Young Jane Young by Gabrielle Zevin

I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. This is one of thsoe cases where I chose a book simply because its title and cover looked interesting. I wanted to see if the story would match its outward appeal, and was very excited to have received this…

The Terracotta Bride by Zen Cho

I really wanted to read a short novel that had an interesting concept so when this one was recommended to me, I grabbed the chance!

Beasts Made of Night by Tochi Onyebuchi

Thank you to Penguin Random House and First to Read program for this ARC in exchange for my honest review! I love reading fantasy novels that have a different cultural influence.

The Bohemian Gospel by Dana Chamblee Carpenter

Blood Oath by Melissa Lenhardt – Sawbones #2

And I really liked it. The story was good, the theme was good, nothing felt overdone… it was just a great experience…

Visions by Kelley Armstrong – Cainsville #2

It’s been a while since I read Omens by this author but I really enjoyed that foray into urban fantasy. I hadn’t planned on waiting so long to read the sequel but … life … happens. Anyways, I finally got around to it so here is my review: In Omens, Olivia Taylor-Jones discovers that she is…
