This was shockingly fantastic. I went in with very low expectations. I often do when it comes to fairy tale retellings as well as when it comes to young adult romance stuff. This has often served me well and allowed me to eke out a measure of amusement from stuff that was otherwise questionable, b...

The Gentle Lord rules the demons that separated the land of Arcadia from the rest of the world and that torment the people of the land. Years ago, Nyx' father bargained with the Gentle Lord.

THE BOOK Wow!! It is so hard to write a coherent review about this book. It was so unexpected, dark, profound, touching and hauntingly beautiful! In full honesty I only listened to this because I got it for free and heard some good talk about it. But I did not see this coming. This book is easil...
Hi guys, I hope you all are having a great day and enjoy my review for the book, Cruel Beauty, by Rosamund Hodge. This book is meant to be a retelling of Beauty and the Beast, set in a different world where Ignifex, who is known as the demon who took over Nyx's kingdom before she was born. Her fa...
This mash-up of Greek mythology and Beauty & the Beast retelling is somewhat lackluster. It reads more like a paranormal romance than a fairy tale, right down to the "Beast" being described in a such a way that you can only picture him as a vampire. Although the book came across as overwritten, espe...
Inventive, beautiful, bizarre, romantic, deep and occasionally mind-bending; certainly not the average YA fairy tale retelling, with some solid, if wild, world building, and characters with genuine flaws. Here are the facts: The Romana-Graecian Empire fell to the barbarian hordes, and the emperor'...
I got the audiobook from SYNC; they offer two free audiobooks each week! It was quite some time since I last listened to an audiobook but I quite enjoyed it. I think the narrator, Elizabeth Knowelden did a great job! (But the spelling of the names might be off because I've never seen them written)...

Check this post out on our blog!3 STARSOK, so I read this about a month ago, and I've been meaning to get to a review of this... jeez, it has been a while, hasn't it? So therefore, my review isn't going to be so much of a review, but rather some kind of rant thing.... I'm just going off the bits and...
From the reviews I'd read about this book, I had it in my head that the story was going to be incredibly complex. Maybe it was all the fairy tales I read as a child, but I knew exactly what was going on and what most of the twists were from the start because it was a mash up of various classical fai...
