Traveling this weekend I couldn’t find a book to read that kept my attention enough to keep reading. Then I started this book. It’s been sitting on my Kindle for a while and I’m sooooooo happy I finally read it. it was a fast read, but I found myself loathing putting this down to sleep. […]
Ruling Destiny picks up pretty much where Stealing Infinity picks up. After rescuing Killian from Versaille, she’s his only friend at Gray Wolf. She struggles with her draw to him and her developing relationship with the secretive Braxton. At the same time, she’s dealing with what happened to her when Killian rescued her from the […]
I think I was attracted to this book because of the cover. A retelling of Greek mythology further enticed me. I don’t generally read ghost stories (mainly because nothing compares to the Charley Davidson series) but this was a good story. Anora and Shy were likable characters and I found myself rooting for the two […]
Wow! Brigid Kemmerer takes us back to Shyl Shallow and Emberfall with this fantastic spin-off series with Tycho as the hero, but old friends readily at hand. Picking up a few years from the end of the Cursebreakers series, Grey and LIa Mara are faced with groups threatening their reign, or Grey’s. Tycho, now the […]

I adored this book. The subject matter was touchy, but Kami Garcia crafted a beautiful story of a strong girl who was determined and knew her own worth. Peyton was on top of the world. She had a conditional offer from the college she was dying to play for and her best friend and boyfriend […]
A great coming of age story about acceptance, survival, trust and love. The main characters of this book were India, Eloise and Finn. Each with their own secrets they learn to depend on each other to cope with them. Every character was complex, down to the parents and their friends in school. I was drawn […]
Erin Watt does it again!!! I adored this story and these characters. Vaughn and Oakley were perfect. I loved how the antagonism these two had for each other slowly developed into a friendship which turned into so much more. Both of them were in desperate need of someone to see them. Not an extension of […]
Every once in a while I come across a YA book that completely surprises me and has me wondering why I didn’t pick it up sooner. LETTERS TO THE LOST is one of those books. Declan and Juliet absolutely broke my heart, sometimes equally from the sheer volume of crap they’ve each had to deal […]
I have to say, I haven’t read a YA thriller before, but Kelley Armstrong made me realize these are books I should read more often. Winter is stuck in Reeve’s End hoping she’s going to be able to get away from her father and fulfill her dream of being a doctor. And when she helps […]

HOLDING UP THE UNIVERSE was a book that surprised me. I knew the premise of the book, based on the blurb, but I don’t think I fully appreciated what Jack and Libby were going to go through in this story. It’s a remarkable story about learning to love yourself. We go into the story with […]
As a high school teacher, I enjoy reading young adult books so that I can recommend them to students. I will definitely be recommending The Hundred Lies of Lizzie Lovett to my kids once school starts again. Sedoti is spot on portraying how teens think & express themselves. She was able to capture her characters’ […]
There was so much about YOU BEFORE ANYONE ELSE that I loved. The characters, the storyline and even the backdrop for this story were perfect. But what I loved most about this book were Finley and Eddie. Their unmistakable draw to each other. The uncanny way they knew when the other needed them, even when […]
I really enjoyed this one. I borrowed it from a friend who had won it at RT. I loved the cover and the blurb and hoped the story matched them. Gia was a fantastic teenage heroine. She had angst but also a fierce belief that she could do whatever the boys were doing. She proved […]
