I can't write books so I review them instead
I remember seeing this book as a hot new release in my library and having to put a hold on it because it was a pre-release selection. At that time, I was very excited to get a chance to read it. But by the time I got it, I found that I couldn’t remember why…
This is an advance copy given to me by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review! Somehow, I always come back to the thrillers. I just love how I get to follow through with the craziness of the situation, how my heart begins to beat faster the closer the story gets to the big reveal,…
Let me start by saying this isn’t the first novel I’ve read by this author. Back in high school, I would read her Otherworld series and all of her other books as soon as I could get my hands on them. She is witty and has strong female characters, which is always a winner for…
Recently, I’ve been feeling as if I’m too old to read teen fiction. It may have been because one of my friends scoffed at the fact that I was reading this novel, saying that I’m no longer a teen and shouldn’t be reading YA fiction. Well, to that I say, NO WAY! I love teen…

I was really excited to read this novel because this is the same author that wrote Eleanor and Park, which made me cry my eyes out and was just fantastic. I had really high hopes for this novel, especially because it involved fantasy – and we all know I love fantasy novels! Simon Snow is…
Before this novel, I had never heard of Tami Hoag. I had no idea that she was a bestselling author or that she had published more than 30 books. All I knew was that this novel was on many recommendation lists and that I had to make some time to read it. In all honesty,…
When I initially started reading this novel, I had no idea that it was part of a series; I was hoping to read a standalone novel as it would be easier to move on to the next book. However, after reading this book, I am so glad that it is part of a series and…
