The nitty-gritty: Evocative world-building combined with an overstuffed plot left me with mixed feelings about this YA fantasy debut.

Can summer be over already? I swear it was June only a moment ago. But here we are at the start of another school year.

My goal with Future Fiction is to share at least three new books each week, a combination of recent cover reveals and books that I’ve recently […]
The nitty-gritty: A thrilling, fast-paced beginning lost steam for me near the end, but up until about the three-quarter mark I really had a lot of fun with this book. I enjoyed the hell out of this book—up to a point. And then things really started to go wrong for me. It’s almost as if […]
