The Madness Underneath by Maureen Johnson *Stephanie’s Review*
[book-info] If it’s possible I think I liked this The Madness Underneath by Maureen Johnson better than the The Name of the Star! I decided that I wanted to finish this series before moving on with the Truly Devious series and I’m really happy with my decision! Johnson really expands on the possibilities of the…

Pride by Ibi Zoboi *Stephanie’s Review*
[book-info] I picked up Pride by Ibi Zoboi because Amazon recommended it to me. I had purchased another book, I can’t even remember which now and Pride was in the section of “Others Who Bought X Also Bought…”. The title and cover caught my attention so I clicked on the link. Once I read the…

Anna Dressed in Blood by Kendare Blake *Stephanie’s Review*
[book-info] With October around the corner I wanted to start getting into some of my spooky reads in my TBR. Nothing sounded spookier than Anna Dressed in Blood by Kendare Blake. Cas was a great main character. It was nice to see a male protagonist. We don’t get too many of them. I really enjoyed…

Truly Devious by Maureen Johnson *Stephanie’s Review*
[book-info] The blurb for Truly Devious by Maureen Johnson snagged me at “unsolved disappearance” and really appealed to my love of true crime. The fact that this particular disappearance is a cold case and decades old only added to the appeal. I really enjoyed Stevie and the friends that she makes at Ellingham Academy. She…

Always and Forever, Lara Jean by Jenny Han *Stephanie’s Review*
[book-info] I was so excited to finish the final installment of the Lara Jean series. I had read both To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before and P.S. I Still Love You in a pretty brief amount of time. I think I had pretty high expectations going into Always and Forever, Lara Jean by Jenny…

P.S. I Still Love You by Jenny Han *Stephanie’s Review*
[book-info] After the cliffhanger ending of To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before I knew it wouldn’t be long before I picked up P.S. I Still Love You by Jenny Han. I put one book in between to try to avoid burnout. I gobbled this one up just as quickly as I did the first.…

To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before by Jenny Han *Stephanie’s Review*
[book-info] I have no excuses. I’ve owned To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before by Jenny Han for years. Once again, I was afraid of the hype. I promise one day I will learn. I finally decided to read it once I learned Netflix was making it into a movie. I watched the trailer. I…

Cinder by Marissa Meyer *Stephanie’s Review*
[book-info] Cinder by Marissa Meyer is another long overdue book that I was prompted to read for COYER. (This one was purchased over 6 years ago!) I get nervous about books that receive a lot of hype. What if I’m the one who doesn’t like it? I’ve never been good at being an island unto…

Beastly by Alex Flinn *Stephanie’s Review*
[book-info] Beastly by Alex Flinn is a fairy tale retelling of (you’ve probably guessed it) Beauty and the Beast. I bought it quite awhile ago (eek! 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…

Haunting the Deep by Adriana Mather *Stephanie’s Review*
[book-info] I did something unusual with Haunting the Deep by Adriana Mather. I read immediately after finishing How to Hang a Witch. Guys I barely read the same genre back to back let alone the same author or series! I really was intrigued by Mather’s storytelling and I wanted more! Haunting the Deep is largely…
