Why Did I Read? I really loved Sharon Cameron’s The Dark Unwinding duology so I was super excited to hear about her new release! My Thoughts: Firstly, this was completely different than what I was expecting! I guess I’m not entirely sure what I expected, but I was picturing more fantasy/dystopia and it was so much more! I don’t want to go into too much detail because I think it was really fun discovering all the twists as you read for the […]

Why Did I Read? I really loved An Ember in the Ashes! I couldn’t wait to see what was going to happen to Elias and Laia and what was going to happen in the Empire.

The book starts off with our main character Lada as a young child growing up — we see that from a young age she is already fierce, strong and determined. She has a will […]

Why Did I Read? I’m all for thrillers. I like the suspense and this sounded super intriguing: I mean, missing kids, missing memories… I was excited to read this! My Thoughts: This story is told in different POVs, some in the POV of some of the returned missing kids and one from the sister of the kid that didn’t return. I thought it was a really interesting concept. However… this one didn’t really work for me. What I really need […]

Why Did I Read? I was really excited when I found out that this was going to be from Maggie’s POV! I really wanted to see what her story was. My Thoughts: I liked this one a LOT more than its predecessor! I think I just absolutely loved reading in Maggie’s POV. Magnolia Vickers has such a fiery personality and a take charge attitude — she knows what she wants and she will do what she needs to get it. […]
