Book Review: Daughter of the Pirate King by Tricia Levenseller
I love a good pirate story, but I find that they’re not too common. I was certainly intrigued by Daughter of the Pirate King when I first heard about it, but didn’t pick it up until my pal Asha lent it to me. She said it had pirates, adventures, and kissing — what more do… Continue reading

Book Review: The Caged Queen by Kristen Ciccarelli
I was so thrilled to get my hands on a copy of The Caged Queen. I liked Ciccarelli’s debut, The Last Namsara, but had some trouble with the romance. The sequel picks up the story where The Last Namsara left off, but follows a new character and a new love interest, so I was definitely… Continue reading

Book Review: These Rebel Waves by Sara Raasch
I had been hearing a lot of buzz around this book and was so excited to read it. I love a fun pirate book and These Rebel Waves sounded like it was exactly what I wanted. Then, I began to hear mixed reviews as proofs were released into the world. I was given a couple… Continue reading

Book Review: Tarnished City by Vic James
I recently read Gilded Cage and while I wasn’t hugely impressed by the beginning, the story really picked up and it had an incredible ending. I had a feeling that the plot would continue to stay strong through the sequel, and I was right. Tarnished City is a thrilling, fast-paced read that will have you… Continue reading

I love a Brandon Sanderson novella. Whether his stories are long or short, he always manages to deliver a solid book with his classic style of ending. I have really only read fantasy from him and was very interested to see what his science fiction stories are like.v Continue reading

Book Review: Godsgrave by Jay Kristoff
There is always a danger in reading sequels to book you love. Will they be as good? Will the dreaded Second Book Syndrome strike? You never know until you give the book a try. For me, I figured there was no way Godsgrave could hold a candle to Nevernight, one of my favourite books of… Continue reading

Book Review: Tempests and Slaughter by Tamora Pierce
Tamora Pierce was my J. K. Rowling (along with, well, J. K. Rowling) when I was a kid and her books are one of the reasons I grew up to be the reader and the person I am today. My library had copies of the Song of the Lioness quartet and a few others scattered… Continue reading

Book Review: Nevernight by Jay Kristoff
I had never read anything by Jay Kristoff before, but I know his books are so beloved by so many readers. I hadn’t gotten around to reading him because I was convinced I wouldn’t enjoy them — I’m not really sure where that idea came from but it stuck. Shanah from Bionic Bookworm convinced me… Continue reading

Book Review: Wildcard by Marie Lu
I read Warcross last year and tore through it. I’m not usually the type to like books about virtual reality and video games, however I found the world of Warcross to be so incredibly compelling and I really loved the characters. Eager to read more about this thrilling world, I was thrilled to read an… Continue reading

Book Review: City of Ghosts by Victoria Schwab
I’ve been curious about Victoria Schwab’s new middle grade tale because it’s such a departure from her adult fantasy novels. As you all may know, I’m not a huge fan of her adult books but really like her as a person. City of Ghosts sounded promising because it contains so many things I love –… Continue reading
