The Toll – Neal Shusterman
★★★★★ Looks like they are REALLY serious about no spoilers... so I'll just say - this was everything. Literally blown away, socks knocked off. Everything. My Review- now that the book is out ...can’t see why I should concern myself with humankind at all. Rowan and Citra were last seen three years ago, at the… Continue reading The Toll – Neal Shusterman
Swipe Right for Murder – Derek Milman
★★★ ½ ...and we're splurging on ridiculously overpriced tea and discussing sudden death. Unfortunately, the topic is all too relevant at the moment. Aidan is in New York City for a night (for a heart scan) and after the scan, kicks off his shoes and re-downloads Dirty Paws (aka Grindr). Nothing good can come from this, but… Continue reading Swipe Right for Murder – Derek Milman
Dear Girls – Ali Wong
★★★★ Right off the bat - a quick PSA to Mari and Nikki (the "girls" that Ali refers to in the story) - your mother was right. Do not (ABSOLUTELY DO NOT) read this book before you're 21. In fact, deeply consider reading it at all. There are things that are objectively hilarious (abso-freaking-lutely hilarious) but horrifying (stunningly so) when you… Continue reading Dear Girls – Ali Wong

Unnatural Magic – C.M. Waggoner
★★★★★ The crowd parted for her. Always did. They might scream, but they weren't stupid. On the one hand, we have Onna. A wonderfully brilliant, Hermione-esque girl spends all her free time working her parameters (mathematical spells). She's laser-focused her entire childhood on training her mind in order to go the finest arcane academy of the land....only… Continue reading Unnatural Magic – C.M. Waggoner
A Madness of Sunshine – Nalini Singh
★★★ ★ "Nothing, there's nothing. It's like she vanished into thin air." Anahera was born and raised in Golden Cove - seaside coast of New Zealand. The land is wild, beautiful and savage - and deadly.

Walk the Wild with Me – Rachel Atwood
★★★ ½ Nick blinked again, and all the dancers reverted to their fae forms. Another blink and they resumed their humanity.

Something...other. And after a hair-raising adventure...he finds… Continue reading Walk the Wild with Me – Rachel Atwood
