My Review I love everything Lisa Becker has ever written! Her Click series was one of the most original and creative series I’ve ever read. And now I am equally in love with Links! This is the story of Charlotte Windham who spent most of her school years as a smart, nerdy girl who tutored her classmates […]
My Review Power Play is the latest in Cattherine Gayles’s Portland Storm series. I can’t say enough good things about this series. The stories are always full of raw emotions and deeply intense situations. The characters are real and smudged with the often harsh realities of life, not sugar coated to become some kind of plastic “ideal.” […]

Anna’s older sister Storm is killed on the night of her high school graduation. Their parents fall apart, turning to each other in their grief. Anna is […]
My Review I loved everything about Don’t Kiss the Messenger! For me, this story was very much driven by the varied cast of characters. I loved that they weren’t cast as ideals, but with the flaws and hangups that we all can relate to. CeCe Edmonds was in a devasting crash that left her scarred in […]

The writing is lyrical and descriptive, allowing you to see the world through Tea’s eyes. It is written in two alternating points of view and the voices are very […]
My Review Half the reason I requested this galley was because of the pirates. Even better was the fact that the lead pirate in the novel is a girl. There are not enough pirates of any gender in YA literature! Alosa is the daughter of the new pirate king and the captain of her own […]
My Review When I was offered the chance to read the ARC of this by Entangled Publishing, I jumped at it! I’m all about any book that features hockey at any level of the game. And it is a book that yanked me in from the very first page. There is a lot to love […]
My Review The Fifth Petal is the second book in The Lace Reader series. I really enjoyed the first book, especially with its setting of Salem and the witch history. This novel is set several years into the future and it features some new characters along with some from the first book. Callie is at the […]
My Review Love and First Sight is the first I’ve read by author Josh Sundquist. I read it in less than a day because I just couldn’t put it down. It is a gripping story with fabulous characters and an even ore fabulous story. So much of YA fiction focuses on girls so I was […]
