Sherwood

By Meagan Spooner

It pains me to give it this rating, as I love this author’s style and her previous books, but for some reason this book only half-worked for me. I enjoyed the beginning and the voice of main character, same could be applied to the ending, though it took a turn I did not quite expect. But.. there’s always a but, isn’t…

Bad Romance

By Heather Demetrios

I am confused by my (highly conflicting) feelings about this book. In a way, stories like Bad Romance are vital in a (bookish) world were dysfunctional relationships are usually promoted. Too many other YA/NA books present us with overprotective, possessive, controlling and even abusing characters, and they try to paint them as such wonderful romantic stories (they are purposely misleading…

Chasing the Dream

By Elizabeth Briggs

I am not a writer; I have no idea how does that feel like or how hard it might be. But I am a reader and as a reader I do have expectations. When I read a book I want to ‘live’ in it for a while, I want to ‘be’ the main character through it all, to ‘have’…

Pawn

Book #1 in The Blackcoat Rebellion Series

By Aimee Carter

I am still a bit unsure about this one. Dystopian stories can be a hit or a miss with me and this one falls somewhere in between. Overall, it was such a confusing story. The premise was really interesting and it started pretty well, but somehow (in all that confusion and the lack of trust regarding most of the…

Crash into You

Book #3 in Pushing the Limits Series

By Katie McGarry

You can’t imagine how long and desperately I’ve been waiting for this book. I liked Isaiah so much in the previous books and it broke my heart to see him suffer, so I was really-really eager to get my hands on his ‘happily ever after’ with the girl of his dreams. … Turns out his dreams are my nightmares.

Drink, Slay, Love

By Sarah Beth Durst

When I first came across this book featuring vampires and were-unicorns, I thought: “what the hell, this should be fun”, as fun as any parody can be.. and it has been for a while, with Pearl’s witty voice and her slow transformation from the soul-less vampire to the ‘humanized’ one. But when it got to the point of her…

She’s so dead to us

Book #1 in He's So/She's So Series

By Kieran Scott

Usually, wanting to punch all the characters in a book it is not a really good sign.. and I won’t say that this is not the case because in fact it really is. I hate horrible friends (all Ally’s supposed ex best friends), and rich kids with nothing else to do but to bully someone for their…

Spellbound

Book #1 in Spellbound Series

By Cara Lynn Shultz

“I sat there, bored, my head propped up by my hand, my eyes rolling so far back in my head I could practically see my own brain.” The premise for this one was really, really good – I like the idea of soul-mates and I am always looking for a good romance based on this, but I don’t know…

Cross My Heart

By Katie Klein

“Maybe. But you know, when you love someone you love them. And every day you sit back pretending that you don’t is one less day you have with him.” I think “cute” is the right word for this. I like it when a book takes me by surprise, and this one did quite a good job at it. I…

Delirium

Book #1 in Delirium Series

By Lauren Oliver

“I love you. Remember. They cannot take it.” I wanted to like this book… I really did, but somehow I couldn’t get into it the way I wanted. The writing was really good, but I guess it wasn’t enough for me to love the story. First, I like a book with a plausible story-line. I understand the need…

The Ghost and the Goth

Book #1 in The Ghost and the Goth Series

By Stacy Kade

I don’t know what to say about this book because I don’t really know if I liked it or not that much. The cover was great and this is the main reason I decided to give this book a try, and the characters were nice and entertaining (they had a voice of their own that i really got to enjoy…

Cracked Up to Be

By Courtney Summers

“How does it feel to know that even at my worst, you’re still not good enough?” The beginning was so, so great and funny, and all. I was so happy to choose this book because it felt perfect for me.. but I don’t know why my interest got lost by the middle of the story, and by the end I…
