Review: The Witch Hunter by Virginia Boecker

Posted July 2, 2015 by Wendy in Reviews / 6 Comments

Why Did I Read? The witches and historical fiction premise sounded so interesting! My Thoughts: When I first heard about this book, I was so excited for it because I had this phase back when I was younger where I just loved historical fiction. I also was highly interested in the Salem witch trials (I loved the play The Crucible and the book The Witch of Blackbird Pond— the latter I read when I was really young and probably started my whole phase!) […]

Why Did I Read? Are you kidding me? It’s SARAH J. MAAS. I adore her. I will read anything she writes ever and I had only been anticipating this one since she first announced it!! My Thoughts: Sarah is the QUEEN of fantasy and let me just go follow her wherever she leads. I’m serious. Sarah must sprinkle magic onto her pages because THEY ARE MAGICAL. A Court of Thorns and Roses tells the story of Feyre. It opens with her […]

Why Did I Read? I’ve been meaning to read this for so long! My Secret Sister got it for me and I read it with Racquel and Betty! My Thoughts: This is everything I love about fantasy!

When your Grace manifests, your eyes also change color — each […]

Review: Zodiac by Romina Russell

Why Did I Read? I got an ARC of this from BEA and the cover is gorgeous! The premise also sounded so interesting – sci fi with zodiac houses? Cool, right? My Thoughts: Unfortunately, I really didn’t like this book. I almost DNFed it but for some reason I kept thinking it was going to pick up. But it didn’t. Basically the main character, Rho, is thrust into a leadership position after a huge tragedy strikes, leaving thousands dead. She’s […]

Burning it Down

Posted August 27, 2014 by Wendy in Reviews / 3 Comments

Why Did I Read? It’s the long awaited third book in one of my all time FAVORITE fantasy series!! I waited for 2.5 hours in line for this ARC at BEA and I didn’t even mind the wait. My Thoughts (There will be no spoilers for Heir of Fire but there will be spoilers from the first two books!) Heir of Fire is very different from the first two books in the series. It’s quieter and focuses a lot on characterization […]
