What if your destiny wasn't set in stone? What if you could change it? That's exactly what Ivy and Adrian are hoping for because if Destiny has it its way, Adrian is bound to betray her. And it might just crush them both.The Beautiful Ashes is the first book in a new series by Jeaniene Frost, and I truly enjoyed it. The one thing that fells weird though, is that I am so used to reading Jeaniene's books in the Cat & Bones & Vlad world, that if I hadn't known she had written Beautiful Ashes, I probably wouldn't have guessed. Don't get me...
Look at that cover! Isn't that a pretty pink cover with two people kissing? So wouldn't you think, from the cover and the tagline ("An accident forced them together. Will time tear them apart?") that this is going to be a time-travel romance? I did! But it is SO SO SO much more! And I loved it!The cover doesn't lie, per se. Bree and Finn, the main characters, are from different times. Bree...
Magda Searus is a newly widowed woman who's husband was the First Wizard. With no real magical abilities of her own, Magda is left to defend herself with her strength of will and her wits. This, the beginning of her story, takes us deep into political, societal and magical intrigue.When I first picked up this book, I had no idea what to expect from it. I enjoy high fantasy and hadn't delved into it in earnest for a while now. ...
In her Morris Award-winning and New York Times bestselling debut, Rachel Hartman took our breath away with an utterly original alternative-medieval world full of dragons, Seraphina. This novel took the literary world by storm with 8 starred reviews and appeared on numerous “Best of” the year lists. Now Random House Children’s Books is proud to announce the release of SHADOW SCALE. At last, Rachel’s eagerly awaited sequel has arrived—with an epic...
I used to read so many more paranormal romance books and I really don't know why I slowly reduced the amount of them on my to be read pile. There's just something fun and entertaining about PNR that always makes me come back for more. I read a few "Argeneau" books a few years back and I sort of lost track of the newer releases so I decided to checkout a few from the library, just to see if I would enjoy them as much as the first few books. THE ROGUE HUNTER is actually the first book of a mini-series within the larger series so for anyone new to...
You may remember SOME FINE DAY from last year, when I reviewed the title. Well, shortly after SOME FINE DAY was released, the YA Angry Robot imprint Strange Chemistry got shut down, and SOME FINE DAY had to find a new home. I'm so pleased to tell you that Kat's book was just released by Skyscape on Tuesday, with a fun new cover.Here's the scoop on SOME FINE DAY in case you need a refresher:A generation ago, continent-sized storms called...

Jenn reviewed this book when it released in 2013 and you can read her thoughts here, now it's my turn to give it a go!Jessica has had a lot on her plate since this journey started (was it really just a week ago??) and this time won't be a vacation either. It's in fact her toughest challenge yet, but she must rise and shine if she hopes to save her mate from an angry, sadistic Goddess.If I had one word to choose to describe Hot Blooded it would definitely...
WOWZA.I am kicking myself for missing this when it first came out! I saw lots of reviews of people love love loving the cover, but it didn't grab me. I don't say this often, but I was wrong. This is a fantastic book and lots of people should go read it. Good news: because I'm so very behind on this, you don't have to wait to read the sequel! You can binge-read the first two books now and be ready...

Anybody who has followed my posts over the last few months would not be surprised to see another Dresden Files book make its way into a review. This one is special: It's the last one I read of the series (until the next book in the series comes out). Reading this last may puzzle anybody familiar enough with the 15 book series. Yes, 12.5 comes before 15 but, I found this to be an excellent wrap-up for the...
I've recently become interested in fairy tale-centric stories and so FREE AGENT seemed like a good book to try. I loved the idea of a fairy godfather named Grimm and what it would be like to be traded into his employ but FREE AGENT didn't always hold my attention as much as I'd hoped. I've read some extremely positive reviews of the book, though, so perhaps my expectations were too high? Don't get me wrong, there are lots of good things...

The Storyspinner was quite an original tale and I really enjoyed it, even though it's nothing like I imagined it would be when I requested it. With an archer on the novel I really thought the main character would be an epic fighter, a Katsa-like girl with an alpha female presence and I couldn't have been farther away from the truth! Oh Johanna has quite a presence, but it's her art, her stage presence, that mesmerize anyone listening to her tales,...
Ohmygoodness did I ever LOVE this book! I know it's early in the year, but this may be a Top Ten Read of 2015. My aunt recommended this to me; I'm so lucky to have people in my life to introduce me to such great books! It's got an author as a character (H.G. Wells no less!), time travel, Victorian England.... love it!The Map of Time is told in three parts--or episodes--that all come together beautifully in the end. It felt like Felix J. Palma was conducting a gorgeous, moving symphony of a story. He was able to...
This book is a retelling of the now classic story or humans first contact with alien intelligent life. Told from the military perspective, many familiar tropes are used to tell the story. We have the old warrior burned out from many years of hard use. There is also the young warrior eager to make his way up the ladder and wield authority in the way he believes it should be done. We have star crossed lovers (literally)...
I'm having a love/hate relationship with this book. There are so many things that I loved about this book, yet it still left me unsatisfied with the direction the series is taking. I never thought I would say this, but after waiting for what feels like forever, Burned has left me disappointed.First, I love that Mac is back! I really missed her in the previous book, which was all about Dani. Don't get me wrong, Dani can be a fun a quirky character,...
Yelena, once so scared of magic grew dependent on her powers, and she realizes it when they are suddenly gone. A weird attack rendered her powerless and feeling oddly vulnerable. How did she live all those years so defenseless before she discovered her powers? She must keep it a secret though because many of her enemies would jump on this opportunity to put an end to her life.I have been waiting for years for another Yelena & Valek book and I...

[I'm writing this post very quickly due to work commitments so please don't mistake my brevity for anything other than a lack of time. THE DRAGON CONSPIRACY is a wonderful book from one of my favourite authors and I wish that I could do it justice with this post.]With THE DRAGON CONSPIRACY, Lisa Shearin has gotten even more awesome! (I didn't think this was possible.) I was thrilled with the first book in the SPI Files and Shearin's done a remarkable...
I want to flip things around in this review and open by talking about the great narration of Forever. I listened to this on CD, and I'm so glad I did! First, there's four narrators. Each of the main characters are read by a different person, so it's easy to immediately identify which point of view the reader is hearing. And here's the big, exciting part: Maggie Stiefvater herself reads the part of Grace! She does a great job. How cool is it that you get to have the author right there, reading...
This book is original and intelligent on so many levels that I really hope this review will incite at least a few people to read it. Personally, I didn't know what to expect when I picked it up. I thought a science fiction novel would be a nice change of pace, however, it's important to note that even if it does have its place in science fiction, it can also be categorized as a mystery thriller.I love the tag line that's on my copy. On the cover...
CURSED has a great blend of urban fantasy and procedural, with a nice helping of romance on the side. The first book in a new series from the writing duo of Jeanne C. Stein and Samantha Sommersby, CURSED employs Greek mythology but with a creative twist: the series centres on Emma Monroe, one of three Sirens cursed by Demeter for letting Hades make off with Persephone a long, long time ago. Even though they got her back, Demeter cursed Emma and her...
