You guys probably already know I’m a little obsessed with the work of Danielle Vega, so I was beyond stoked to receive an invitation to read the eARC of her new book, The Unleashed, from Penguin Teen. Thank you again so much to Penguin Teen for sending me this one – I love YA horror,…
ARC Review: Goddess in the Machine by Lora Beth Johnson (Out June 30th)
Hello, hello fellow YA readers! I’m coming at you today with a review of a soon to be released YA sci-fi novel. I know, this is exciting. Two things I always want to see more of are more YA sci-fi and more YA horror. Goddess in the Machine, by Lora Beth Johnson, follows a young…
Book Review: Let’s Call It a Doomsday by Katie Henry
Let’s Call It a Doomsday is a contemporary YA written by Katie Henry and released as her sophomore novel in August of 2019, which, in pandemic terms, was actually like fourteen years ago, so it seems like it’s been out for a while, and yet it only recently surfaced on my radar. As soon as…
Book Review: Sorcery of Thorns by Margaret Rogerson
Sorcery of Thorns is a YA fantasy from Margaret Rogerson, author of the super popular (and extremely photogenic, if bookstagram is anything to go by) novel An Enchantment of Ravens. Sorcery of Thorns follows Elisabeth Scrivener (who, hello, has the coolest name ever), who has grown up in one of the Great Libraries of her…
Book Review: The Haunted by Danielle Vega
Oh, hello, spoopy babies. It’s time for another spoopy book review. This time we are talking about The Haunted, the latest release from one of my favorite YA horror authors, Ms. Danielle Vega/Rollins (probably best known for being the author of The Merciless series). This one, like the The Merciless and Survive the Night, is…
Most Recent 5-Star YA Reads: Undead Girl Gang, The Final Six, & I Have Lost My Way
So clearly, the title of this post is a major spoiler: I’m giving all these books five stars. No surprises here, I’m just putting my cards out on the table right off the bat. So maybe the conclusion of the reviews won’t shock you, but I still wanted to talk about these three books on…
Book Review: Whisper of the Tide by Sarah Tolcser
So if you’ve literally ever been on my blog or on my bookstagram, you’re probably pretty well aware that I seriously love Song of the Current by Sarah Tolcser (if you haven’t read my full review of that book yet, click here to check it out). And I mean love. I love the characters, the…
Book Review: Everything Leads to You by Nina LaCour
Everything Leads To You is a YA contemporary by Nina LaCour. I actually recently discovered Nina LaCour when I read her novel We Are Okay (review here, by the way) and fell madly, deeply, and instantly in love with her writing. As soon as I finished reading that book, I said to myself, well, okay, now…
Book Review: A Map for Wrecked Girls by Jessica Taylor
Have you ever gotten in a fight with someone while you were in a car together, and then you had to just sit there with them…trapped…unable to go anywhere else and forced to either work through your issues or tear each other’s heads off? This book is basically that feeling, multiplied by about a thousand.…
August Book Haul
So in late June and most of July I went *a tad bit crazy* with book buying, so my August book haul is a smaller one, because, you know, life is all about balance…and because I’d like for my TBR to not fall and crush me to death in my sleep. I don’t ask for…
