We're all mad about books here.
Let me preface this by saying that I REALLY did not enjoy Erin Morgenstern's debut novel, The Night Circus. I found it to be extremely boring with a pointless plotline. So that had me a little concerned going into this book but I'm happy to say that I didn't have that issue at all with The Starless [...]
I wasn't really sure what to expect with Lisa Maxwell's The Last Magician (The Last Magician, #1). I had heard many good things about the book and the premise sounded very interesting, but I was never fully hyped on reading it. However, I'm glad that I did as it turned out to be an interesting read with [...]
Everyone has been raving about Shea Ernshaw's The Wicked Deep, ever since it was first released early last year. I was finally convinced to give it a shot recently and was pleasantly surprised that I enjoyed it as much as I did. Sometimes the hype is actually deserved... Welcome to the cursed town of Sparrow… Where, [...]
Debut novels always excite me, as I could possibly have found a new favorite author. And I'm so happy to say that that was the case with this book. Kelly Powell's Songs from the Deep was such a beautifully atmospheric story that immediately captured my attention and transported me to Twillengyle. Big thank you to Simon and [...]
I know that almost every single one of us that grew up with Harry Potter, has had very little success recreating that feeling of whimsy and magic in other books or movies. However, I will say that while reading Jessica Townsend's Trials of Morrigan Crow (Nevermoor, #1), I felt that feeling of nostalgia that reminded me [...]
As soon as I heard this book was being labeled as Anastasia-meets-Firefly, I knew that I had to pick it up. And I'm so glad I did. Ashley Poston's Heart of Iron (Heart of Iron, #1) was just the right amount of fun that will always keep my attention. Seventeen-year-old Ana is a scoundrel by nurture and [...]
Whenever I read a good historical fiction novel, I feel a strong sense of nostalgia for some reason. Maybe it's because I read mostly historical fiction when I was a child, or maybe it's just my strong love of history that draws me completely in. But for whatever reason, I definitely got that feeling while [...]
I was surprised by the lyrical writing in The Game of Love and Death by Martha Brockenbrough. It really heightened the fantasy and romance in this historical fiction novel. Antony and Cleopatra. Helen of Troy and Paris. Romeo and Juliet. And now . . . Henry and Flora. For centuries Love and Death have chosen their [...]
I have never heard anyone talking about this book but when I read the synopsis, I knew I had to give it a shot. Greek gods fighting against each other in modern times? Check. Trojan War heroes being reincarnated? Check. Gritty urban fantasy courtesy of Kendare Blake? Check. So basically everything I could ever ask [...]
I had only been hearing amazing things about this newest release from Robert Jackson Bennett, and since I'm such a fantasy-lover, I knew I had to try it.. And yes, the hype is real. It did take me a little time to get through this book but Foundryside (Founders, #1) was totally worth it. Sancia Grado is [...]
