Breathing Underwater by Abbey Lee Nash

First off, I am absolutely in love with this cover. Seriously, it’s so beautiful. The one thing I didn’t like about this book was the romance. It felt very rushed and could’ve been much better. Tess has always known she’s going to become a professional swimmer, and get into a prestigious college on a swimmingContinue reading “Breathing Underwater by Abbey Lee Nash”

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”

Exes and Foes by Amanda Woody

I received a free copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This was so good. I didn’t know if I would like this going in, but I would give this ten stars if I could.

This is a really cute book. Fans of k-pop and fluffy romances will like it. Jenny is an incredibly talented cellist. She works hard, and she knows she going to get into the Manhattan School of Music.

Breathe and Count Back From Ten by Natalia Sylvester

This is an amazing book. Five shining stars from me. Verónica is a Peruvian-American teen with hip dysplasia.

Verónica is amazed by the mermaids at Mermaid Cove, her small Florida town’s claim to fame.Continue reading “Breathe and Count Back From Ten by Natalia Sylvester”

Powerless by Lauren Roberts

I was so excited for this book, I even bought it before reading it, which I very rarely do. I was slightly disappointed, as it was very repetitive, but overall I loved it and it was a great read. Years ago, a plague swept over Ilya, granting extraordinary powers to those strong enough to survive.Continue reading “Powerless by Lauren Roberts”

Aurora Rising by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff

I’ve been meaning to read this book for a long time, and man, I’m glad I finally got around to it.

He’s preparedContinue reading “Aurora Rising by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff”

Cold The Night, Fast The Wolves by Meg Long

I really liked this book. It was super interesting (at least to me). Sena lives on a planet covered in ice and snow, where electric storms run rampant, and crime lords rule. The only thing that makes it a popular tourist destination is the deadly sled race hosted every year, when the ice thaws justContinue reading “Cold The Night, Fast The Wolves by Meg Long”
