Being a fan of gaming, of sci-fi, and of thrillers, I very much enjoyed Warcross. It took me a good 50 pages to get into the story, but once I did, I had a difficult time putting it down. Emika Chen is an orphan, barely surviving the harsh realities of being poor in New York... Continue Reading →
Book Review: A Court of Thorns and Roses Trilogy
This was a solid book. Mostly because it was unpredictable and fast-paced. I raced through the last 100 pages and started the sequel right away because I NEED to know where Maas is going. Feyre is a new-age Belle who winds up on a somewhat harrowing adventure because she shoots an arrow into the wrong... Continue Reading →

Take well-written sci-fi, fuse in some fairy tale redux, set your story in a dystopian society, cast a deadly plague and aliens on the moon into the mix, add action, adventure, and romance, and bam! Cinder. I so enjoyed this book and am thrilled that there are several other novels and shorts in the... Continue Reading →
Book Review: The Nightingale
I've read several Kristin Hannah books and am always mesmerized by her stories; her character development is impeccable, relatable, and brilliant. The Nightingale was no different. I was unable to put this book down, engaged at every turn and emotionally invested until the last page. Vianne and Isabelle Rossignol are sisters living in France during... Continue Reading →
