ARC Review: Yolk

So I fully expected that this book was going to break me, I just didn’t expect that THAT was the way it was going to break me. Jayne is a New York City living college student, who seems pretty distanced from her family even though her sister, June, lives only streets away. That changes when …

ARC Review: Foretold

Apologies in advance, but this review is going to be a very personal one. When I saw that there was a book about someone with OCD and superpowers, I genuinely screamed. I remember the first time someone described OCD to me as being a kind of power, it made the world look so much brighter to …

ARC Review: These Violent Delights

As someone who really dislikes Shakespeare (but really wants to like it), I'm so happy to have found a retelling of Romeo and Juliet that I enjoyed! Juliette Cai and Roma Montagov are sworn enemies due to the blood feud between their two gangs: the Scarlets and White Flowers. But suddenly a madness starts infecting …

ARC Review: Two White Queens and the One-Eyed Jack

I have some really mixed emotions about this book, so I’ll try to break it down as best I can. Two White Queens and the One-Eyed Jack takes a look at fate and destiny, set in both Canada and Germany in the 60s-80s. As a child, Jack loses his eye while climbing a tree with …

February Wrap-Up/TBR

In addition being very late with this post, it will also be shorter than my other wrap-ups. School, unfortunately, is still taking over my life, and I did not get to read as much as I hoped in comparison to January. Also unfortunately, I did not really like anything that I finished (or I found …

ARC Review: A Dark and Hollow Star

If I haven’t convinced you to go out and buy 10 copies of this book by the end of my review, I haven’t done it justice.  When iron born children-those of mixed faerie and human decent- begin being killed, everyone expects the fae Court to take action. However, it becomes increasingly clear that they are …

ARC Review: Amelia Unabridged

This is the kind of book that sneaks up on your heart when you’re least expecting it. After Amelia’s father leaves her, Jenna swoops into her life, giving her a friendship and second family. The two initially bond over a shared love for a book series called the Orman chronicles. But only days after they …

Monthly Wrap-Up: January

Last month felt like a year in itself, but it's finally over! Hooray! Although I wasn't very productive in the general category of "life" I did manage to read a decent amount. To keep the post readable, I'm going to give quick reviews of my top 4 reads of the month. 1. A Dark and …

ARC Review: Written in the Stars

Super cute sapphic romance, coming right up! Elle and Darcy are total opposites, set up on a blind first date through Brendon— Elle’s new business partner, and Darcy’s brother. Elle is the whimsical social media influencer responsible for “Oh My Stars,” a popular astrology twitter account, and is intent on finding true love. Darcy, however, …

ARC Review: The Midnight Bargain

I wasn’t sure about this book at first, but I’m glad I stuck it out! Beatrice is a woman in a society that only values her as a wife and mother. Only men are allowed to become full sorcerers, a fate Beatrice has dreamed of since she was a young girl. She is determined to …
