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”

The Weight Of Blood by Tiffany D. Jackson

This wasn’t my favorite book, mainly because I didn’t like the format, but it was still an amazing book. It’s 2014, and it’s almost time for prom. Maddy is a quiet student. She never talks, and she never makes waves. She also never comes to school on days that it’s going to rain. Why? BecauseContinue reading “The Weight Of Blood by Tiffany D. Jackson”

Sleeping In My Jeans by Connie King Leonard

This was a really good book. Mattie has a plan. She’s going to get as many scholarships as she can to pay for college, then she’s going to help her mom start a new life with Mattie’s little sister. And Mattie’s smart, her plan could work. But then her world crumbles around her. Mattie, herContinue reading “Sleeping In My Jeans by Connie King Leonard”

We Can Be Heroes by Kyrie McCauley

This is a sad, but desperately needed book. Beck and Vivian don’t exactly like each other. They tolerated each other for the sake of their mutual best friend, Cassie. That was before Cassie’s ex boyfriend brought his dad’s guns to school and killed Cassie and himself. Six months later, Beck decides to paint murals allContinue reading “We Can Be Heroes by Kyrie McCauley”

Spin by Rebecca Caprara

This book was really good. Have you heard the myth of Arachne, the woman who challenged Athena to a weaving contest and got turned into a spider? Well this book tells the tale from Arachne’s perspective. Arachne’s mother taught Arachne everything she knows about weaving, and Arachne is good at it. But no matter howContinue reading “Spin by Rebecca Caprara”

Stolen City by Elisa A. Bonnin

This book was pretty good. Lots of magical heists. Arian and her twin brother Liam are thieves. They steal magical artifacts from the Empire that occupies their city. Arian tries to forget her sorrows, like her mother is dead, her father is absent, and her brother is using magic in a city where magic isContinue reading “Stolen City by Elisa A. Bonnin”

The Selection by Kiera Cass

I didn’t go into this expecting to like it a whole lot, but it turned out to be pretty good. It’s kind of light on the plot, but it’s a fun read. In Illéa, there are eight castes, with Ones being royalty, and Eights being homeless. America and her family are Fives. America is contentContinue reading “The Selection by Kiera Cass”
