Review: The Tyrant’s Daughter by J.C. Carleson

I’m not very into politics. I have a tendency to stay out of strongly political conversations. But when Netgalley emailed me about this one, I was intrigued by the point of view of a girl smack dab in the middle of all of this. I decided to check it out and I’m glad I did! In The Tyrant’s Daughter, Laila along with her six year old brother and mother have fled their home after the murder of her father. In the […]

I normally am not a fan of story retellings in a different POV because I mean, you’ve already read the story so you know what happens. However, Wait for You is one of my all time favorite new adult reads and Cam Hamilton a top book boyfriend. So, obviously I had to read this. And while it tells the same story, there are new scenes and it was so good you guys!! Technically this is considered a novella. Goodreads tells me […]

So, I was really excited to read this one. I mean, it’s a fantasy, with a girl who’s been pretending to be a boy this whole time. Not to mention, she’s supposedly an awesome fighter, on the prince’s guard and basically sounds all sorts of awesome. It definitely made me think of Mulan – pretending to be a boy, in the army, you can see where I get that – and it really had all the markings of something amazing! […]

So, I thought I was going to hate Dirty Red. I mean, I almost gave the Opportunist 2 stars and this one was going to feature holy freaking LEAH – who I hate more than words can describe. I felt like once I started reading I would want to tear my hair out (and hers). I was wrong actually. I found her story fascinating. The sequel to The Opportunist is written from Leah’s POV. Leah is a bitch — and she […]

For virtual book club, Betty, Chelsea, Racquel and I were going to read Wrecked — it was read now on netgalley! There’s a hot guy, apparently an MMA fighter, and the cover displays some nice abs and what Betty taught us were “penis pointers”. This was hilarious and it was probably the bright spot in reading this book. The book starts off with Lorrie about to start up at college again after having to take off a year. Her parents […]
