Review: The God Game by Danny Tobey (Spoiler-Free)
~ Thank you so much to St. Martin's Press for sending me an early copy of this book. Release date: January 7, 2020 ~
I'm truly at a loss for words. This book has every element that a book needs and delivers on them flawlessly. From the moment I read the first page, I was hooked. Despite what you might think based on how many books I read, I'm actually not typically able to read for long periods of time. I'm someone who consistently reads in little bits, usually an hour bein

Review: The Start of Me & You by Emery Lord (Spoiler-Alert)
** spoiler alert ** I think I've loved you since that first day.
Where do I even begin? This truly exceeded every one of my expectations. I was expecting to like it, but in that more reluctant sort of way. The way in which you recognize how cheesey it is, but love it anyway. That is not what ended up happening. At. All.
I truly loved everything that this book had to offer. Too many YA romances turn into a story about the love interest, rather than the main character. Thi
