Embrace - Jessica Shirvington

Early Review: Embrace by Jessica Shirvington

Not too long ago Sophia asked me if I would like to review a YA book- Embrace by Jessica Shirvington.  I do not read YA but since she asked so nicely I thought I could give it a try.  I said yes all the while grumbling, moaning and complaining to myself.  Young adult?  Really?  There [...]

Dearly, Departed

Review: Dearly, Departed by Lia Habel

This book was a first in many ways for me. It was my first book in the steampunk genre, which seems to have become all the rage. It was my first zombie and my first modern horror novel. And it was the first YA book I’ve read since being a YA myself. I hadn’t been [...]

Review: Touch of Frost by Jennifer Estep

I was excited when I heard Jennifer Estep was releasing a young adult, urban fantasy series. I’m willing to bet that 97.99 percent of reviews written on this book start out with that line or something very similar. That ‘s right, originality is me.

Tempting Teaser: Enclave by Ann Aguirre

I slid away from the unconscious ones, as footfalls sounded outside. They weren’t even trying to be quiet, which showed a profound disrespect for our skills.

Review: Department 19 by Will Hill

It’s not very often that I read a book labeled as YA. I dislike the drama and love triangles that seem to be a requirement of them. But a Goodreads friend of mine read this book and loved it so much that I became intrigued. I snatched it up when it was offered for review, [...]

  “Why did you spare me?” he asked. She smiled again. “I didn’t feel like killing you,” she replied. “That’s not really sparing me, is it? That’s just not feeling like it.” “Semantics.” “Not to me.” She looked away from him, inspecting her bloody fingernails, shifting her weight from one leg to the other. When [...]
