It was the title that really caught my attention on this one. I must admit this was one I had rather low expectations for after skimming through some of the reviews. That being said, once I started, I couldn't put it down. I loved it. I loved the unique way witchcraft was written, while it was as...
I think I should take a break from reading ARCs. I swear that this is the nth ARC I’ve given a less than 3 star rating this year. And it makes me feel guilty because most of the ARCs that I’ve reviewed are debut novels. It’s like I am the Grinch, hellbent on crushing the dreams of new authors. >,< ...

a copy of this book was provided to me by the publisher in exchange for my honest review. Actual Rating: 3.5 stars I was extremely excited when I got the eARC of this book.

The storyline is an interesting one. Not as dark as you would have expected, but yet still mysteriou...
*** This review has also been posted on The Social Potato(after talking it through with Giselle I decided to lower my rating.)Actual Rating 1.5Before I say anything else, I should start off by mentioning that the shelving of this book is a lie. If you’re looking for a gothic book to read, turn aroun...
I wanted to like this book as much as I like its cover. Sadly, I didn't.The goodI'll give it this: I really appreciate its take on witches.I can't suffer this kind of Barbie-witches:but I rather like the idea of witches like these:Here I found something akin to the second kind, and that I've appreci...
The House of Ivy and Sorrow has the same issues I had with the author’s Transparent.The strength of this lies in the descriptions of what it takes to be what they are. Whipple’s take on witchy lore is not just ‘different name but same ole’ thing; there’s a whole new world here. It’s not good witch v...
