Note: This is the second book of the Brooklyn Brujas series, and my review of the first book can be found here. There will be minor spoilers! Step back into Cordova’s twisted world where brujas and casimuertos roam the land, and your friends and family may not be who you remember them to be… Bruja […]
I came into My Plain Jane with super high expectations, as I adored its predecessor My Lady Jane (which you can find my review here!). Keep in mind that these books are not connected at all, except through the focus of a woman named “Jane” and the authors writing it. You don’t need to read […]
This book was by no means bad. The writing was totally riveting, the first person POV narrative from Jinghua was intriguing, and the research is really well-done. Like, I read 15% into the book and have to commend the author on her knowledge about the Song/Yuan dynasty, and her placement of the Chinese songs and […]
A snarky heroine who’s battling a darker side within her, a forbidden romance that has excellent banter, and in general hilarious dialogue that’ll make you smile… what’s not to like about Bring Me Their Hearts? The character that really sold me on this story is Zera, a helper of a witch who has her heart […]
You know how some anthologies have hit or misses? In a mix of so many authors, there are bound to be better ones than others. This was not the case with this anthology. I can safely say that I loved all the short stories in A Thousand Beginnings and Endings. This anthology features 15 short […]
The thing with the fantasy genre is that it’s hard to make a plot that has been written millions of times before unique. Onyx and Ivory has great writing, pretty swell characters, and a decent setting, but its major drawback was how predictable the plot was. It follows many traits of the numerous fantasies I’ve […]
I’ve heard nothing but great things about this book, so obviously I had to pick it up the moment it came out! To Kill A Kingdom really holds up to its promises – a dark atmosphere, heartless heroine, and swoon-worthy slow-burn romance. I enjoyed the book from beginning to end, and it’s awesome to hear […]
I would described Emergency Contact as the “h” in the word “hipster.” It is a hit or miss book and I would only recommend it to a specific niche of readers. Emergency Contact isn’t a light, fluffy rom-com. There are pretty intense elements of the story that gives it an almost bittersweet vibe to it. […]
I don’t think I’ve ever come across a science-fiction novel with a concept similar to Honor Among Thieves. (I know a historical steampunk, Leviathan by Scott Westerfeld, that comes to mind, but with the barest of similarities.) So what makes this book stand out from the rest? I would have to say… its intriguing concept of aliens. […]
