We are now on book four of Kelley Armstrong's "Rip Through Time" series—and if we include the fact that there are least two novellas, I have visited these characters many times over the past few years. I feel deeply immersed in the world and am excited to see where Mallory, Duncan, Isla and Hugh take … Continue reading Book Review: Death At A Highland Wedding
I love a series that doesn't start to lose steam once it's a few books in. So far, I've read Kelley Armstrong's A Rip Through Time as well as the second book in the series The Poisoner's Ring (and, actually, a novella that is book 2.5 in the series called Cocktails & Chloroform that I didn't review … Continue reading Book Review: Disturbing the Dead
It's been a long time since I've read a series—at least one that intentionally picks up where the previous book left off. So when I received the ARC for Kelley Armstrong's A Rip Through Time last year, I was actually a little disappointed that there wasn't a conclusion to the big mystery and that I was going … Continue reading Book Review: The Poisoner’s Ring
This is another book I read back in 2020, but this one has stuck with me a little bit more than the last. Opposite of Always by Justin A. Reynolds gave me time-travelling Groundhog Day vibes (but with YA stakes) that I've enjoyed before—and it didn't get past me that the characters' names were Jack … Continue reading Book Review: Opposite of Always

When I came across the description for A Rip Through Time (actually, let's face it, it was actually the beautiful cover that … Continue reading Book Review: A Rip Through Time
Happy New Year! I'm so happy to be rid of 2021 forever—we can only go up from here, right? Just before the end of the year, I asked around to see if anyone recommended any "New Year" themed books, since I didn't get to read a holiday story around Christmas this year, and there was … Continue reading Book Review: Oona Out of Order
I've never had my life together enough around the holidays to remember that this time of the year is my chance to read something Christmassy and actually feel the magic around me as well. Pair that with my favourite writing duo, Christina Lauren, and I had some pretty high expectations for their latest, In A … Continue reading Book Review: In A Holidaze
When I saw this book on NetGalley, and I knew I needed to read it. It was about a girl who travelled abroad to London for a semester in order to try and break out of her shell...which I can relate to on a deep level, having done something similar myself. The publisher was done … Continue reading Book Review: Again, but Better
