4 StarsI went into “Seven Days of You” a little skeptical. The reason being, I thought it was going to be very insta-lovey and melodramatic book. But Vinesse did a great job of writing a very grounded and realistic story that could absolutely happ...
4 Stars“The Hawkweed Prophecy” is a fairly interesting book about two little girls switched at birth by magic. This book focuses on the ideals of nature vs nurture and for the most part it was enjoyable. It was interesting watching both girls grow...

3½ StarsWhen I first began the book, Jahx wasn't a character I cared for. Once we got to 352 years after the prologue and we see a different Jahx I couldn't help but love him. He was no longer insufferable but kind, gentle, patient and sexy. To his...
3½ StarsLet me just say that I am sure this is a good story. I liked what of this book I read and the only major flaw I had with it is NOT something that is “wrong” with the book. I am not saying that at all. I mean, I was annoyed by the gigantic i...

4½ StarsBefore I proceed with this review, I must first say that I really don’t like reading stories written in the present tense. Some people have no problem with them, but some people do. I am in the latter camp. This was a huge factor in my deci...
2½ StarsI don't know where to start on this one. It was up in the air for me, at points I really loved this one and at points I was left feeling confused and other points I felt like this story shouldn't end to feeling like it couldn't get over qui...

3½ StarsI decided to pick As Red as Blood up because I'm a diehard fan of retellings. And the story of Snow White is one of my favorites. But I have to say that As Red as Blood starts out as jumbled mess and doesn't get any better as the story unfo...
2½ StarsInitially I thought The War Inside was going to be a remake of The Hunger Games. The poverty and lawlessness of a dystopian future seemed to be a huge similarity between the two. However, the stories are actually quite different. I found Th...
4 StarsI have to say that I loved the names of the characters in Nearly Gone. They were new and tied into the title. I loved that there wasn't an insta-love. This book is a rare read and I will definitely be grabbing an extra copy soon. Nearly Gon...
