Heartless Hunter by Kristen Ciccarelli

I kinda loved this, and I will impatiently wait for the sequel. Two years ago, a bloody revolt occurred, and the three witch queens were killed, and anyone suspected of being a witch was stripped naked in the streets to search for the telltale silver casting scars. Rune’s grandmother was one of the witches killedContinue reading “Heartless Hunter by Kristen Ciccarelli”

Basil and Oregano by Melissa Capriglione

This was so cute! Basil goes to Porta Bella Magiculinary Academy, but to stay there, she has to keep her top student spot. Then Arabella Oregano, the daughter of a famous chef, joins the Academy, and Basil quickly finds herself falling head over heels for Arabella. The two work together through out the school year,Continue reading “Basil and Oregano by Melissa Capriglione”

Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo

This was just an okay book. Though, I did enjoy the second half better than the first. The country of Ravka has long been at war, and long been divided by the Shadow Fold, a scar of darkness filled with horrifying monsters. Many people don’t survive the trip through it. Our main character, Alina, mustContinue reading “Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo”

Skyriders by Polly Holyoke

Normally I wouldn’t read this, as it’s lower on the middle grade spectrum than I usually read, but I will be interviewing the amazing Polly Holyoke, author of Skyriders and The Neptune Project soon, so keep an eye out for that! Now, on to the book. Kie is happy delivering the mail alongside her trustyContinue reading “Skyriders by Polly Holyoke”

This Fatal Kiss by Alicia Jasinska

Thank you to Netgalley for an advanced reader copy. I really liked this. The only thing that felt a little weird was the unspecified time period, but even that part was enjoyable. Gisela is one of the rusałki—the spirits of girls who died violent deaths in bodies of water—who desperately wants to regain her humanity.Continue reading “This Fatal Kiss by Alicia Jasinska”

Once Upon A Broken Heart by Stephanie Garber

This is actually a really good book. Better than I expected. Evangeline Fox is heartbroken. The boy she believes is her true love is marrying her stepsister. So Evangeline prays to the Prince of Hearts, a magical Fate who turns out to be charming, wicked, and dangerously addictive. He agrees to stop the wedding asContinue reading “Once Upon A Broken Heart by Stephanie Garber”

Gilded by Marissa Meyer

This was great. Marissa Meyer is pretty much my favorite author. She wrote Cinder and Heartless, as well as some other books that I haven’t read just yet. Now, on to the review! Serilda was blessed—or cursed—before she was born with the power of lies and storytelling by the god of fate and fortune, Wyrdith.Continue reading “Gilded by Marissa Meyer”

Hell Followed With Us by Andrew Joseph White

This…is an amazing book. It was maybe a bit too gory for me, specifically, but it’s still a very good book. Benji is on the run from the cult that unleashed Armageddon and practically destroyed the world’s population. The cult that raised him. The cult that told him over and over that he was aContinue reading “Hell Followed With Us by Andrew Joseph White”

Bring Me Their Hearts by Sara Wolf

This was pretty good. Not the best though. Zera is the immortal servant of the witch Nightsinger. She’s been a Heartless for three years, ever since Nightsinger brought her back from the brink of death. Zera will do anything to get her heart back, so when the witches ask her to infiltrate the royal court,Continue reading “Bring Me Their Hearts by Sara Wolf”

We Called Them Giants by Kieron Gillen and Stephanie Hans

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.This was interesting. The story was a little lacking. The art style was a bit strange in my opinion. Lori is a foster kid who’s long been disillusioned with the system. Then one day she wakes to find everyone in theContinue reading “We Called Them Giants by Kieron Gillen and Stephanie Hans”
