DNF Review: Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson

YA Review: Captive by Aimee Carter

More often than not I’ve found that second books in a trilogy have a lot of problems. They tend to drag on and meander all over the place which can be a real let down after a really good first book. But then there are times when the first book in a series is just […]

DNF Review: Incarnate

DNF Review: Incarnate
