I can't write books so I review them instead
Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for this eARC in exchange for my honest review. When I was approved for this title, I had not realized that it was part of a series. I went through a lot of trouble to order the first book Children of Icarus and read it prior to this one.…
The year is almost ending, and Christmas is approaching, and I have soooo many books I want to finish!! I’m home right now with my family, which is great because I can spend some quality time with them, but not so great in terms of getting through my book list. However, I’m going to do…
This novel has been on all the trending reading lists. I really wanted to know what the hype was about. There’s been a trend in stories that talk about parties going wrong, but this one seemed unique in that it was not just told from the perspectives of adults but also from teens. Here is…
I’ve always been fascinated by the Salem Witch trials. It was a time when paranoia and hallucinations ran rampant, leading to the death of many innocent women. I remember reading quite a few nonfiction novels to try to understand how this mass hysteria came to be. I haven’t had a chance to read a fictional…
I’m a sucker for murder mysteries of all kind. But this one had a unique premise. It’s been called a mashup of The Breakfast Club and Clue. After reading this book, I couldn’t agree more.

The reverberations from that tragedy still shake the community … and the privileged students involved in it. Now, new teacher Molly Nicoll enters the scene, hoping to inspire…
I read the premise of this novel months ago, but it was not available anywhere in Canada for a while. I’ve been eagerly anticipating this novel, which has been hailed as a YA version of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, which is one of my favorite series! Lumikki Andersson is a loner and she likes…
I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. It’s rare to come across a book that explores the relationship between a father and his daughter. Most books focus on mother and son or mother and daughter, but showcasing the father’s role in the upbringing of his child…
I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I usually don’t read novels like this one. I don’t like sad novels or ones that have graphic depictions, especially if it’s regarding constant physical or sexual abuse. But I was given this novel to read and I felt…
I’ve become extremely lazy with this blog. It’s not like I’ve stopped reading; I read every single day on my subway rides and even at home in the evenings. But when I actually have to write my review, I push it aside and hold off for a bit. Maybe it’s from the exhaustion of my…
