable. The parts that were bothersome is when the characters would cuss at each other. Now, I’m not […]
