My Thoughts: When I heard the synopsis for To Kill A Kingdom, I knew that it was something I needed to read ASAP! It has all the elements I look for in a fantasy: an original and innovative retelling of The Little Mermaid, a unique fantasy world (sirens!) and pirate-y elements. I wasn’t wrong in how quickly this one drew me in! Lira is the daughter of the Sea Queen and a siren – a vicious, dangerous siren and yet, there […]

It started off really well — it had a thrilling/creepy atmosphere and I was drawn into the premise. It reminded me of a mix between the movie the Village and historical Salem witch trials and I was really enjoying the feel of the story! We meet Alys […]
Why Did I Read? I really love fairy tale retellings! I’m such a sucker for them. My Thoughts: Well. My first thought after I finished was THANK GOD I’M FINALLY DONE. That’s not a good sign. I just had so many issues with this and I have come to the conclusion that C.J. Redwine is not for me. I feel rather a black sheep about this, so just know that a lot of people loved this book! It just didn’t […]
