If you've read any of my reviews or followed my blog for a little bit, you probably already know that I'm a big fan of the science-fiction genre, especially when there is a bit of dystopia mixed in with it. I'm also intrigued by male POV's and am always on the lookout for new books. With all of that...

I'd heard Daph talk about this book a little bit before, but I had no idea why she was so amazed by it. Sure, it's set in a boarding school, but so are a lot of books.

Fast paced with the kind of ending that makes me glad the sequel is right around the corner, VARIANT is a great great read. Benson, the hero, has the right combination of brains and charm to carry the storyline through its twists and turns. Wells does a great job balancing the temptations of the Aca...

This was one of those books where I didn't know whether I liked it or it.Benson wins a scholarship to a school that is nothing like he expected it to be. His first signs of this was when he first arrived. The school appears to be run by kids, but is in fact run by something a lot more sinister. Ther...
