I can't write books so I review them instead
The series is called Demon Child. I mean… DEMON CHILD!!! How could I NOT read it with such an insanely cool title?! Initially, I was drawn to this series because of The Lyre Thief, which just recently got released. But when I found out that Lyre Thief wasn’t the first book in the series, I knew that…
I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I really like stories that take mythology and put it in an urban setting. Neil Gaiman is one of my favorite authors because he’s just such a master of reviving mythology and putting an interesting twist on it. I…
I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. When I first read the premise of this novel, I was a little hesitant to read it. It sounded like every other teen fantasy story and I wanted to try something different than the norm. After reading this novel,…
I’ve had my eye on this novel for a while. I really liked the premise of it, which reminded me a lot of the Queen of the Tearling series. I really like fantasy stories with strong female leads and this one showed a lot of promise. Everything has a spirit, be it the wind or…

I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. When I read Rebel of the Sands, I had really liked the concept of the book, and thought it had been well-written but had a few flaws. I was really happy that NetGalley and the publishers granted my wish and…
I love Ami McKay. Pretty much every book I have read by her has been thought-provoking, and intense. I expected no less of this novel of hers. I was especially excited by the magic angle; I’m going through a fantasy/supernatural phase right now so this was perfect timing for me! 1880 is a dangerous time…
The premise of this novel immediately caught my eye and I knew right away that I had to read this novel. A fantasy story for teens that is actually really dark???? Definitely up my alley! Every queen of the island of Fennbirn gives birth to a set of triplets – three queens, all who have…
