Review: The Creeping by Alexandra Sirowy

First, thanks to Edelweiss and Simon and Schuster Books for Young Readers for allowing me to read an egalley of this book.  Overall it was a good story.  Although I didn’t really find it as creepy as I know some other reviews have said it was.  The main character is a girl named Stella.  When […]

Review: Reawakened by Colleen Houck

First, thanks to Delacorte Press and Edelweiss for allowing me to read an egalley of this.  It is my first experience with this author, and I’m pretty sure I’ve found another favorite author.  I’ve seen people just gush over her Tiger saga, but I’ve just not ever really thought I’d want to pick it up […]

Review: Torn (The Feuds #2) by Avery Hastings

First, thanks to St. Martin’s Griffin and Edelweiss for allowing me to read an egalley of this sequel to Feuds.  This was a good conclusion to the story.  While there were still some formulaic bits to it, it was still different in its own ways for different parts of the story.  And I’m pretty happy […]
