Where Dreams Descend by Janella Angeles is the first book I’ve DNF’d (Did not finish) in a long, long time.
I was gifted an ARC of Where Dreams Descend from NetGalley, so thank you to Wednesday Books and Macmillan for the opportunity to read and review this book.
Let’s hope straight to the review.
Let’s talk …
I requested Sisters of the Perilous Heart by Sandra L. Vasher from NetGalley on a whim because the premise sounded interesting. It was fairly decent tale, and I’ll tell you all about it in a little bit.
Have you ever seen a Zonkey?
A Zorse?
A Liger?
Some of these animals sound like pure myth, but no one would dare …
Reading Morning Star by Pierce Brown is kind of like watching America’s Got Talent.
Have you ever watched that show?
My wife and I are big fans.
Arguably, my favorite part of the whole show is the beginning. I love watching the auditions because some of the funniest moments in AGT are the awful people who try out.
The second …
I just finished We Are Blood and Thunder by Kesia Lupo.
They say first impressions are everything.
Whether you realize it or not, you cast judgement on anything and everything at first glance.
We see the outside of a restaurant that looks run down and we assume the food mustn’t be any good. We meet a new person who’s overdressed …
“I let out the breath I didn’t know I’d been holding.”
House of Earth and Blood (Crescent City) by Sarah J. Maas was an epic thrill ride from cover to cover.
Did you ever play that tunnel game as a kid where you try to hold your breath from start to finish?
I just hope you didn’t try doing it …
All the Stars and Teeth by Adalyn Grace was my latest read. I literally just put the book down and immediately picked up my laptop.
Have you ever been to a funeral for a loved one?
I imagine most of us have.
You know, that realization that it’s over. The increased pace in your heart, that lost feeling that might …
If you’re here, you just finished reading Crescent City Book 1 and now you want more books like House of Earth and Blood.
We’re two days post release for Sarah J. Maas’s latest work, House of Earth and Blood. I’m 20 chapters in and loving every minute of it.
It’s a big honking book isn’t it?
I’ve got a …
Last night I finished Golden Son by Pierce Brown, Book 2 of the Red Rising Saga, and wow what a ride.
Before we go on, you should read my review of Red Rising first if you have yet to read any book in this series.
But speaking of rides.
I love rollercoasters.
I’m not HUGE aficionado, and I hate …
I want to start off by thanking HarperCollins for the opportunity to review an ARC of Crush the King by Jennifer Estep.
If you haven’t read her earlier books, I’d recommend first checking out my reviews for Kill the Queen and Protect the Prince.
I consider myself a bit of a milkshake connoisseur.
Given the choice between cookies, …
I recently finished Sorcery of Thorns by Margaret Rogerson.
Surprises.
Who doesn’t love surprises? Am I right?
That sudden rush of a adrenaline when you realize something special is going on. That bursting through the seams excitement you get as you open the present or discover the unexpected gift.
Surprises come in all shapes and sizes.
A bar of chocolate, …
