Review of By Your Side

I'm giving this book 4/5 stars! This was my first Kasie West book, and I have to say I absolutely enjoyed it! I didn't expect the book to go the way it did, and I don't mind that one bit. I like the story and the route it took.  It was the light read I needed. There was nothing heavy, the writing was easy to read and not complicated, and it didn't keep me *too* much on my toes. Perfect book for reading when you have school. I was able to finish this really quickly. If I wanted to, I could have finished it the day I started and had a bit of hours left in daylight. The romance was very satisfactory. It kept me wanting more from Autumn and Dax, and held it out in front of me like a carrot on a stick. I liked how clear it was when it came to who was more fit for Autumn to date since there is a (kind of) love triangle.  There were times where I was surprised Autumn handled situations the way she did. I had expected her to confront how a character made her feel, ...

Review of The Demon Tamer

I am giving this book 4/5 stars! I received a copy from the author for an honest review. Thank you Brancati for the great book!! There is a lot of different cultures that get a spotlight in this story, and I think that has to be one of my favorite parts. I love being able to learn about other cultures, and Brancati clearly did his research. It added a special part to the story that allows the reader to feel as though they are experiencing it and are there, too. Although I was confused at first, it didn't take long for me to start understanding what was happening. There were times were I went back to being confused for a split second though, and I am pretty sure that is because I kept needing to put it away for class. I do not believe I would have been as confused if I had started the book on a day where I had nothing planned.  If descriptions aren't your thing, and you would rather have a book that gets straight to the point and doesn't waste time, this is the book...

Review of Rise of the Phoenix

I am giving this book 4/5 stars! I received a copy of the book from the author. Thank you again Isajanyan for the copy and writing a great book!!  If you like books with the chosen one, born solely for this event type of books, this is the book for you! This book was creative from the beginning with the brilliant writing style. In some movies, there is a prophecy or story from the past that they will describe and talk about. This book was written like someone was telling the prophecy, and I found that creative because this whole book starts with just that.  There was a lot of information in the beginning, it was a bit overwhelming and may have contributed to me having a hard time getting into it at first. That also may have contributed to me feeling as though some things were being repeated. While that may be the case, as I continued reading it got better. I was starting to get attached to the characters and story. So I highly recommend sticking around and reading it...

Review of The Veil of Trust

I received an ARC since I am on the author's street team. I am giving this book 5/5 stars! Although this book is another one where Brynaa is gathering more information and is moving the story along, I found it to be very interesting. Evans was able to make it eventful and entertaining without a dull moment and I think that can be a hard thing to come by. In this story, we see more characters from the past come back and play a larger role in this story. I loved this so much. I think it brought the whole vibe of the book to feel more like the first book. It made it feel more connected to the story. If you didn't particularly enjoy the second book as much as the first, don't stop there. Read this book and you won't be disappointed! We see more problems and struggles arise, and while those are sometimes used to make the story longer and could be taken out, these don't fall into that category. They have a purpose, and that is to move the story along. It allows...
