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 ★★★★★

Review: Labyrinth Lost 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Give me a book about kickass magic wielding ladies set in an incredibly built world, and I'll fall in love. And I fell head over heels into a portal leading to Los Lagos. Zoraida Córdova's Labyrinth Lost was the type of book where, had I read it as an actual teenager, I would have reread it every … Continue reading Review: Labyrinth Lost 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Review: The Wolf in the Attic ★☆☆☆☆
The Wolf in the Attic by Paul Kearney is the long winded tale of Anna, a Greek refugee living in London with her father in the early 20th century. There was exactly one exciting, plot driven scene in the first quarter of the book and everything else is countless pages of details, descriptions and character … Continue reading Review: The Wolf in the Attic ★☆☆☆☆
Review: Akarnae ★★☆☆☆
I always thought I loved portal fantasy stories; after all, I did spend ten years writing one, but Akarnae proved that I did not love portal fantasies as much as I thought I did. Dreading her first day at a new school, Alex is stunned when she walks through a doorway and finds herself stranded in … Continue reading Review: Akarnae ★★☆☆☆

Review: The Lie Tree ★★★★☆
I'm always enamored by girls in stories that seem innocent and invisible but use that to their advantage to carve their own path -- which is exactly what Faith Sunderly does in The Lie Tree by Frances Hardinge. It's impossible to put down this historical mystery, set just after the advent of Darwin's On The … Continue reading Review: The Lie Tree ★★★★☆
Review: The Vanishing Girl ★★☆☆☆
The Vanishing Girl by Laura Thalassa promised to be exciting and thrilling, with adventure and teleporting girls, but it ended up being creepy and disappointing. Every night after Ember Pierce falls asleep, she disappears. She can teleport anywhere in the world—London, Paris, her crush’s bedroom—wherever her dreams lead her. Ten minutes is all she gets, and once time’s … Continue reading Review: The Vanishing Girl ★★☆☆☆
Review: The Citadel of the Sky ★★☆☆☆
I was intrigued right away by The Citadel of the Sky by Chrysoula Tzavelas. A fierce warrior princess setting out to defeat a great evil with a flaming sword. Sounds awesome, right? I thought so too. But things never turn out how we hope they will, do they? Her (not very) Serene Highness Princess Tiana tries … Continue reading Review: The Citadel of the Sky ★★☆☆☆

I read Wind Catcher by Jeff Altabef and Erynn Altabeff for free in exchange for an honest review at netgalley.com Spoilers below the cut! I was very excited to start this book; the main character, Juliet Stone, is Native American and is caught up in a strange series of events and learns she has special powers. … Continue reading Wind Catcher Review – ★★☆☆☆
