I want more!Only two things are required for me to give a book 5 stars, and this book did both. 1. It must make me never want to put it down. 2. It has to leave me thinking about it and wanting more even after I finish. The characters were perfect. The story was interesting, romantic and exciting. T...

Violet is a genius - more at home in her lab than in drawing rooms and dress shops. Her dream is to go to Illyri...
The ways in which Lev AC Rosen plays with gender and sexuality in All Men of Genius is astoundingly brilliant. Seriously.
