The Cheerleaders by Kara Thomas Review

The Cheerleaders by Kara Thomas ★ ★ ★ ★ I really didn't think I would like this book. It was extremely well written and easily got me out of my reading slump. I don't know how to describe this book, but it's a fast paced read, and I read it in one sitting. Kara Thomas writes mystery/thriller books with such intrigue in the story that makes you not want to step away from the book. Monica and Ginny's slow forming friendship was a nice addition to the story. The last few pages with how the accident with Ginny's dad was extremely important and I literally did not think that would've ever had anything to do with the two cheerleaders. One of the most important parts to a thriller book that it's always interesting and you have no clue what's going to happen next or who you'll find out was involved. I felt like the continuous fighting between Monica and her sister was unrealistic. Every time they would have a flashback it would end up wi...

The Looking Glass by Janet McNally Review

The Looking Glass by Janet McNally ★ Slyvie is trying to carry on her older sister Julia's impressive legacy, after she disappeared. When Slyvie mysteriously gets a copy of her and Julia's favorite fairy tale book, Slyvie begins to see her sister everywhere she goes. She starts to believe she may be losing her grip on reality, but Slyvie has to find out if the strange, almost magical things she's been seeing have anything to do with Julia's whereabouts. With the help of her best friend's brother, Slyvie sets out to the beat of a Fleetwood Mac playlist, determined to return to New York with her sister in tow. Slyvie doesn't expect to learn that trouble comes in lots of forms and that the damsel in distress is often the only one who can save herself. I thought this book was going to be contemporary with more of a magical touch, but I feel like was mostly a contemporary about a ballerina who goes on a road trip to find her sister, whom I assumed was dead...

August Book Haul

Made You Up by Francesca Zappia I'd been looking for this book everywhere to find a cheap hardback copy, so eventually I bought one for $7 and I got the book, but it didn't have the jacket which they forgot to mention, so I returned it. That next day my thrift store was having a 50% off day and I literally found this hardcover book, with the jacket that ended up being $.90, which made my month. .................................................................................................................................................... Pandemonium by Lauren Oliver I also got this book for $.90 and it is a hardback, I was so happy to find this book as well! .................................................................................................................................................... Requiem by Lauren Oliver Another book I got for $.90 and this book completes my Delirium trilogy book collection!! I couldn't...

Sea Witch by Sarah Henning Review

Sea Witch by Sarah Henning ★ Every since Evie's best friend Anna drowned, Evie has felt like she was missing a part of her, without her best friend by her side. A girl with an uncanny resemblance to Anna appears offshore, Evie is convinced her best friend survived, though her new friend denies it. As the two girls catch the eyes and hearts of two charming princes, Evie believes she might have a chance at her own happily ever after. Her new found friend has secrets of her own, she can't stay in Havnestad or her on two legs, unless Evie finds a way to help her. Now Evie will do anything to protect her friend, harnessing the power of magic, her ocean and her love until she discovers too late, the truth of her bargain. I expected this book to a lot darker, I mean the title is literally sea witch, and most of the book was just Evie and Annemette(Anna) going on dates with princes, sleeping, and talking about the princes. A good author should be able to tell the story w...
