Earlier this year I read and loved Amour Amour by this writing team. I enjoyed the story, characters, setting and romance in that book so much that I jumped at the chance to read an early copy of their newest book, The Raging Ones. I thought this book would be great because it fell into the category of young adult instead of a new adult […]
Ruin and Rising by Leigh Bardugo *Alexa’s Review*

This is usually a book that I would not like that much because of these […]
Cinder by Marissa Meyer *Stephanie’s Review*

It’s been 5 1/2 years!) and thanks to COYER I thought it was time for me to read it. Alex Flinn sticks pretty close to the traditional tale. Kyle Kingsbury plays the role of Beast and Lindy fills the role […]
