Review: Love and Gravity by Samantha Sotto
There is something about time travel books that hold a place near and dear to my heart! I guess it’s because I love the thought of me myself being able to just fall into a new time period. I think it’s romantic and exciting so whenever new books come up with time travel as a theme, I am almost always on board with reviewing them. I don’t know much about Isaac Newton but I thought this book sounded compelling and I was anxious to review it based on the time travel component. Andrea Louviere is seven years old the first time he appears. While she’s alone in her bedroom, practicing…

Review: Cinder (The Lunar Chronicles #1) by Marissa Meyer
This novel has literally been all over my social media feed for what feels like years. Every time a new Lunar Chronicles book comes out it’s like it’s everywhere! So when the last book Winter came out, I saw this whole series clogging my social media feeds with rave reviews. So that settled it, it was time to read this book! Cinder’s life isn’t terribly exciting…she’s a lowly mechanic and a cyborg to boot. She works on androids all day and caters to her step mother and step sisters by night. Well when the crown prince, Kai, comes into her little market cart shop seeking help repairing his android, Cinder…

Review: Wayward (Wayward Pines #2) by Blake Crouch
After burning through the first book of the Wayward Pines series, I immediately picked up the second book and started reading. The first book ended with some stunning revelations about what exactly the town of Wayward Pines, Idaho really was. Ethan Burke was finally coming to terms with his position in Wayward Pines and finally beginning to understand what exactly was at stake should he continue to fight conformity. But then suddenly there is a murder in Wayward Pines…..the first one….well the first one that wasn’t orchestrated or planned anyway.

Review: Pines (Wayward Pines #1) by Blake Crouch
Not many network TV shows catch my eye, I’m typically an HBO girl when it comes to ‘my shows’ but something about Wayward Pines on Fox caught my eye and after the first episode I was hooked. What kind of weirdness is this? It wasn’t until the third episode that I noticed it was based on a book series, so like a good bookaholic I raced out and bought the first book to start reading immediately! Secret Service agent, Ethan Burke, was sent to Wayward Pines to find two missing agents but Ethan and his partner were hit by a truck. When Ethan wakes up in Wayward Pines hospital it’s pretty…

Review: Successio (Roma Nova #3) by Alison Morton
As many of you are aware, I have been very impressed with this new series. This is the first and really, the only, alternative history book that I’ve come across in all my literary adventures. Successio is the third book in the series and I still stand by the ‘read the series in order’ theory. I’ve seen some people say that these books read easily as stand alone novels but I completely disagree. The world of Roma Nova is complex and the back story is very detailed so I would say if this novel looks at all eye catching to you, then start with the first book and fully immerse yourself in the rich…

Review: Changing Nature (The Immortal Descendants #3) by April White
The Immortal Descendants has been one of my most favorite new series over the last year or so. I absolutely love the world that the author has created. Each book moves the story forward and the world and the premise of the story, characters, and plot are all unique but yet work so well together. In this third book, we find ‘Clocker’ Saira and Archer enjoying a summer of romance when suddenly Immortals start being kidnapped. The ‘Mongers’ will do anything to gain power and control over the other descendant families, especially after they target a powerful shifter. Saira and Archers (along with the rest of her crew) must travel back in…
