The Collector (Dante #1) by Victoria Scott

I got to meet the author of this book and get a copy at the RT Convention this past May.  I’d been following the author, Victoria Scott, for awhile, I believe on Twitter?  On her blog and such for sure.  So I had to get this when I saw her.  Now, it sounded like a […]

Replica by Jenna Black

I have to thank Tor Teen for the first time for allowing me to read this e-galley in April.  I think this was one of my first downloads from Edelweiss once I finally figured out how to do it!  And what a great choice to read!  I really did enjoy this book. At first the […]

Exposure (A Twisted Lit Novel) by Kim Askew and Amy Helms

I’ve been intrigued by these updated takes on Shakespeare plays since I first saw them as giveaways on Goodreads.com.  I received this book as part of a trade through the YA Book Exchange, from another blogger, The Book Babe.  And it wasn’t too bad!  I will admit that I’ve only actually read two of Shakespeare’s […]
