“In the end you can’t always choose what to keep. You can only choose how you let it go.” Before I start on Crossed, a little bit of background on my thoughts on Matched, the first book in this trilogy. I read a lot of mixed reviews for Matched, and… Read more »

Review: The Selection, Kiera Cass
Maxon lowered his lips to mine and gave me the faintest whisper of a kiss. Something about the tentativeness of it made me feel beautiful. Without a word, I could understand how excited he was to have this moment, but then afraid at the same time. And deeper than any… Read more »
Review: The Hunt, Andrew Fukuda
I remember the Hunt from ten years ago. How for months afterward I didn’t dare fall asleep because of the nightmares that would invade my mind: hideous images of an imagines Hunt, wet and violent and full of blood. Horrific cries of fear and panic, the sound of flesh ripped… Read more »
Review: Masque of the Red Death, Bethany Griffin
“And I’m falling in love with you,” he whispers. “But I would throw you in the water and watch crocodiles tear you to bits, if I thought that doing so would accomplish my goals. Do. Not. Trust. Anyone. Especially me.” The premise of this book really drew me in. It… Read more »
Review: The Immortal Rules, Julie Kagawa
We are vampires, Kanin had told me, on one of our last nights together. It makes no difference who we are, where we came from. Princes, Masters and rabids alike, we are monsters, cut off from humanity. They will never trust us. They will never accept us. We hide in… Read more »

You will always be a monster – there is no turning back from it. But what kind of monster you become is entirely up to you. I loved The Immortal Rules and am excited to say that The Eternity Cure is a fantastic, solid sequel. You pick up from where… Read more »
Review: Parallel, Lauren Miller
Parallel lives/universes seem to be an “it” thing in 2013 with at least 3 YA releases coming to mind and I for one am not the least bit disappointed because I LOVE the concept of alternative realities and fringe sciences. Parallel definitely didn’t disappoint either I absolutely loved it and read… Read more »
Review: Gameboard of the Gods, Richelle Mead
We’re pieces on a gameboard, Dr. March, and some of us are more powerful than others. You. Me. Her. We’re the ones the gods want. We’re the ones they’re fighting over. I was so excited to read this book it sounded right up my alley with its sci fi/dystopian genre… Read more »
