It's always rare for me to pick up a contemporary book and love it. The last one that did that was They Both Die at the End earlier this month and that one made me sob. Starfish was emotional for different reasons. Kiko Himura has always had a hard time saying exactly what she’s thinking. With … Continue reading Starfish ★★★★☆

I'm a 20 something YA/Fantasy author looking to spread my stories around the world. My strengths seem to lie in procrastination, puppies and puns. Apparently alliteration as well.
They Both Die at the End ★★★★★
Holy mother of feels, y'all. I was warned this one had a lot of heart-smashing, toe-curling feels to dish out, and even thought I knew what was going to happen (because, regardless of how hard you hope, the title tells you everything you need to know about the ending) I still cried like a baby. On … Continue reading They Both Die at the End ★★★★★
September TBR
It's my birthday month, so I'm going to try and not buy myself a ton of new books as a birthday present. But I am going to finish Melissa Grey's series with it's final book, The Savage Dawn and finally start Leigh Bardugo's Six of Crows (only because I've been thinking of writing a heist fantasy). And … Continue reading September TBR
Mask of Shadows – ★★★★☆
Mysterious and tense, Mask of Shadows delivered on almost every promise it had given. I was pulled in by the characters and Linsey Miller’s writing was thrilling and poetic. Plus the representation of genderfluid and other queer identities was everything that fantasy books have been missing. And yet… I Needed to Win. They Needed to … Continue reading Mask of Shadows – ★★★★☆
August Writing Update
Howdy lovelies! I've been getting into the grove of things again and I'm only panicking a little because my first packet is due next week! Yikes! I've been working on a few different things all summer, namely my YA Fantasy and a YA Paranormal? Urban Fantasy? What would you call a book that happens when Buffy meets Hocus Pocus … Continue reading August Writing Update
August TBR
Posting my TBR halfway through the month still counts! Just like I've been working on Diving Eden and Girls Made of Snow and Glass for far too long...
ARC Roundup | August 2017
Time for round 2 of my ARC Roundup! I want to share the ARCs I've requested and my excitement to read them! Starfish Akemi Dawn Bowman September 26th, 2017 Kiko Himura has always had a hard time saying exactly what she’s thinking. With a mother who makes her feel unremarkable and a half-Japanese heritage she … Continue reading ARC Roundup | August 2017

Blog Updates I'll try to maintain a steady posting schedule, at least twice weekly, with updates, book reviews and more ARC … Continue reading August Updates
Zero Repeat Forever – ★★★★☆
Pre-order Zero Repeat Forever here! When the apocalypse comes and the invading Nahx destroy civilization, Raven struggles to survive with her friends in a world that’s slowly burning. A dark and lonely sci-fi story, Zero Repeat Forever was enthralling—but also a little disappointing. He has no voice, or name, only a rank, Eighth. He doesn’t … Continue reading Zero Repeat Forever – ★★★★☆
Taking A Break
These past few days have been incredibly hard on my family and myself. Dealing with loss is not easy, and especially watching it happen to someone very close to you is even harder. I'll be taking a short break from blogging and from social media for a few weeks. I'm flying out to Poland to … Continue reading Taking A Break
