Allegiance by Cayla Kluver was released back in February. To say I was excited to read this sequel to her, Legacy, might very well be the understatement of the year. Here’s the synopsis from Amazon.com:
He couldn’t help his past any more than he could help the way those intense, deep blue eyes pierced me and held me captive.An eighteen-year-old queen in love with the enemy as their countries pass the point of no return…
Bound to a man she cannot love, Queen Alera of Hytanica must forget Narian, the young man …

There are books out there right now that are being reviewed, tweeted about constantly, and altogether-hyped up. Amanda Havard’s The Survivors is not one of those books. It’s published by a smaller, indie press called Chafie Press, and it hasn’t gotten the type of hype I believe it deserves. But don’t let that keep you from reading this book! Once you start reading, you won’t want to put it down. If you’re like me, you’ll NEED to know just what in the world you are dealing with. You’ll think, no-BELIEVE-you know …

I had the opportunity to interview Cara Lynn Shultz the other day, and I had to work REALLY hard not to go all “Fan-girl” on her. Luckily, for my fan-girlness, the interview was over email so I was able to keep myself in check to some extent. This summer has been a great few months of reading for me, and Shultz’s Spellbound was one of the reasons for that. I absolutely loved this book! After reading the book, and reviewing it here, I knew that I HAD to interview this debut novelist. Of …

Cinder and Ella by Melissa Lemon is a conundrum to me if I am completely honest with you. As I began the novel, there were several times that I became confused as to what exactly was happening within the story line. The basic storyline is that both Cinder and Ella end up at the kingdom castle, which turns out to be dangerous for them both, due to an evil prince. They go through trials and tribulation, fall in love, and good wins out over evil.
While the idea behind the story …

It is a rare thing when I finish a book and immediately want to read it again. There is only a short list of these books from my entire lifetime so far. The list includes Lucy Maud Montgomery’s Anne of Green Gables, George Orwell’s 1984, Christopher Paul Curtis’s The Watsons Go to Birmingham-1963, Lois Lowry’s Gathering Blue, Laurie Halse Anderson’s Fever 1793, J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter Series, a few others, and, now, Myra McEntire’s Hourglass.
I finished Hourglass a couple of days ago, and I have been wondering how to put …

Hourglass is not just a pretty cover… The story is refreshing and beautiful as well.  I fell in love with the main characters, Emerson and Michael, from the beginning of the story.  Em’s quirkiness and sarcastic nature, and Michael’s hero complex and mysterious life kept me reading at a furiously fast pace.  I had to stop myself from reading the entire book in one sitting, because I wanted it to last.  To be honest, the last time I took the time to slow myself down while reading was when I …
