Author: Rosalyn Eves

Series: Yes - Book #1 of the Blood Rose Rebellion series.

Cover: I really really like the cover. The disintegrating roses and them turning into stone looks so amazing. Beautiful cover!

Rating: 3/5 I actually enjoyed this book a bit more than I thought I would. It wasn't "AMAZING" but it was interesting enough for me to finish it and not mind reading the next book of the series. 

 

Book Review: The Caged Queen by Kristen Ciccarelli

Author: Kristen Ciccarelli
Series: Yes- Book #2 in the Iskari series.
Cover: Love the cover of this book too! I have the series on my shelf and I cannot stop looking at them all. I just love their design so much.
Rating: 4/5 I enjoyed this book, but not as much as The Last Namsara. I still think Ciccarelli has a beautiful writing style, but the story wasn't as spicy as the first book. That being said, I can't wait to read the third book!

Book Review: The Last Namsara by Kristen Ciccarelli

Author: Kristen Ciccarelli

Series: Yes - Book #1 in the Iskari series.

Cover: I love covers that have hints of gold. I think it brings subtle elegance the the cover. Seeing the covers of the rest of the series, I think this gray scale & gold design is very lovely. 

Rating: 5/5 Even though I have read The Last Namsara last year, rereading the book still brought me so much feelings and awe at Ciccarelli's writing. I loved every single story and sentence in this book. I cannot wait to read her second book!

 

Book Review: The Wives of Henry VIII Tell All by Candace Fleming, M.T. Anderson, Stephanie Hemphill, Lisa Ann Sandell, Jennifer Donnelly, Linda Sue Park, and Deborah Hopkinson

Authors: Candace Fleming, M.T. Anderson, Stephanie Hemphill, Lisa Ann Sandell, Jennifer Donnelly, Linda Sue Park, and Deborah Hopkinson

Series: Stand-alone

Cover: Love how this cover uses the art style that was found in the time period where this book takes place. I think this is Anne Boleyn. Not quite sure, but let me know what you think.

Rating: 5/5 I finished this book so fast. I absolutely love shows like The Crown, so when I saw a book about Henry VIII, I decided to give it a shot. I fell in love with this book and highly recommend it if you're interested in the lives of Henry's six wives. 

Book Review: Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi

Author: Tomi Adeyemi

Series: Book #1 in Legacy of Orïsha series.

Cover: Love the cover of this book. I love the tribal ink that is on her face. It brings a nice touch to her character.
Rating: 4/5 I really enjoyed the world of Children of Blood and Bone, but I didn't connect to the main character as much as I wished I could have. Still can't wait to read the next book of the series!

Book Review: Sky in the Deep by Adrienne Young

Author: Adrienne Young
Series: Stand-Alone 

Cover: Cover is alright. The model doesn't really match up with what I thought Eelyn would look like. I feel like she has so much hair compared to the book description.

Rating: 4/5 This book took a while for it to get interesting. I think it took about halfway through the book for me to start getting invested.

Book Review: Peter Green and the Unliving Academy: This Book is Full of Dead People by Angelina Allsop

Author: Angelina Allsop

Series: Book 1 in The Unliving Chronicles 

Cover: This is such a cute cover. Love the art work of this design. I gotta say poor Pete xD He looks so terrified.

Rating: 3/5 I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Overall, I did enjoy the book. I do feel like this book is intended for someone a bit younger than I am. It reminds me of The Children of the Red King series, although they're two very different books.

Book Review: The Last to Let Go by Amber Smith

Author: Amber Smith

Series: Stand Alone 

Cover: I love how the title of this book covers the entire cover. The ball of tangled wires/string is a perfect representation of what this book is about. 

Rating: 3/5 The book was "mehhhh" from beginning to end. The entire book was very simple and just too plain(?). It is missing something to give it an extra boost to a 4 or 5 rating. 

Book Review: Spelled by Betsy Schow

Author: Betsy Schow

Series: Yes - Book #1 in The Storymakers series.
Cover: I love how cute the cover is. I would totally wear those shoes if I had the chance!

Rating: 4/5 I thought this book was going to be just mediocre, but I was pleasantly surprised by it. It gave me a good chuckle here and there.

Book Review: Heart of Iron by Ashley Poston

Author: Ashley Poston

Series: Yes - Book #1 in the Heart of Iron series.

Cover: I think the cover fits perfectly with the book. I can imagine a city in space looking like that. Curious to see if it is possible to have a city like that in space though.

Rating: 3/5 First, I was enjoying the book pretty nicely, but then it went downhill for me towards the end. 

Book Review: Welcome to Night Vale by Joseph Fink & Jeffery Cranor

Author: Joseph Fink & Jeffery Cranor

Series: Yes - Book #1 in the Welcome to Night Vale series.

Cover: I would say this eccentric cover matches perfectly with the book. Also find it eerie that light is radiating out from the eye.

Rating: 3/5 I think... this book may be the weirdest book I have ever read. So many things to say, but I don't know how to formulate them all correctly LOL.

 

Book Review: Wintersong by S. Jae-Jones

Author: S. Jae-Jones

Series: Yes - Book #1 in the Wintersong series.

Cover: The cover is so pretty! It gives me a very whimsical vibe. 

Rating: 1/5 Oof... Warning: this book may bore you to death. (Also, this book in my opinion is for 13+)

Book Review: Ash Princess by Laura Sebastian

Author: Laura Sebastian
Series: Yes - Book #1 in the Ash Princess Trilogy series.
Cover: The cover reminds me of the Red Queen series. Although the generic crown in front of a book cover has been done over ten times by now, I still enjoyed this cover. I love the dark feel that you get from the cover. A dark ash crown for an ash princess.
Rating: 4/5 I am surprised that I enjoyed this book more than I thought I would.

Book Review: Ace of Shades by Amanda Foody

Author: Amanda Foody
Series: Yes- Book #1 in The Shadow Games series.
Cover: I enjoy this cover. I wouldn't say it is the most unique cover I've seen, but it is fitting for the book. Can't say I would change it!
Rating: 3.5/5 This book wasn't what I was expecting. At the same time, it wasn't a disappointment either? I grew to enjoy the book as it went on.

Book Review: Renegades by Marissa Meyer

Author: Marissa Meyer

Series: Yes - Book #1 in the Renegades series. 

Cover: I really enjoy this cover. It gives me a very comic book feel. The font and color for Renegades is so simple and contrasting with the rest of the colors.

Rating: 5/5 I don't think I've read a superhero YA book before. At least from the top of my head I don't remember reading any. This book was amazing from start to finish. Meyer is such a talented writer. 

Book Review: Restore Me by Tahereh Mafi

Author: Tahereh Mafi

Series: Yes - Book #4 in the Shatter Me series.

Cover: One of my favorite covers ever. This series has the most stunning covers. White is my favorite color, so this design just went through the roof with me.

Rating: 5/5 This was the book that I was waiting ALL YEAR for. I am so glad that I finally got to read it. It was everything that I hoped for and even better!

Book Review: The Iron Queen by Julie Kagawa

Author: Julie Kagawa

Series: Yes - Book #3 in The Iron Fey series.

Cover: This cover has my least two favorite things for covers. One, the color pink and two, a model in the front. 

Rating: 3/5 I had high hopes for book #3, but unfortunately, I still don't think the series is my cup of tea. Book #3 is MUCH better than Book #2, but it is still a 3/5 for me.

Book Review: Reign of the Fallen by Sarah Glenn Marsh

Author: Sarah Glenn Marsh

Series: Yes - Book #1 in Reign of the Fallen series.

Cover: I LOVE THE COVER. Absolutely gorgeous. I love the empty space around the skull with the title wrapped around it.

Rating: 2.5/5 This might be one of the lowest ratings I've done for a book in a really long time.

Book Review: Roar by Cora Carmack

Author: Cora Carmack

Series: Yes - Book #1 in the Stormheart series.

Cover: Ehhh... Not my cup of tea. I do enjoy the title of the book and the reason behind that title!

Rating: 4/5 This book could have been a 5/5 for me if it weren't for the romance. Other than that, I absolutely adored the world of the Stormheart series. It is something different that I haven't read before in other books!
