Review: The Truth About Happily Ever After

April 21, 2017 by Claire Leave a Comment

Review: The Truth About Happily Ever After

The Truth About Happily Ever After is kind of a hard one for me. I loved Cozzo’s previous book How To Keep Rolling After A Fall – LOVED, sooo much. But, I struggled with the main character in this one. Here, we meet Alyssa, and honestly I didn’t find her super likeable at first. She…

Review: This Adventure Ends by Emma Mills

In THIS ADVENTURE ENDS, Sloane Finch has moved to a small Florida beach town, just in time for her senior year. Not much for friends, she plans to happily pass the time rereading her dad’s cheesy romance novels. But then, she falls in with the twins Vera and Gabe Fuller and their friends Remy, Aubrey,…

Spooky YA: The Charmed Children of Rookskill Castle

If you’re looking for a YA book this fall that is spooky and unsettling but not too scary, look no further. Ghosts, mystery, intrigue, unexplained phenomenon, old Scottish castles, curses, dark magic — it’s all the The Charmed Children of Rookskill Castle. Kat and her siblings are sent to Rookskill Castle during the Blitz for…

Review: Lost in the Sun by Lisa Graff

September 20, 2016 by Cassie Leave a Comment

Review: Lost in the Sun by Lisa Graff

Trent Zimmerman killed someone. It wasn’t his fault; all he did was hit a hockey puck. He had no control over the fact that it hit the chest of a kid with an undiagnosed heart defect. But no matter how many people tell him it wasn’t his fault, the inescapable truth is that if Trent…

Review: The Killer in Me by Margot Harrison

September 6, 2016 by Claire Leave a Comment

Review: The Killer in Me by Margot Harrison

I was in the mood for a little suspense and had THE KILLER IN ME on my TBR list for a while. Finally published, I picked this one up and didn’t really want to put it down. It starts off very strong setting up Nina Barrows, and the unusual tie she seems to have to…

Review: The Improbable Theory of Ana and Zak

August 16, 2016 by Cassie Leave a Comment

Review: The Improbable Theory of Ana and Zak

The Improbable Theory of Ana and Zak was not the book I was expecting to read when I picked it up. It popped up on my recommendations on an ebook hosting site, and I thought it sounded vaguely interesting, a good read to at least pass the down time at work, but I wasn’t really…

Review: All the Feels by Danika Stone

July 14, 2016 by Claire Leave a Comment

Review: All the Feels by Danika Stone

This book is for the fangirl in all of us. Liv, a college freshman, is heartbroken after the latest film in her favourite franchise. What ensues after is her attempt to write the wrongs that the film, its star, and director have (in her mind) so obviously committed. This one is part chick-lit, part romance,…

Review: Meet Me Here by Bryan Bliss

July 11, 2016 by Sandie Leave a Comment

Review: Meet Me Here by Bryan Bliss

Everything changed because of a slap. Thomas had a plan but then Mallory slapped her boyfriend Will on graduation night. It shouldn’t have affected Thomas at all since Thomas and Mallory haven’t been best friends or even really talked to each other since before seventh grade. But it did because she bee lined for Thomas…

Review: Tell the Wind and Fire by Sarah Rees Brennan

Review: Tell the Wind and Fire by Sarah Rees Brennan

Potential unpopular opinion: I am so tired of YA dystopia. I think the market is oversaturated, and if I have to read one more novel about the spunky, special girl who has to find a way to topple to The Establishment and choose between the guys who represent The Past and The Future, I might…

Review: Creswell Plot by Eliza Wass

June 29, 2016 by Claire Leave a Comment

Review: Creswell Plot by Eliza Wass

This book was a hard one to read. At first it seemed as though it started in the middle, like I had missed something – but I persevered, and by 30 pages in I was hooked. I’ve always been fairly interested by people and lifestyles on the fringes of society – and this is where…
