Teen Titans: Beast Boy – Kami Garcia
Teen Titans: Beast Boy by Kami Garcia My rating: 4.5 of 5 stars As much as I love superheroes, I never really read any of the Teen Titans stuff nor did I watch more than a few episodes of the show. I honestly didn’t know what to expect and wasn’t sure if I would enjoy…

Kingsbane – Claire Legrand
Kingsbane by Claire Legrand My rating: 4.5 of 5 stars I loved the first book in the Empirium series, Furyborn by Claire Legrand. I also loved Kingsbane, but for very different reasons.

King of Fools by Amanda Foody My rating: 4.5 of 5 stars King of Fools by Amanda Foody is the second book in the Shadow Game series. Although I really enjoyed Ace of Shades, it was King of Fools that had me completely invested in the story of Enne and Levi, New Reynes, and the…

Long Way Down – Jason Reynolds
Long Way Down by Jason Reynolds My rating: 4.5 of 5 stars As a reader of predominantly fantasy and science fiction, Long Way Down was quite outside my general realm of reading. It is a book written in verse, which is a style that I haven’t read since high school. That is also exactly the…
