We're all mad about books here.
The Mirk and Midnight Hour by Jane Nickerson was an atmospheric historical fiction retelling of the Scottish ballad, Tam Lin. I had never heard of the ballad before, which I think really helped me to enjoy the story even more since I was going into it blind. A Southern girl. A wounded soldier. A chilling force [...]
While I enjoyed the first book in the series, I wasn't completely enthralled with it. However, this sequel blew it out of the water completely. Honor Bound (The Honors, #2) by Rachel Caine and Ann Aguirre is the perfect action-filled sequel in this science fiction series. Zara Cole was a thief back on Earth, but she’s been [...]
I'm just going to prepare you now - this will be a gushing review. I enjoyed The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo but wasn't as enamored with it as everyone else seems to be, so my expectations for this one were a little tempered. However, Daisy Jones & The Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid was a smash hit for [...]
I actually went into this book fairly blind to the plot and I am so glad that I did. The Fever King (Feverwake, #1) by Victoria Lee was such an interesting and engaging story, weaving current societal themes into a dystopian fantasy. In the former United States, sixteen-year-old Noam Álvaro wakes up in a hospital bed, the [...]
When I received this ARC at BookCon last year, I was really excited. I love a good retelling, especially one that is able to bring a completely new spin to the original story. And while Ibi Zoboi's Pride was able to take the story in a new direction, it wasn't even close to living up to my [...]
Let me preface this by saying that two years is too freaking long to wait between releases for a fantasy series. Luckily, I enjoy this series too much that I won't hate on Susan Dennard for pushing back Bloodwitch (The Witchlands, #3). Fans of Susan Dennard's New York Times bestselling Witchlands series have fallen in love with the [...]
To say that I've been dying until this book was released would be a bit of understatement. I was able to snag a sampler at BookCon last year and was immediately hooked. And I am happy to say that A Curse So Dark and Lonely (A Curse So Dark and Lonely, #1) by Brigid Kemmerer, lived up [...]
