This is pretty good. Eleanor works at witch themed gift shop, but she’s also the least likely person in Salem to believe in magic. That is until a cute girl named Pix invites her to a coven. Eleanor is oh so happy to perform witchy rituals if it means spending more time with Pix. ButContinue reading “Improbable Magic For Cynical Witches by Kate Scelsa”

This is an odd book, but I liked it. Snap doesn’t believe the rumor that there’s a witch in the woods. A witch that eats pets. But when her dog goes missing, she has to be sure. Her dog is in fact there, and missing a leg. Snap flees with her dog, but then sheContinue reading “Snapdragon by Kat Leyh”

This book is awesome. And Marissa Meyer is one of my favorite authors. She also wrote Cinder. So, this is a dark origin story for the infamous Queen of Hearts. Catherine is the best baker in all of Hearts, and she likes it like that. She has no interest in being a proper lady likeContinue reading “Heartless by Marissa Meyer”

This was pretty good. It reshapes Disney’s Tangled into a darker (and in my opinion better) story. It’s also part of the Twisted Tales series like Conceal Don’t Feel. Rapunzel has lived in a tower with Mother Gothel for nineteen years, because her powers are dangerous, and her hair can kill people. But one dayContinue reading “What Once Was Mine by Liz Braswell”

I love this! Sixteen-year-old Jolie has an underbite, making it difficult for her to chew and sometimes talk. In two months, she’s having surgery to move her jaw into place. Jolie starts to worry that she’ll die on the operating table—which everyone tells her is highly unlikely—so she starts a list with her best friends,Continue reading “Things Jolie Needs to do Before She Bites It by Kerry Winfrey”

This is a really good book, but for some reason, it wasn’t really my cup of tea. Sarah is used to moving. It seems her parents are running from the cold. But then in the middle of the night, her mother just…leaves. Her father starts changing. He stops cleaning, and he keeps forgetting to eat,Continue reading “Beastkeeper by Cat Hellisen”

This is an interesting concept to me. Don’t get me wrong though, great book. In Saintstone, everyone is marked. Tattoos that record their lives story. And when they die, their skin is turned into books (a bit gross, in my opinion), and they get to live on in the afterlife. Leora has never seen theContinue reading “Ink by Alice Broadway”

This is pretty good, though it took a little bit for me to get into it. It’s the same author as Flunked and Misfits. This is a fractured fairytale based on Disney’s Frozen. It begs the question, what if Anna and Elsa never knew each other? Princess Elsa has always felt like something’s missing, andContinue reading “Conceal, Don’t Feel by Jen Calonita”

This book is so good. It’s the official sequel to Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas. You should probably watch the movie to understand this. Sally loves Jack, the pumpkin king, with all her heart, but now that the two are married, she isn’t loving the queenly title that comes with it. So, fed upContinue reading “Long Live the Pumpkin Queen by Shea Ernshaw”

This was pretty good. I mean, I’ve read better, but still pretty good. Vampires can no longer feed on humans whenever they want a snack. Why? Because most of humanity is infected with a virus called CFaD, and it’s deadly to vampires. A vampire named Victor Castel created a synthetic blood substitute called Hema, butContinue reading “Youngblood by Sasha Laurens”
