This one follows many characters we’ve met before: Christopher, Cora, Sumi, but it focuses on Jack, one of the twins and one of the most popular characters in the series. Jack returns to the School for Wayward Children in a lightning storm and nowContinue reading “Come Tumbling Down”

All We Left Behind
All right, one of my most anticipated reads for the year down, let’s get into what I thought of it. All We Left Behind is about two teenagers living on Maine Island, Canada in the late 1930s and 1940s. Hayden, a popular, attractive, boy and Chidori, a shy, beautiful, kind, girl. They’ve been friends theirContinue reading “All We Left Behind”
The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle
A murder mystery, an isolated setting, tons of characters to keep track of, and a Groundhog’s Day-esque setting where our main character awakens in a new body every night. And it’s a damn good time. Going into this, I knew the premise, knew that it would be slightly confusing, and knew that there would beContinue reading “The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle”
The Prince and the Dressmaker
Whether or not you want to cry is irrelevant, Jen Wang is going to make you shed a tear regardless. The story she tells in The Prince and the Dressmaker is one of two people, both struggling in their lots in life for very different reasons. One, a poor seamstress with big dreams but noContinue reading “The Prince and the Dressmaker”
Lock Every Door
My first venture in Riley Sager and I have to admit, I’m intrigued. The writing does such a great job of setting an eery mood, and the characters, for the most part, feel very natural and real. I’m torn on this one, I liked it a lot, but also I feel a trend happening thatContinue reading “Lock Every Door”
American Royals
I have been on the fence about this book since I saw it. It felt like something I would enjoy, but I was hesitant about how the story would be told and what the story was. This was my first Katharine McGee book and I can tell why people have loved her previous books, theContinue reading “American Royals”
All Eyes On Us
A modern young adult thriller that will give you Liane Moriarty vibes but it’s better because it’s gay. Gossip Girl meets The Husband Secret and you have All Eyes on Us by Kit Frick. I genuinely enjoyed this suspense novel. I don’t normally like young adult suspense only because it never goes very far, andContinue reading “All Eyes On Us”
Most Ardently
A modern retelling of Pride and Prejudice following Elisa Benitez and her four sisters as they navigate their mother’s wishes for them to marry rich, school, and for Elisa especially: the incredibly rude and irritating classmate: Darcy Fitzgerald. A big thanks to Entangled Publishing for letting me read this in advance in return for anContinue reading “Most Ardently”
You Must Not Miss
Katrina Leno really took a dark turn after Summer of Salt (another favorite book of this year) with You Must Not Miss. This story is dark and creepy and violent. in the best way. Personally, I find revenge stories very satisfying and intriguing and Magpie really takes it to the next level. Magpie is aContinue reading “You Must Not Miss”
These Witches Don’t Burn
A new Witchy series to get you ready for October and Halloween in the years to come. I was expecting this book to be more light hearted than it actually was, and to be quite honest, I don’t mind how dark it was. In fact, I’m really looking forward to the next installment of it.Continue reading “These Witches Don’t Burn”
