A dark and enthralling story, After the Fire tells the dramatic story of seventeen-year-old Moonbeam's terrifying life in a cult, her climactic escape, and her rehabilitation into the outside world. This novel is different and really makes its impression; it is like a dystopian fiction set within a normal world and every page is interesting…
Book Review: Far From the Tree by Robin Benway
Perhaps this is an unpopular opinion, but I believe this book does not reach its full potential. Far From the Tree has a promising plot which focuses on the intertwined lives of three adopted teenagers who find out they are siblings. They are all experiencing problems in one way or another and the author explores…
Book Review: Frost Hollow Hall by Emma Carroll
I have always been of the mindset that an adult shouldn't dismiss a book as childish or uninteresting just because it was marketed as a children's novel. Intrigue and mystery are the very essence of this debut novel. Set in Victorian England, Frost Hollow Hall is an intricate ghost story that is both captivating and…
Book review: All Your Perfects by Colleen Hoover
Heart-breaking and absolutely inspiring. This book played at my heartstrings and then healed them completely. I was hooked from the get-go and by the time I reached the end, it seemed like I had completely flooded the house with my tears of catharsis. This is a must-read for couples in a serious relationship or those…

Book Review: One Day in December by Josie Silver
A heartfelt story of love at first sight, second chances, and the obstacles that two people face in making their deepest desires come true. This book made me feel frustrated, emotional, and best of all, it made me cry like a baby from sheer happiness. This story takes place over several years as the characters…
Book Review: Lady Midnight by Cassandra Clare
Just get together already! The build-up of sexual tension between Emma Carstairs and Julian Blackthorn is electrifying and only gets stronger with each chapter. The romance between this couple is real and the fact that they are close friends makes it even sweeter. I turned the pages with impetuous excitement, eager to find out how…
Book Review: Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng
In my honest opinion, this book is unlike any other and left me with some mixed feelings. It is the sort of book where you finish reading it, quietly put it to the side and then sit where you are, processing the entire story in order to try and gather how you feel about the…
Book Review: It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover
Wow! Honest, heart-wrenching, and inspiring. This book is one of the ones that everyone is raving about, and rightly so. In fact, I would go so far as to say that I personally consider it to be one of Hoover's best works (but not the best, for that, I still reserve the place for Hopeless). …
