Review: Depraved Heart
Okay, so first off, this book is LONG. I don't mean "this took forever to read because it was lengthy", I mean "the first half nothing happened".

Depraved Heart was easy ... Continue Reading...
Review: Beastly Bones

Re-Review: Nirvana
This is my review of the revised and published edition of Nirvana. My review of the ARC copy of Nirvana, which I enjoyed, can be found here. I'm pretty sure Nirvana was rewritten to fit with a middle grade audience or YA focus on the second go around. I'm not a reader of middle grade fiction, so my review probably doesn't really fit with the intended audience..but Nirvana works better as an New Adult Speculative Fiction title than a Young Adult title. To be fair, in such a short amount of time the author rewrote Nirvana better than I ever could. Uhh..okay. So, ... Continue Reading...
