  • Betty and Veronica: Rock and Roll Reviews

    This rocking new issue introduces a new band, Rock Candi and new drummer to Riverdale, Jola Kitt. It’s a simple plot as one can imagine for a 5-page story where Betty and Veronica quit The Archies due to Reggie’s sexist comments dismissing Betty’s songwriting efforts and Archie not standing up for them. So they form…

  • Matched Review

    Does anyone remember the Matched trilogy? Cuz I remember the big debut of this book way back in third grade, and it was everywhere but it didn’t quite reach the same level of memorability as other dystopians like The Hunger Games or Divergent. Anyway, since I’m on a YA binge, I decided to read this…

  • Beautiful Redemption Review

    Since the stunning conclusion of the last book where the One who is Two aka Ethan Wate decided to jump off Gatlin’s water tower to save the world, Ethan and his friends are grappling with the consequences. Oh yeah, Ethan is not dead. I mean technically his body is. But his soul is in the…

  • Book Highlight: Once Series

    I read this, what I had thought was a trilogy, over break and while it may be for kids I suggest having an adult nearby so kids can ask questions. I’m not sure if there are answers to “Why are people so heinous?” But they’re going to be asking that after these books. This is…

  • Cinder & Glass Review

    This might be the last of my fairytale binge for some time, but what a way to end it. De La Cruz’s retelling of Cinderella is a historical. So no fairy godmother or dress-making mice here, but magic is still present in the air as Cinderellion enters the world of Versailles with its dazzling Hall…

  • The Queen’s Council: Feather and Flame Review

    The second book in the Queen’s Council series brings readers back to Imperial China as Mulan takes upon a role she never thought she’d serve, or even deserves. Set a few years after Mulan saved China, she has created an all-female militia, teaching women how to fight and defend their village from bandits and other…

  • The Queen’s Council: Rebel Rose Review

    What happens after happily ever after? That’s what this new series focuses on because while the Disney Princesses line are famous for the latter part, being a Princess, but that’s just a stepping stone. After all, most princesses are expected to promoted to queen by marriage or by their own rule. This series delves into…

  • Ranking The Union of the Rakes

    This regency romance has a special 80s twist as each novel takes homage from big screen classics like Flashdance, The Breakfast Club, and so on. I’ll confess I did not realize this until I read the Acknowledgement pages, and since the only 80s movies I’ve seen were Flashdance, and The Breakfast Club, I cannot tell…

  • A Secret Princess Review

    Margaret Stohl and Melissa de La Cruz team up once again for a reimagining of beloved literary characters from Frances Hodgson Burnett’s canon. The choice of pairing Mary Lennox and Sara Crewe is perfect as they are just those two literary characters that you just picture like when one thinks of Wendy Darling, one also…
