Review I’m trying something new this review as I’ve waited too long, I think, to write my review. The Rose Society is the second book in Marie Lu’s The Young Elites series, and picks up not long after the first novel. Adelina and her sister have fled Kenettra in the hopes of finding other Young Elites to build an […]
Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish, and this week’s Top Ten Tuesday topic is “Top Ten Most Anticipated Releases For The Second Half Of The Year.” Most of these books are a part of series I’m already reading (Throne of Glass, The Bourbon Kings), but a few are sequels to […]
“Love is a force unto itself, sayyidi. For love, people consider the unthinkable…and often achieve the impossible. I would not sneer at its power.” I received a copy of The Wrath & the Dawn last year when I attended the Romantic Times convention. It was the hot, “must-read” book at the time, yet I somehow put off reading […]
Sean Danker’s Admiral is a tense psychological thriller set in deep space. While the pacing is slow, I was never bored as the pace was reminiscent of Alien. Four people wake up to find they’re alone on a ship in some unknown place, and the crew is dead. The protagonist is labeled to be the Admiral, but it’s […]

Some books like Half Lost and Morning Star I’m waiting for with bated breath, while others (Winner’s Kiss) I’m anticipating as an end to a series I […]
I was overjoyed when I first learned author J.R. Ward was going to create a spin-off to her popular The Black Dagger Brotherhood series. She didn’t disappoint. Blood Kiss, book 1 in Ward’s new Black Dagger Legacy series picks up the story from BDB’s Shadows. A new character, Paradise, decides to join the re-vamped training program despite her Glymera upbringing. To counteract the main […]
Why I’m Waiting I’ve been hooked on Sally Green’s Half Bad Trilogy ever since I first cracked open Half Bad. Over the course of two books I’ve read about a young witch, Nathan, who’s been persecuted for his parentage. While it’s not his fault he’s the product of a White Witch and a Black Witch, […]
The Good…: J.R. Ward returns to fans with a brand new series. This time instead of vampire warriors, Ward has decided to write a contemporary romance set in the upper echelons of Kentucky society. When I first learn Ward would be writing a series set in the South around a family of heirs to a […]
