While I thoroughly enjoyed the first book to this series of interconnected books, The Shadow Queen, I adored this one even more! You don’t see many retellings of Rumpelstiltskin, and Redwine really adds great dimension and twists to the characters and plot, making for an exciting read despite the familiar story. I’ve been loving this […]

While this book was a fun, magical ride, it also didn’t really impress me that much. The premise is super unique, as the main character Amy discovers that she can jump into the stories of books, and her family has a duty to preserve those stories.

I’ve loved all of Kasie West’s cute contemporary romance novels and By Your Side was no exception. It was fast-paced and adorable and the first half of the book was set inside a library! The novel begins when our main character, Autumn, is locked inside her local library after using the bathroom. Her belongings and […]
Travel to the Underground in this magical, lyrical retelling of The Labyrinth. This was one of my biggest anticipated reads for this winter, so I was absolutely ecstatic when I got my hands on it. The cover and blurb drew me to it like a moth to flame – because come on, who would let […]
