My abeulo says that there are people who belong to the earth, and others, like us Martinezes, belong to the sky. The Last 8 is a dazzling, sky-soaring debut from Laura Pohl. Featuring a Latina main character who is bisexual and aromatic (like me!!), it promises a fast-paced, stand-alone sci-fi adventure where eight teens are […]
What a stunning fantasy debut! Seriously fantasy readers, you better have this book on your radar. The Girl King reveals a stimulating plot full of betrayal and sacrifices as characters fight their way to the top. Among the ensemble of casts is Lu, Min, and Nokhai. All three of them have very distinct POV’s that […]
Isn’t it the best thing when you pick up a book unexpectedly and you end up really enjoying it? Emergency Contact piqued my interest because it’s about a Korean-American girl who starts her first year of college, and a soft boy who has just broken up with his ex-girlfriend who works (and lives) at the local […]
This is my first Julie Kagawa book (I know – a shame considering how popular her Iron Fey series was when I was in middle school!), but certainly not my last. Shadow of the Fox is an own voices story set in feudal Japan where demons called youkai roam the land and a treasured scroll […]

I went into it without really knowing anything and without having seen very many reviews. To say that […]
What does a girl who has unusual golden eyes see that everyone doesn’t? While some people may think becoming a rare Paper Girl, or one of the King’s concubines as a privilege, Lei sees it for what it truly is – an abuse of female rights where young girls are forced against their will for […]
Note: This is the sequel and conclusion to a duology, which you can find my review of the first book here. This review will contain minor spoilers! After reading and really enjoying Rosemarked by Livia Blackburne, I was super ready for Umbertouched! I couldn’t wait to dive back into Dineas and Zivah’s world and the […]
The Kiss Quotient was such an adorable read! I’d been dying to get my hands on a copy since hearing all of the love that other bloggers and reviewers have been giving this book, including our very own Aila! So I was beyond excited when Jeann sent me her copy. It was an extremely cute and […]
Beautiful cover, and beautiful stories to match the outside! I really enjoyed Unbroken: 13 Stories Starring Disabled Teens. While all the authors are disabled, I’m not 100% sure their characters follow the exact disability. Either way, I love the intersections of the characters and the vast range of writing styles. They’re all written with care […]
