Illuminae by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff *Stephanie’s Review*
[book-info] I picked up a copy of Illuminae by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff at ALA Mid-Winter 2015. These ARCs were black and red and stated the title neatly across the cover. Truly it wouldn’t have caught my eye but it did catch my husband’s. He isn’t a big reader so I instantly wanted to…

Flawed by Cecelia Ahern *Stephanie’s Review*
[book-info] I read Flawed by Cecelia Ahern for a few reasons. One: it came as part of my OwlCrate box and I owned it whether or not I wanted to. (I wanted to!) Two: I have always meant to read more of Ahern’s work after P.S. I Love You several years ago. Her YA debut…

Tiny Pretty Things by Sona Charaipotra & Dhonielle Clayton *Stephanie’s Review*
[book-info] Before attending ALA 2016 Annual I wanted to work through some of my older ARCs. I had seen Tiny Pretty Things by Sona Charaipotra and Dhonielle Clayton float through my feeds so I picked it up. It helped that the sequel would be releasing soon. The plot for Tiny Pretty Things was alright. I’m…

Da Vinci’s Tiger by L.M. Elliott *Stephanie’s Review*
[book-info] I was taken in by Da Vinci’s Tiger by L.M. Elliott. I purchased the December 2015 OwlCrate because I wanted to give the subscription box a shot. Da Vinci’s Tiger has a rather gorgeous cover. I was interested in the time period and I was hoping for a strong story. Da Vinci’s Tiger is…

The Appearance of Annie van Sinderen by Katherine Howe *Stephanie’s Review*
[book-info] I’ve been on the hunt for a spooky story for awhile. I had read Conversion not too long ago. I hoped that The Appearance of Annie van Sinderen by Katherine Howe would deliver on the spooky. It helped that my secret sister Ashley from The Quiet Concert had read it. I didn’t get the…

Dreams of Gods & Monsters by Laini Taylor *Stephanie’s Review*
[book-info] I knew I’d be picking up Dreams of Gods & Monsters by Laini Taylor fairly quickly. This series has had cliff hanger endings and really left me wanting to know more. It’s been awhile since a series has made me want to do that. Plus it’s the end of the series so I should…

Shallow Graves by Kali Wallace *Stephanie’s Review*
[book-info] Shallow Graves by Kali Wallace instantly grabbed me as an interesting read when I read the blurb. I didn’t want to wait to read this book so I requested a copy on Edelweiss. I wasn’t disappointed. Breezy is dead. She didn’t just die though, she was murdered. Then almost a year later she comes…

Night of Cake & Puppets by Laini Taylor *Stephanie’s Review*
[book-info] Who doesn’t love Mik and Zuzana? I swear they are the best secondary characters pretty much ever. Mik and Zuzana are such fun characters. Every scene with them in Daughter of Smoke and Bone and Days of Blood and Starlight is fierce. If it’s fun and light or Karou needs defenders there is no…

Into the Still Blue by Veronica Rossi *Stephanie’s Review*
[book-info] I read Into the Still Blue by Veronica Rossi fairly quickly. As the last book in the series, I wanted to find out what happened to Aria and Perry. Through the Ever Night left me with questions and I was eager to get the answers. I enjoyed watching the character growth in Into the…

Heaven by Alexandra Adornetto *Stephanie’s Review*
[book-info] One of these days I’m going to learn that I don’t have to read everything or finish a series or even finish a book I’m not liking. One day. I’m unhealthily curious and want to know how things end up even when I’m not invested in the characters. If I remember correctly, in Heaven…
