Ink and Bone

Ink and Bone

My Thoughts: This book is by Rachel Caine and it focuses on libraries. I am so in! I loved the idea that the Great Library of Alexandra not only survived, but thrived! In the world of Ink and Bone, the library has nearly unlimited power. And as we know, power corrupts! The library seeks to control all knowledge. They are… Read more »

Silver in the Blood

Silver in the Blood

My Thoughts: I picked this book up based on the cover (oh my gorgeous!!!) and the fact that it was written by Jessica Day George. I’m sure I read a summary about it at some point but all I remembered going in was that it took place in Romania in the late 1800’s and it… Read more »

The Fixer

The Fixer

My Thoughts: Jennifer Lynn Barnes is basically a genius. This is the sixth book of her’s that I’ve read and each one has captured my attention and left my wowed! The characters, the pacing, the suspense… perfection. I picked this book up on a day when I was kind of distracted. That ended the minute I… Read more »

The Heart of Betrayal

The Heart of Betrayal

My Thoughts: How do I even begin this review?!? There was so much I loved about this book. Basically there is no way to avoid spoilers for book one (they’re there in the summary!) so there will be some spoilers about The Kiss of Deception. Beware. First and foremost: Lia forever. Lia for always. 100% Team Lia!… Read more »

The Witch Hunter

The Witch Hunter

My Thoughts: This book is a page turner from the get go. It starts with action and doesn’t let up. I was honestly surprised (in a positive way) by how much had happened before I had even read a quarter of the book! I was looking forward to this book for a few reasons. Most of them are… Read more »

Every Last Word

Every Last Word

My Thoughts: This was a really intense, really excellent read. My heart just went out to the main character, Sam. She has Purely-Obsessional OCD and seeing what she went through on a daily basis… wow. What a strong and incredible young woman! As a teacher I’ve worked with students dealing with obsessive-compulsive spectrum disorders. Reading Every Last… Read more »

The Book of Broken Hearts

The Book of Broken Hearts

My Thoughts: I don’t know what I expected from this book but it wasn’t me sitting on my couch sobbing over it. And I mean sobbing. Oh man. Just thinking about it makes me tear up! But, stars, did I love it! This was the second book by Sarah Ockler that I read and I know… Read more »

Emmy & Oliver

Emmy & Oliver

My Thoughts: This was my first Robin Benway book but it certainly won’t be my last! I loved it so, so much. I’m not even really sure where to start. I’ll divide this into three parts: why I picked it up, why I kept reading, and why I’ll read more. Why I picked it up: There… Read more »

Lion Heart

Lion Heart

My Thoughts: Oy. This book. This series! So. Much. Love. I don’t even know where to begin! It you haven’t read Scarlet or Lady Thief you are seriously missing out! So, Lady Thief ended and I was all aflutter. Between what we learn about Scar’s history and the events that occurred there is a lot going on.  I needed to know what… Read more »

Spirit and Dust

Spirit and Dust

My Thoughts: This book is a companion to Texas Gothic (which I LOVED!) I was excited to get back into the world of the Goodnight family.  Daisy, the main character in Spirit and Dust is cousins Amy from Texas Gothic. Daisy’s Goodnight gift is a bit different… she can speak to the dead. Add that to her “job” working with the… Read more »
