    This is a Greek retelling about Hades and his love interest Lyra. This book was not my cup of tea. It reminded me of Divergent but in Tartarus. I felt like this book has been done over and over again. Plus, Hades only had one true love Persephone and not anyone else. I couldn’t get…

    I know this is going to anger the Zodiac Academy girls out there. But this was a huge no for me. It just wasn’t my taste at all. I really tried over and over again. But I just couldn’t get into it. But I want to say this, this is perfect for a young 20…

    Ok here we go… Wretched (Ever After Series) This is a retelling of the Wizard of Oz and Wicked in the 21st century. I wanted to love it, I really, really did. But this is another retelling I just didn’t like with a passion. The spice was really good and that I will give a…

    Twisted – Ever After Series – Aladdin Retelling by: Emily Mcintire. I wanted to like this one, I really, really did. But sadly, I really, really didn’t like it at all. Out of the Ever After series this one was just a flop in my eyes. I struggled with the story line and who the…

    The moment I was told about this book from my local Barnes and Nobles. I couldn’t wait to read it. This book puts you in all the feels and I mean all the feels. It gets you from the first page and you just can’t put it down. I started at 11 pm and finished…
