So clearly, the title of this post is a major spoiler: I’m giving all these books five stars. No surprises here, I’m just putting my cards out on the table right off the bat. So maybe the conclusion of the reviews won’t shock you, but I still wanted to talk about these three books on…
Book Review: Whisper of the Tide by Sarah Tolcser
So if you’ve literally ever been on my blog or on my bookstagram, you’re probably pretty well aware that I seriously love Song of the Current by Sarah Tolcser (if you haven’t read my full review of that book yet, click here to check it out). And I mean love. I love the characters, the…
Mini Reviews: A Graveyard Visible, All the Little Lights, Unbury Carol, & More!
It’s time for some mini book reviews! These aren’t as long and deeply detailed as some of my full-length reviews where I basically just rave (orrr sometimes rant), but I still have things to say! Let’s think of these as the puppy version of reviews whereas the individuals are the full grown dogs. I don’t…
Book Review: The Hazel Wood by Melissa Albert
I’m back! And I’m back with a vengeance, because this review has been a long time coming and I have a lot to say, and some of it may come across a little…erm…let’s say “strong-willed”. Much like the main character of this book, actually. The Hazel Wood is a contemporary fantasy novel by Melissa Albert…
Book Review: Ready Player One by Ernest Cline
Ready Player One is a pretty popular (okay, that’s the understatement of the year—it’s hugely popular) dystopian sci-fi novel by Ernest Cline. The book is set in the year 2045, in a world in which many of the problems we are already starting to see today have come to a head—overcrowding/overpopulation, poverty, food shortages, gas…
Book Review: Bird Box by Josh Malerman
I initially started seeing Bird Box around the bookstagram-phere (not a thing, you say? Well, it is now. I just made it up) quite a few months ago. I think it was a Book of the Month book back in the spring and maybe that’s why so many people seemed to be getting their hands…
Book Review: Bonfire by Krysten Ritter
If you’ve been floating around the bookish community over the past few months, there’s a pretty good chance you’ve already heard of Bonfire. But in case you haven’t, let’s recap: Bonfire is a suspense/psychological thriller novel by Krysten Ritter, who, prior to penning this novel, was best known for being an actress in shows like…
Book Review: Spellbook of the Lost & Found by Moira Fowley-Doyle
I usually try to be at least somewhat eloquent and, at the very least, coherent in my book reviews, but this book just made me want to yell OH MY GOD EVERYONE READ THIS NOW. Of course, I totally understand that you may want to know a bit more than that, so don’t worry. I…
Book Review: Emma in the Night by Wendy Walker
Eep. I have some thoughts about this one. Emma in the Night is a psychological thriller by Wendy Walker that centers on the disappearance of Cass and Emma Tanner. Three years ago, the two sisters both mysteriously disappeared. Now, Cass shows back up without Emma telling a story about the two sisters being held against…
Book Review: Disappearance at Devil’s Rock by Paul Tremblay
Paul Tremblay has an impeccable talent for blending difficult real life situations with the paranormal in a way that makes you question whether you’re more afraid of the unknown or of the horrible acts that human beings commit against each other, and Disappearance at Devil’s Rock is another excellent display of that skill. This novel…
