The Storm of Echoes by Christelle Dabos {Book Review}

This series has been one I've followed since finding on Instagram back with book one, and it was amazing to see it slowly gain interest among the bookstagrammers and book tubers . Fantasy series tend to feel pretty unique since they explore worlds other than their own, but Christelle Dabos created one with this series...

Kingdoms of Sand & Sky Series by Sarah Henning {Books 1-2 Review}

During this last year I've mostly read books that were already well on my list for a while, so this series is unique in that I bought it based on the covers and the hype. I know, I really could've set myself up for misery with those as factors. I'll mostly focus on book one...

The Bone Shard Daughter by Andrea Stewart {Book Review}

I've been meaning to/working on diversifying my reading more this year. Mainly, I wanted to add more Fantasy titles to my reading lists and explore unique worlds. Bone Shard Daughter had already done its rounds on Instagram and Youtube, but I don't think I was actually influenced by the opinions there, at least not initially....

Mr. Darcy’s Refuge by Abigail Reynolds {Book Review}

When fan fiction is brought up around authors it's either completely rejected, accepted, or in some cases how some authors actually start out. We've all heard about Twilight, or the Mortal Instruments and their fan fiction roots, but what about fully fan fiction stories published on the market? Mr. Darcy's Refuge is one among a...

Chain of Iron by Cassandra Clare {Book Review}

I feel like Cassandra Clare books are always a highlight of my year in terms of reading. They are a mix of major anticipation, crazy emotions, and never ending nostalgia. I know there will be a day when we won't have more books in the Shadowhunters' universe, but for now I'm always excited for a...

Updating My Rating System

One of the pieces of my goal to reading deeper and reviewing better is tweaking my rating system, or rather the elements that factor into how a book can make it to a five star level for me. It's definitely a hard one to take on since I have previously thought of myself as a...

The Silvered Serpents by Roshani Chokshi {Book Review}

Roshani Chokshi's writing is one of the few that I was quicker to find out about in the reading community, unlike a host of books and authors we've seen me slowly jumping on the band wagon with. I actually began reading her books after the sequel to the Star Touched Queen came out, and really...

A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire by Jennifer L Armentrout {Book Review}

I picked up From Blood and Ash in January thinking I'd see what all the hype was about, but little did I know I'd get hooked as fast as I did. I finished the book pretty fast, and then found myself waiting for this book to arrive. I always love a good romance in my...

Lowdown On…Romance in Other Genres

This one is a little different to the typical discussion topics that I've seen, mainly in the fact that this isn't from the community, but an observation turned question in my head. Romance as a genre is an amazing category of books that in all honesty gets way too much criticism and judgement from non-readers....

From Blood and Ash by Jennifer L Armentrout {Book Review}

There are a lot of books that I am behind of in the hyped category, so yes I am just now getting to this series and Jennifer L Armentrout altogether. When it comes to the Fantasy Romance genre I'm actually surprised it took me this long to finally jump on board and give this series...
