I’m not putting in the synopsis for these two because it may be spoiler-y for those who haven’t read the previous books.

Every single person there is there because they’ve taken their own life and now that they’re in that city, they become […]

So, I was too busy at the end of last semester to catch up on my reviews and then I was doing so much stuff over break that I was still too busy! Anyway, I decided to do these as mini reviews so you get 3 reviews of 3 different genres today! YA fantasy, NA contemp and YA contemp. Something for everyone! So this started out pretty interesting to me. I was curious about the Circle and what was going […]
