We will not conquer our obstacles by running away from them. Speed does not matter, just that we do not stop. This series is really a lot of fun and the third instalment of the Lorien Legacies is filled with action and character development. In The Rise of Nine the… Read more »

Review: Seraphina, Rachel Hartman
I became the very air; I was full of stars. I was the soaring spaces between the spires of the cathedral, the solemn breath of chimneys, a whispered prayer upon the winter wind. I was silence, and I was music, one clear transcendent chord rising toward Heaven. I believed, then,… Read more »
Review: Kissing Shakespeare, Pamela Mingle
“As much as it hurts to admit it, I knew he was right. I would love him with all my heart, but in the end, it wouldn’t be enough. I’d long for everything I couldn’t have, and that would kill the love between us. Not right away, but someday.” I… Read more »
Review: Dark Frost by Jennifer Estep
Come on, Gypsy girl. I’m bleeding to death here, in case you haven’t noticed. At least make it worth my while and kiss me before I die. Kiss of Frost (Book 2) What can I say, I just really enjoy this series! This book is dark, the opening scene is… Read more »
Review: Cinder, Marissa Meyer

Review: Embrace, Jessica Shirvington
Did you ever think we would be anything other than unbelievable? I have had both good and bad experience with YA angel novels in the past. Firstly there is the Unearthly series by Cynthia Hand with I absolutely loved, then there are books like Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick which… Read more »
Review: Advent, James Treadwell
What started out as a book full of promise and beautiful prose, swiftly became a confusing muddle of events that left me feeling pretty disappointed by the end of the book. I wanted to like it, I truly did and in fact at the beginning I felt it held the… Read more »
Review: Girl of Fire & Thorns, Rae Carson
“Honor from death,” I snap, “is a myth. Invented by the war torn to make sense of the horrific. If we die, it will be so that others may live. Truly honorable death, the only honorable death, is one that enables life.” This book has been on my to-read list… Read more »
