Book Review: Ensnared
I received this advanced readers copy by Netgalley, in exchange for an unbiased review. I initially picked this book out as the cover is beautifully done, and the concept of a futuristic, sci-fi Beauty and the Beast sounded wonderfully fun.

Book Review: Unbound

Book Review: The Infinite Sea
As I get ready to see The 5th Wave in theater, I might as well prepare by writing up a review for the second book – The Infinite Sea. Rick Yancey did not disappoint in his second book – and thank god I am only a few months away from the third book. (And the last?) This review…
