Review: The Thorn and Sinking Stone by C.J Dushinski

Why Did I Read? Danger and forbidden love? The synopsis sucked me right in! My Thoughts: Basically, in this dystopian-esque world, there are four different groups (also called gangs or families) that exist and they’re all kind of enemies. The two we focus on in particular are the Daggers and the Roses. I like this concept of rivalry but with the rivaling families I guess I should’ve known that it would take a Romeo and Juliet spin. Unpopular opinion: I’m […]

Why Did I Read? I have heard so many raving things about this one! I loved mystery books when I was younger and Sherlock as the boy next door? I was hooked. My Thoughts: I really enjoyed this one! It’s really unique, it’s set in Melbourne, Australia so for me, it was interesting to be put in a different location. There were definitely some terms I wasn’t used to at first so that took a bit to be acclimated to […]

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 […]

Review: Defy by Sara B. Larson

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! […]
