Brrr!! I don't know about where you live but here in Good Ole' St. Louis or the Lou as we refer to it it's cold, wet, freezing, did I mention cold? Because It's cold with a capital C. What better to endure these longer winter nights while we wait for beautiful Spring to roll around than with a great book. We're so excited to bring you our list of upcoming release for January and February and guys girls do love getting books for Valentines Day. January New Releases: Passenger by Alexandra Bracken. I'm not sure if you remember the review we did for her last series, The Darkest Minds, but myself and Roxanne LOVED that trilogy though the novella's in between were two thumbs down. That being said we are excited for this new Bracken book to hit the shelves as we do love her writing style and her stories, also the cover looks cool. TruthWitch by Susan Dennard. This book has literally taken over my twitter feed to the exclusion of every other author out th

Nothing like a thriller to get your heart racing on a cold wintery day!

A Cure For Madness by Jodi Mcissac Thank you to netgalley for the copy of the E-Arc. Where to start, I mean right from the very beginning this book seems to just jump right into the fray. Peggy always thought her son Wes would be the one to kill her, but what happens to her and her husband isn't what they thought would happen at all. When Claire gets the call about her parents murder, she hurries home to Maine, in order to help get things straight and to get her brother Wes out of the hospital. He has schizophrenia and has been hospitalized for years. Not long after her arrival she finds out that something strange is happening in her home. Perfectly normal people are becoming violent, and it almost appears to be some kind of infectious disease.  As more and more information comes to light and the CDC appears to need Wes, will Claire be able to do right by her brother and help figure out what is going on? I must admit that this was a total cover pick and title, I requested

My Favorite series from 2015

Hmm My favorite series from 2015, there are several.... 1. Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas... What can I say I started this series shortly before book 3 Heir of Fire came out, and I was hooked instanly... I was a huge Dorian and Celaena fan, and then I kind of got on board with Chaol but by the third book I was so hoping that he would just be gone and then Rowan came in and boom I was for Aelin and Rowan all the way, and if you don't understand why I switched from calling her Celaena to Aelin then you must read these books. I have raved about these to everyone. I have gotten friends to read them. Best fantasy in a long time, if book 1 wasn't necessarily your thing give it another chance because oh my does the series just keep getting better and better.... 2. A Court of Thorns and Ashes by Sarah J. Mass : Because it is Sarah J. Maas... I mean really faeries, curses and masks. Hot guys and one bad ass heroine. I love all things Fairy, but I will admit that after reading too

Favorite Series from 2015

It's the New Year which means new release and new books and new characters and OH MY GOSH so much newness!!! Before we get into the release dates coming up this year we thought we'd take a moment and revisit some of the series that we loved from the year 2015. We're not going to rank them but we are going to list them, cause we're just cool like that. Here they are in no particular order: 1: The Grey Wolves series by Quinn Loftis These books are under the genre of Young Adult but these character face some pretty harrowing situations and issues that in this book reviewers opinion should bump these books to college adult at least. Quinn Loftis hasn't written a bad book yet so you can't go wrong with anything from her. 2: Vampire For Hire series by J.R. Rain We love J.R. Rain!!! He's writes what I lovingly refer to as serial novellas. His characters are so three dimensional and relatable that sometimes you forget they're paranormal at all..you k

Jumping through Libraries, umm Yes please

Thief of Lies by Brenda Drake Published: January 5, 2016 Thank you to Netgalley for providing me with an e-arc.  I have to say ever since I saw the cover I was totally dying to read this, and yes library jumper novel only amped my excitement up. Gia and her friends find out about magic by complete accident. Gia says a phrase and they end up in another library having traveled through the book. Once there something attacks them and they see other teens jump in through books, only then do that find out that Gia is a really a Sentinel and there is a whole other world out there filled with witches, warriors, wizards and Fey. Gia finds out that she was hidden by her mother because she is the fulfillment of a prophesy... will she destroy her new world or save it? I would say more, but some things are just meant to be read! Now what I love about this book, Gia is a pretty kick ass main character, she is strong, determined and loves books! Did I mention that I adore the library jump
