Review: Ninth House

July 29, 2020 · Leave a Comment

Ninth House is Leigh Bardugo's first attempt at an adult series after writing a number of wildly popular young adult novels. Our heroine is Galaxy (Alex) Stern: a badass, street smart twenty-something who can see ghosts. And not the casper kind. The gritty, very dead kind. After her boyfriend is murdered and she almost dies in the same attack, she is given full ride to Yale and, while things are finally looking up for Alex, her new role as Dante in a  secret society that is tasked with policing students using magic on campus may be more than she bargained for.. I ... Continue Reading...

Release Blitz: Unknown

August 16, 2016 · Leave a Comment

It's Finally Here! Unknown is the most recent release of Wendy Higgins, the creator of the Sweet Evil Series and The Great Hunt - but with a subtle difference. Instead of the usual YA novel, Higgins is forging ahead into the adult novelist world with her very first NA release. I don't know about you guys but I am psyched to read some more Higgins. Unknown is going to be an instant winner because it was written by any author who creates fantastic characters, intense romantic relationships and ridiculously exciting action scenes. Amber Tate is your typical American ... Continue Reading...

Review: Cowgrrl Up: Live

September 20, 2015 · Leave a Comment

When I was a child I was fortunate enough to be part of a family of farmers. I was one of the lucky little girls who asked for a horse and got one. I got to experience, for a short while, what having a horse was like and that fostered a love for  all things equestrian. I remember that I was old enough to remember my first ride, but not old enough to really learn anything concrete about horse ownership and as a result, horses will forever be magical in my mind. Cowgrrl Up: Live was surprisingly adept at capturing snippets of memories from my childhood: smells, sights ... Continue Reading...
