Review: Pushing the Limits by Katie McGarry

Woah. First off I just experienced a complete whirlwind of emotions, amazing. I really put off reading this one as a lot of the times I don’t tend to agree with the hype or end up extremely disappointed because of the hype surrounding a certain book. That did not happen with Pushing the Limits. The […]

Review: Beneath the Glitter by Elle & Blair Fowler

Honestly I don’t even know where to start. There is not really a need to rehash what the book is about because it’s exactly what the synopsis is, there’s really nothing else to explain when it comes to plot or summary. The two main characters are sisters name Sophia and Ava London. Sophia is the […]

Review: If I Lie by Corrine Jackson

To start, I had a completely different review scheduled today. This was not supposed to be posted until I Sunday when I anticipated finishing it. I could not wait till then to finish and I certainly could not wait till then to post this review. This book broke my heart over, and over, and over. […]

Review: Partials by Dan Wells

Lately I’ve been interested in a lot of different types of books-ones I previously never would have cast a second glance at. Partials is one of those books. A year ago I never would have dreamed of reading a post-apocalyptic book about engineered organic beings! I’m glad that I’ve started to broaden my interests as […]

I absolutely loved Maya […]
