Genre: YA Romance Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sunkissed is yet another example of why Kasie West is one of my “automatic buy” authors! To be honest, I don’t think I’ve ever read a book by Kasie West that I didn’t enjoy, and I’ve read all of them! Sunkissed is a lighthearted and perfect read for summertime.

Book Review: Where the Stars Sing
Genre: Dystopian, Fantasy, LGBTQIA+ Rating: ⭐ I’ll start off by saying that I rarely rate books one star, but this book was a doozy. I read an ARC of Where the Stars Sing by Aminah Fox, which is the first book in a series. It’s clear from the author’s note at the end of theContinue reading “Book Review: Where the Stars Sing”
Book Review: Foxfire in the Snow
Genre: YA Fantasy, LGBTQIA+ Rating: ⭐⭐ I really thought I was going to like this book based on the synopsis. It has a lot of good components, such as a nonbinary protagonist, an adventurous quest, and magic! Unfortunately, while the book had potential, the execution left a lot to be desired. Sorin is determined toContinue reading “Book Review: Foxfire in the Snow”
Book Review: All of Us Villains
Genre: YA Fantasy, YA Dystopian Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you’ve ever wondered what The Hunger Games would have been like when mixed with the magic from Harry Potter, look no further. These two iconic concepts collide in All of Us Villains by Amanda Foody & Christine Lynn Herman. This thrilling book, set to release on NovemberContinue reading “Book Review: All of Us Villains”
Book Review: Daisy Jones & The Six
Genre: Historical Fiction Rating: ⭐⭐⭐ This book is a fantastic example of one of the many reasons why I don’t typically read a lot of books that are popular in the book community. After hearing a lot of hype about Daisy Jones & The Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid, I begrudgingly added it to myContinue reading “Book Review: Daisy Jones & The Six”
Book Review: With You All the Way
Genre: YA Contemporary Fiction Rating: ⭐⭐⭐ One of my favorite books from last year was The How and the Why by Cynthia Hand, so when I saw that she had another book coming out this year, I immediately added it to my TBR list. While With You All the Way wasn’t as good as TheContinue reading “Book Review: With You All the Way”
Book Review: A Darker Shade of Magic Trilogy
Genre: High Fantasy Rating: ⭐⭐⭐2/3 Almost everyone who reads fantasy novels has either read or heard of this trilogy by V.E. Schwab. When A Darker Shade of Magic first came out, I was intrigued by the cover, but I did not have much free time to read, so I passed it up. When I heardContinue reading “Book Review: A Darker Shade of Magic Trilogy”
Book Review: Summer Bird Blue
Genre: YA Fiction Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐1/2 I will be the first to admit that I am not a huge fan of contemporary literature, but when The Novel Neighbor recommended books with asexual main characters, I knew they wouldn’t steer me wrong! Summer Bird Blue by Akemi Dawn Bowman was one of their recommendations, and it wasContinue reading “Book Review: Summer Bird Blue”
Book Review: Enduring Freedom
Genre: YA Fiction Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Whenever an author sets out to write a book, they usually have a goal in mind of what they want the reader to take away from it. Jawad Arash & Trent Reedy tackle an immensely emotional topic, and most certainly achieve their goals of showing readers what life was likeContinue reading “Book Review: Enduring Freedom”
Book Review: White Smoke
Genre: YA Horror Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Whenever an author ventures from their typical genre, it can either be disastrous or wonderful. When I saw that Tiffany D. Jackson wrote a horror novel, I was certainly intrigued since I adored Monday’s Not Coming. Overall, Jackson’s risk of writing a new genre paid off in my opinion becauseContinue reading “Book Review: White Smoke”
