Review: The Conspiracy of Us by Maggie Hall

Review: The Conspiracy of Us by Maggie Hall

Why Did I Read? It sounded really interesting! The synopsis grabbed my attention with the talk of a “dangerous society”. My Thoughts: This is a solid example of how sometimes audiobooks just don’t work well for certain books. There are secret groups, two in particular that oppose each other. The Circle and the… crap I don’t remember the name of the other group but I kept getting the two confused. And that was a problem because I couldn’t keep straight who […]

I am probably the last blogger ever to have FINALLY read this series. I decided to do it for my June Summer of Series Challenge and I’m SO happy I did! I binged it in a matter of days! I completely get what the fuss is about because the story sucked me in and I loved it so. The premise of the series is that these aether storms came and basically wiped out most of the world — except for […]

For my re-read reviews for the Re-read Challenge hosted by Kelly and Hannah, I’ll be adopting Kelly’s reread review format! When I First Read: I remember it vividly.

What I Remember: A sweeping epic romance that also made me sob uncontrollably every single time that I reread. Why I Wanted to Reread: It’s just […]

This one was really interesting because I really wasn’t sure what to expect! The premise of The Naturals is that the FBI has a group of teens that are “naturals” at certain things. (To be honest, this part confused me a tad because I was like, are these abilities supernatural? Answer: no, they aren’t.) Cassie, our MC, is a natural profiler. She gets recruited and meets a cast of other teens who also have abilities such as a natural liar, natural with […]

Audiobook Review: Emmy & Oliver by Robin Benway

Audiobook Review: Emmy & Oliver by Robin Benway

The Sound: I thought the narrator Phoebe Strole was fantastic. I feel like all the emotion was transferred so well into Emmy’s voice! I loved listening to this one. The Story: This story is so interesting because the situation is just so.. well, messed up. Emmy and Oliver were best friends as kids and next door neighbors — until Oliver’s dad kidnapped him and everyone’s lives changed. Now, ten years later, he’s back. Everyone wants him to hate his dad […]
