Review: The Opportunist by Tarryn Fisher

Review: Hysteria by Megan Miranda

Hysteria was high up on my reading list well before it came out so when I first got my library card it was one of the first books I requested, and then patiently(um, not) waited for my hold to come through. I had heard mixed things about Hysteria but that didn’t stop me, I love […]

Review: Blind Spot by Laura Ellen

Blind Spot was by far one of my most anticipated reads of the year. As soon as I read the synopsis I knew I had to read it, it sounded amazing. Such an interesting plot, and the cover is beautiful to boot. I read it almost as soon as I received it, which is unusual […]

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 […]
