Dad pulls up to the curb outside the international terminal. When he looks at me, his eyes aren’t so wild anymore. They almost look sad. “You ready?” “what’s going on, Dad?” I ask. It hits me that he somehow snuck me out of the house and now he’s ready to push me onto an… Read more »

{ARC Review+Giveaway} Dark Metropolis by Jaclyn Dolamore
In a sea of similar books, Dark Metropolis felt different. In a great way. Part dystopian, part thriller, part magic, part zombie/vampire(?), Dark Metropolis really had it all. The world did have a glitzy 1930’s esque feel like the summary said, but it also had a dark futuristic feel to it. I am not sure… Read more »
{Review+Giveaway} Don’t Fall by Rachel Schieffelbein
Don’t Fall is a completely contemporary retelling of Rapunzel. I have read 3 or 4 re-tellings of Rapunzel now to date and this was a really interesting one. I know the very first line of the summary states that it is a contemporary retelling, but even going into the book knowing that I wasn’t sure… Read more »
{Review} Second Star by Alyssa B. Sheinmel
As soon as I heard that this was a re-telling of Peter Pan I was excited to read Second Star. When I started to see reviews saying this was a unique take on the story, I was even more intrigued. Second Star is the story of Wendy Darling. And I have to say, this is… Read more »
{Review} Aqua by M.A. George
I really enjoyed Aqua by M.A. George. It is a young adult paranormal, but it felt different than your typical book. For one thing, romance is certainly present in the story, but it was not the driving force. And for another, the main character Layla had to work VERY hard at developing her “abilities”. She… Read more »
{Review} Black Amaranth by Sasha Hibbs
Black Amaranth is a classic young adult paranormal storyline. Girl has lost her parents and has had secrets galore kept from her. Girl turns out to have some sort of powers and goes off to fulfill some sort of destiny/prophecy. It may be cliche, but it is a formula that works for me. I enjoy… Read more »
{Review} Darkness Watching by Emma Adams
Darkness Watching is the first book in the Darkworld series. I found Darkness Watching to be well developed and a very intriguing plot line. The book is told from Ashlyn’s point of view, and she didn’t know anything about this new world where demons and shadow creatures existed, so for a lot of the novel… Read more »

{Review+Giveaway} Only With You by Cecilia Gray
I’m going to be honest with you. I wasn’t sure how much I was going to like this book before I started it. I read it because I have loved all of the other books in the Jane Austen Academy series, but this one was about Emma. And because we started the series with Lizzie,… Read more »
