I first heard of this novel from TikTok (@wtfaleisa) who talked about how this book sparked the 4B Movement in South Korea, which has since updated my algorithm to show me TikToks about the actual history of South and North Korea, and my continual growing hate of the United States. Moving on, I bought it […]
This could possibly be I read this during a stressful time (job interview and waiting to find out if I got it) but it was a little slow to get started and in the middle. Both Lucky and Maverick are adorable, as individuals and as a couple. Of course, Rebel stole the whole show, absolutely […]
When I first finished the book, I thought it was an enjoyable novel. It was an interesting story to focus on the Pied Piper child evacuations in WWII and a young girl going missing destroying multiple families and the village they were living in. Yet, the more I think about it, the less I like […]
I remember the day I was browsing the bookstore and came across Stalking Jack the Ripper. It was a recently released book—had been out for a week, maybe two—but I had never heard of it. I’m obsessed with the Jack the Ripper murders, as basic as it is to say, it’s the case that really […]
Before we get to the review I want to bring attention to a GoFundMe to save a family from Gaza and start again. Haya Murtaja and her two daughters, Sham and Maryam, have lost everything since the war. Her daughters have suffered a lot in the war, especially since they now live in a camp, […]
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 […]
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 […]

I’m not sure if I ever would’ve read this series if it wasn’t for the fact that I accidentally bought the first book twice. Last year, a group of my friends and I did a book exchange were you get a book each month and an extra one in your birthday month. We exchanged them […]
