Julie’s Review I really enjoyed Cinder and thought Scarlet was an interesting sequel, but to me it wasn’t as good as Cinder. I liked the Scarlet was a tough redhead who didn’t back down or hide from danger. She’s a really cool character and I really liked her. Scarlet’s Grandmother is missing […]
Julie’s Review: I don’t think I quite understood that Gated was going to be a book about a cult, so when the weird creepy leader guy kept feeding the people in the Community all these lies, I kept wondering when people would catch on. Then I re-read the blurb and realized nope they’re not […]
Julie’s Review Allegiant is definitely stirring up feelings and strong reactions among Divergent series fans. I tried to avoid reading reviews until I read the book but even just scrolling through my social media feeds, I could see something severe was going to happen. I had an idea of what it might […]
Julie’s Review Shatter Me is one of the books I’m kicking myself for waiting this long to read. The story is intriguing and I read it in pretty much one sitting. I just couldn’t stop once I got started. I had no idea what to expect and as I read more of […]
Julie’s Review I haven’t had a chance to read The Goddess Test series, but I met Aimee Carter as part of the Harlequin Teen tour and got to hear about her upcoming book, Pawn. I was really intrigued so I requested the ARC from Netgalley. Pawn is a cool take on a […]

Julie’s Review Otherborn is a unique story. It definitely is not what I expected. The world building is subtle and slow, where we do not learn all the rules right away. The characters are complicated and their “Others” drive the story as much as their main selves, maybe even more so. The story […]
Julie’s Review Book: What was really interesting and great about this story is despite the tragic backdrop, there is hope and true love. This is a society where teen suicide is an epidemic and the government created The Program to “cure” at-risk teens by erasing their memories. Some teens would rather “terminate” […]
Julie’s Review At first I thought Linked was a dystopian world where the government performed secret horrible experiments on twins. Then I thought it was a sci-fi space opera adventure story. It is really kind of both. This story is fast-paced and exciting, with twists and turns and danger. When Lissa and her twin, […]
Julie’s Review Cinder is definitely a unique retelling of the Cinderella fairy tale. Cinder is an orphan with no memory of who she is. She was told she was in an accident, and needed to be “repaired”, which is why she is now a cyborg. Her adoptive step-father dies of the plague and […]
