You can check out my review of the first book, Aurora Rising, here! As the title suggests, this book played with my emotions in a way that I knew was going to happen but still hurt none the less. We got so much more Kal in this book, for which I am so thankful. However, I realize … Continue reading Aurora Burning My Heart to Cinders
I have dreamed all my life of being a knight. I felt that Hazel desperately understood that desire. Because of Hazel's dream to also be a knight, I definitely connected with Hazel on a personal level. She literally lives in a fairytale and I was in love with this story and its characters from pretty … Continue reading We need more female knights: Quick Review
I listened to the Barnes and Noble podcast where Neal and Jarrod Shusterman discussed this book, and I was immediately hooked. Shusterman does an amazing job with dystopia, and so I just knew he'd do an amazing job with the drought apocalypse. And they did an amazing job. https://videopress.com/v/bx3TAizu?preloadContent=metadata I can't decide if this book … Continue reading Dry: Because I needed another end of the world book
I've been on my library's waitlist for this book for months. I got on the list when I realized I wouldn't be returning to college for the rest of the semester and I'd actually have time to read this book. Well, I didn't get to read it until recently, BUT it was worth the wait. … Continue reading House of Earth and Blood Review

It's hard to put into words how good this series continues to be. The plot keeps expanding as Shusterman adds new perspectives. https://videopress.com/v/1dKjfT3Z?preloadContent=metadata I also really enjoyed getting to see the Thunderhead's perspective on not only what's happening currently, but it's perspective on EVERYTHING. I love that the Thunderhead is completely good. I'm not a … Continue reading Thunderhead: the perfect follow up to Scythe
The game continues in the second book of the Charlotte Holmes series. Catch up on my review of the first book, A Study in Charlotte, here! The plot thickens in this book as it creates a platform for the rest of the series. It raises the stakes of danger and the stakes between Holmes and Watson's relationship. https://videopress.com/v/PUq9RbGu?controls=false&preloadContent=metadata Their … Continue reading Last of August Review
I read this book for a college class this semester which was exciting because YA books rarely are used in college classes since they're so often not considered "literature." BOO. So, I was SUPER excited to have a reason to read this book since I'd seen it mentioned the book world a few times. Four … Continue reading I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter
We're back, friends! I think what makes this book so enticing is the cast of characters we get to see. Of course, the plot is phenomenal, and the ending wrecked me really really bad, and I don't care to dwell on it much. Four Stars Since I loved getting to know the characters better, I … Continue reading TOG Marathon Day 5: Empire of Storms
Check out my reviews of the other books I've read by Levenseller: Daughter of the Pirate King Daughter of the Siren Queen This book was marketed as a Slytherin romance, and I don't think it could have been described any better. This book allows us to see the other side of classic stories. Usually, we'd … Continue reading It was a true Slytherin romance
