Sunrise on the Reaping (Hunger Games prequel) Suzanne Collins Reviewed 4/23/2025 Rating : ⭐️⭐️ Review (NO spoilers): Hear me out. I’m sorry. I didn’t love this. It wasn’t that good. It’s nostalgia bait and fanservice, just like I feared… but most people are eating it up. Not that it’s necessarily wrong to enjoy the ridiculously retconning cameos, but in all honesty, Sunrise on the Reaping jus » Continue Reading
Ivory and Bone Julie Eshbaugh Reviewed 2/27/25 Rating : ⭐️⭐️ Review (NO spoilers): This book was just so incredibly boring. Nothing ever happened. The characters sucked, the action was nonexistent, and the plot was very one-dimensional. The second-person POV really wasn’t an issue for me, it just felt like an unnecessary choice. Apparently this book is the first of a series? I will » Continue Reading
Night Speed Chris Howard Reviewed 2/27/25 Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Probably more of a 2 1/2, in hindsight Premise : Only those young enough can survive the pulse-pounding rush of tetra, a dangerous and addictive new drug that fuels a nine-minute burst of superhuman strength and speed. Alana West has been trained to use the drug so she can pursue the young criminals who abuse its power--criminals » Continue Reading
The Order of Odd-Fish James Kennedy Reviewed 2/14/25 Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Review (NO spoilers): My first 5 star book of 2025! I absolutely adored this. It’s beyond weird. Bizarre. Strange. Eccentric. Whatever adjective you want to use: it’s that and more! This book was a wild ride. The Order of Odd-Fish is extremely well written. Kennedy’s writing style is a mix of Douglas Adams and Lemony Snic » Continue Reading
Incarceron & Sapphique (series review) Catherine Fisher Reviewed 2/3/25 Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Review (NO spoilers): This series was not exactly what I was expecting when I picked it up off the library shelf! The plot and world were quite intriguing, but I didn't like many of the characters, and the plot was slow at times. A solid duology that at times could not decide if it was sci-fi or fantasy. I enj... » Continue Reading
Dead Girls Society Michelle Krys Reviewed 1/24/2025 Rating : ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Review (NO spoilers): This was a fun short contemporary mystery. Read it in about 2 hours, and enjoyed it. It wasn't perfectly realistic, and the ending was a little funky, but otherwise a pretty good book. Struggled a bit with the unrealistic scenes and tropey characters, but it’s worth a read if you’ve got a few extra hours » Continue Reading
Shadow & Bone (Grisha Book 1) Leigh Bardugo Reviewed 1/19/2025 Rating : ⭐️⭐️ Review (NO spoilers): It feels like an unoriginal, classic YA. Something I'd have loved several years ago, but compared to the books I read now, it just feels way lower quality. Pretty boring, and I don't really like any of the characters. Definitely directed towards a much younger audience, unlike Six of Crows. » Continue Reading
Crooked Kingdom (Six of Crows Book Two) Leigh Bardugo Reviewed 1/18/2025 Rating : ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Review (NO spoilers): Crooked Kingdom moved slower than Six of Crows; it was still engaging, but not amazingly so. There are some… questionable writing decisions. I didn't have high expectations for this as a sequel, and it didn’t exceed my expectations; but regardless, I still enjoyed it (more so in the fi » Continue Reading
Six of Crows (Six of Crows Book One) Leigh Bardugo Reviewed 1/14/2025 Rating : ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Review (NO spoilers): A solid high fantasy book, split between the POVs of 6 compelling heroes and heroines. It wasn’t amazing, but it was good and an overall enjoyable read. Bardugo manages the point of view switch well, and does an excellent job with worldbuilding and descriptions, but I had a few i » Continue Reading

Uglies (Uglies Book 1) Scott Westerfeld Reviewed 1/2/2025 Rating: ⭐️⭐️ Review (NO spoilers): This book was very boring. It's a unique world that is similar to many other dystopian novels in concept. I don't mind a good cliché dystopian book if it's well-written: but this was not. I understand that this is the first of a series and more probably happens later, but this failed to intrigue me to the... » Continue Reading
Unraveled (KotLC Book 9.5) Shannon Messenger Reviewed 12/11/2024 Review (NO spoilers): Keefe’s amazing adventures in “Humanland”. I came into this expecting to not enjoy it whatsoever, because I don’t particularly like Keefe and I found his POV chapters annoying in Unlocked. It definitely didn’t exceed my expectations. Very little actually occurred; Keefe just wandered around thinking thoughts, t... » Continue Reading
