Book Review: To All The Boys I Loved Before (Reread)

To All The Boys I've Loved Before  Series: To All The Boys I've Loved Before #1  Author: Jenny Han Published: April 15th, 2014 by Simon & Schuster  Pages: 355 My Rating:  ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ But now that I think about it, that seems to be all I’ve ever wanted. To be somebody’s and for them to be mine.   Even if she doesn't know the last one, Lara Jean is a hopeless romantic, shy, quirky, and strong-willed. When Lara Jean loves someone, she doesn’t tell them but writes them a love letter. It’s easier to play it safe, to let her feelings pour out onto paper. She holds nothing back; why should she?

Kindle Unlimited Book Review: The Pack by Kristin Coley

  The Pack Author: Kristin Coley Pages: 232 Published: August 31st 2018  Source: Kindle Unlimited  Rating: 3.5 Stars Author's Website Now and again, I get an urge for a book that gives me Twilight feels. I fell in love with Twilight before it became the "must-read" book in the late 2000s. The love I had for Twilight will never be replicated because it's what gave me my passion for reading, but now and again, I'll find a book that has the same themes and atmosphere Twilight had, and it takes me back.      This book gives me if Bella would have fallen in love with Sam feels. In The Pack, the wolves are the kids that seem untouchable. Everyone in town knows there's something strange about this group of people, but no one seems to know precisely what makes them different. The kids at school call them "The Pack" because they seem so loyal to their clique that they don't have much to do with anyone else. The group is so exclusive that no one seems to b...

Review: Becoming Alpha by Aileen Erin

Title: Becoming Alpha  Author: Aileen Erin  Genre: Paranormal Fantasy  Pages: 267 Goodreads Overall Rating: 4.11 Published:  December 17th, 2013 by Ink Monster, LLC   My Rating:  I can’t do that. I can’t turn my emotions off and on like that. I’m either all in or all out. And if you can’t do that—if I don’t come first, then for God’s sake, leave me alone. Becoming Alpha is the true definition of YA paranormal fantasy and I devoured it. Erin took troupes that are known in YA and ran with them in fun, plausible, and exciting ways while taking her own spin on them. I sped through this book and right after I downloaded the next book in the series because I couldn't wait for the two-day shipping of the physical book.  At the beginning of the book, we meet our main character Tessa and her family. Tessa has an unusual gift and it has marked her as the odd girl out at and causing her to feel isolated. With her family...

Review: Keeper

  Keeper Series: Keeper Duology #1  Author: Kim Chance  Pages: 409  Published: January 30th 2018  Publisher: Flux books/North Star Editions  Chance writes a contemporary fantasy that is laced with secretes, dark magic, and a family that throughout generations have had the power and courage to be the worlds saving grace.  I have always loved a well crafted witch read, and this contemporary fantasy did not disappoint! We follow Lainey who is a very straight laced student who relays on scientific facts, and sensibility. She has lacer focus on her main priority, acing the SAT. Lainey's life quickly takes a turn when the unordinary starts to happen, and even her beloved science can't explain it away. With the help of her comic obsessed best friend Maggie, and a cocky fighter named Ty, Lainey learns more about who she truly is, and the journey she is about to embark on. Keeper was paced wonderfully and was hard to put down! After lea...
