This definitely wasn’t a favorite book of mine in general or for the year. But it was interesting to read right after the United States election. While I don’t currently live in a post-war world, the whole idea of loving a country that has never loved me the way I love it is certainly something […]
I guess when I first heard about this book I didn’t fully read the summary or something because what I read wasn’t what I was expecting. I thought this was going to be an origin story of Baba Yaga and how she became the ferocious, old hag who kidnaps and eats children. Or at least […]
I really thought this was going to be a five star read. It started out so well, Lennon’s life falling apart, the mysterious phone call, this mysterious campus that is hidden from all of Savannah. It had such potential! For starters, I did not like the Lennon and Dante relationship. Even before they got together, […]
Before we get to the review, I want to take a moment to feature a GoFundMe to help Reema from Gaza rebuild her dream. Reema was a 4th level pharmacy student and health educator who’s dreams were shattered by the horrors of war. Her university now lies in ruins from bombings. Her and her family […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
