Little Knife is a beautifully told Ravkan folktale about a bewitchingly lovely young girl, an avaricious father, and a poor Tidemaker. When the girl’s father sets out three difficult task for his daughter’s suitors, the impoverished Grisha outcast, who’s been enchanted by the girl’s loveliness, calls upon the river to help win him a wife and […]
Short & Sweet Review | Seeking Her by Cora Carmack
I have really enjoyed Cora Carmack’s Losing It series. It’s gritty and raw and makes you really fall into the lives of her characters. She doesn’t hold back or shy away from very real and serious issues, and she deals with “life stuff” that happens to actual people in a refreshingly redemptive way. That […]
Short & Sweet Review | Born of Corruption by Teri Brown
Turns out, Anna’s life isn’t the only one filled with danger, suspicion, and intrigue. Cynthia Gaylord, Anna’s best friend, wealthy socialite, wife of a New York aristocrat, and niece to the head of the Rothstein family (Family with the big “F”), is not a complete stranger to the dark, seedy, and illegal… though she […]
Short & Sweet Review | Sunbolt by Intisar Khanani
Wow! Just Wow! I am in love with this series. There are so many things I could say about it. I’m not one to fall in love with novellas usually. It takes a lot for me to give something this short 5 stars. I mean, it’s just not usually enough time for me to […]
Short & Sweet Review | The Shadow Prince by Stacey O’Neale
I’m totally intrigued by this story. At first I wasn’t sure I would like this prequel novella. Another fairy story…I mean come on…been there, done that. But this is new and fresh. This definitely isn’t your typical fairy story. It’s more complicated and political than I could have imagined. I really enjoyed getting a […]
Saturday Snippet Reviews | Life Before Legend & The Midnight Heir
There are times when Heather & I finish a book, but don’t have time to write a full, comprehensive review… or even a shorter “flashbulb” review. BUT we still want to share our thoughts with you on what we’ve been reading. That’s why every Saturday we’ll be featuring 2 “snippet” reviews — short, sweet, to-the-point […]
Short & Sweet Review | Proxy by Mindee Arnett
A spacefaring crew of teenage thieves? An exciting universe populated by monarchies, competing crime lords, a (possibly insidious) pervasive bureaucratic organization? A conflicted thief who wants nothing more than the safety of his sister and to regain ownership of his family’s spaceship? A beautiful, yet ruthless, rival? Ok. Yes. I want more of this, […]
Short and Sweet Review | What Really Happened in Peru by Cassandra Clare and Sarah Rees Brennan
I <3 Magnus. He is probably my favorite character from The Mortal Instruments/Infernal Devices series. I simply adore his wit and charm and ability to steal a scene without even trying. I also love the complexity of his character and the fact that his depth seems…bottomless. I’ve told Dani on more than one occasion […]
Short and Sweet Review | The Transfer by Veronica Roth
It’s no secret that I adore Four, so getting a peak into his point of view was definitely worth the read. This isn’t a long short story, so my review will be brief. Basically we get to see the day of Tobias Eaton’s transformation into Four. It begins with him “waking up” from his […]
Short and Sweet Review | Neverfall by Brodi Ashton
Ok, so it’s unfair to start this review without first establishing the fact that I am strongly TEAM COLE. I haven’t read Everbound or Evertrue yet, so that may change but I just really love a redeemable character and Cole feels that way to me. While Jack is good and sweet and has […]
