I can't write books so I review them instead
When I first approached this novel, I had no idea what a shut eye was. Apparently a Shut Eye is a true psychic, as opposed to frauds. That got me interested right away because I love anything psychic. I don’t know if I really believe in psychics per se but reading about them is always…
Ever since I read Room, I have been a fan of this author’s work. I have been anxiously waiting for this novel to be released and I was lucky enough to find a copy as I was passing by my local library! I sat down and read this novel in one sitting, and if that…
I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I had previously read The Ice Twins by this same author, and while I hadn’t loved that novel, I still thought it had been very well-written with a very interesting plot. I was quite excited to see how this new…
This book has been number one on my list of must-reads. Everywhere I’ve turned, I’ve read glowing recommendations about this book, and even the synopsis had me excited to give it a go. Finally, I was able to get my hands on it, and I finished it in record time today, even putting aside my…
I’ve waited a long time before deciding to give this novel a shot. I saw the trailers for the movie based off of this book, and it just put me off a bit. I also considered this to be just one more dystopian teen novel and didn’t bother finding out about the premise. I finally…

Once in a while you come across a book with a story that just seems too interesting to not read. That’s what happened for me with this novel. When I read the premise of it, I couldn’t stop thinking about it for a few days. It reminded me of The Incarnations, which was an amazing read,…
What drew me to this novel was that it is based on a true story. I love fiction and I will read pretty much any genre but when it comes to historical fiction, the more truth there is, the more I like it. The story line itself seemed quite intriguing, what with its gruesome portrayal…
Sometimes, when I have been waiting for a long time to read a book, I forget what got me interested in it in the first place. That’s exactly what happened with this novel: I had so much else going on what with finals season and applications that I completely forgot about this novel. And when…
Sometimes, the public library can be the absolute best thing in the world. I had this novel on my Holds list and I knew I wasn’t due to read this novel for a long time. But as I was walking through my public library, with no intention of borrowing anything, I suddenly saw it on…
