    The Wicked King – Holly Black

    The Wicked King by Holly Black My rating: 4.5 of 5 stars While I enjoyed the Cruel Prince, I did have some issues with it but as I was reading it I could see the potential of the series – the Wicked King started to fulfill that potential. I enjoyed the second book immensely. There…

    Kingdom of Ash – Sarah J Maas

    Kingdom of Ash by Sarah J. Maas My rating: 4.5 of 5 stars Kingdom of Ash is the seventh and final book in the Throne of Glass series.

  • Evermore – Sara Holland

    Evermore – Sara Holland

    Evermore by Sara Holland My rating: 3.5 of 5 stars Everless was such a unique concept and I could not wait to get to the second book in the series. I loved the book and was also utterly confused by it because it felt like a completely different story than the first book in the…

    Reign of the Fallen – Sarah Glenn Marsh

    Reign of the Fallen by Sarah Glenn Marsh My rating: 3.5 of 5 stars Reign of the Fallen throws readers into a world of magic where the color of your eyes can determine what magic you may have. That being said, the author tells us that very few are able (or willing) to study and…

    The Hogwarts Collection by J.K.

    Circling the Sun by Paula McLain My rating: 3.5 of 5 stars Circling the Sun is a historical fiction novel about the life of Beryl Markham. As this was only on my radar because it was the book for the adult reading group at my library this month and I was required to read it…

  • Every Exquisite Thing – Cassandra Clare

    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.

  • 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…
