The tagline on the copy I read notes 'This exquisitely drawn romance.. will slake the thirst', which is a bit of a shame, because while there is definitely a romantic subplot, this isn't a romance book per se. It's a great YA fantasy read. Katsa...
I've had this book on my TBR for AGES and finally got around to reading it. Unfortunately, something about this one didn't quite work for me, and I'm not exactly sure why. The writing was really good, and the book was fast-paced, so I had...
This book broke my brain entirely. Where do I even start with reviewing it???? First off, don't expect to start reading this and understand ANYTHING THAT IS HAPPENING. That confusion will persist until well over halfway through the book. If you found Gideon mildly confusing,...
