    Every Exquisite Thing – Cassandra Clare

    Every Exquisite Thing by Cassandra Clare My rating: 3.5 of 5 stars Yay diverse rep! But man, Anna, you fall in love faster than a Disney character. I wanted to like Anna so much, but she just didn’t get enough development over the course of this novella (and can you really be surprised, it’s a…

  • A Deeper Love – Cassandra Clare

    A Deeper Love – Cassandra Clare

    A Deeper Love by Cassandra Clare My rating: 4.5 of 5 stars I would like to just be frustratingly vague right now: Yes, please – but also, that one part… oh yeah it’s never happened before (but we know it happens in TMI) so let’s just annoying allude to it and make everyone lusty for…

    Escaping from Houdini – Kerri Maniscalco

    Escaping from Houdini by Kerri Maniscalco My rating: 3.5 of 5 stars The Stalking Jack the Ripper series is quite hard to place for me. There are so many great moments of promise within the series, but yet somehow ends up not feeling quite right to me. I did enjoy this book the most so…

  • Learn About Loss – Cassandra Clare

    Learn About Loss – Cassandra Clare

    Learn About Loss by Cassandra Clare My rating: 4.5 of 5 stars My reaction to the story: I’m not crying. You’re crying.

  • Cast Long Shadows – Cassandra Clare

    Cast Long Shadows – Cassandra Clare

    Cast Long Shadows by Cassandra Clare My rating: 3.5 of 5 stars Too many children. Who do you belong to? I’m so confused! That is honestly my biggest qualm about this series of novellas. I don’t feel that I know any of the characters well enough yet to know their unique personalities and tell them…

    Son of the Dawn by Cassandra Clare My rating: 4 of 5 stars With the anticipation for the release of Queen of Air and Darkness in December, I’m glad that we are able to dive back into the Shadow World sooner than that. I wanted to wait to read some of these novellas until a…

  • City of Glass – Cassandra Clare (Re-Read)

    City of Glass by Cassandra Clare My rating: 4.5 of 5 stars City of Glass sent me on an emotional rollercoaster. You know characters are well written when you viscerally feel the emotions that they are experiencing, you connect with them as if they are real people and cannot help but be completed enamoured with…

  • Clockwork Princess – Cassandra Clare (Re-Read)

    Clockwork Princess by Cassandra Clare My rating: 5 of 5 stars Clockwork Princess is the stunning conclusion to Cassandra Clare’s the Infernal Devices trilogy. The pacing of the third book is much brisker than its predecessor and immediately drags you into the plot. There are also significantly more scenes with action in them, which help…
