One of my favorite graphic novels. The art is gorgeous and a Hades x Persephone retelling is always a win.

Stunning book 💛 An absolute must read for all Michiganders. I learned so much about indigenous culture within my own state all while being engaged in an intense mystery.

One of the most realistic romances I've ever read. This feels like non-fiction, an intimate look inside the life of a friend.

Darkly funny, twisted and mysterious. I couldn't read this book fast enough. It kept me intrigued the whole time and guessing  until the very end.

Sanders continues to gives hope and inspire a movement of individuals who believe in equity and a better standard of living. An absolute must read.

This was a very compelling thriller. I did not guess the ending and was on the edge of my seat for most of it.

Beautifully written, but I was not prepared for this. I thought I was in store for a heartbreaking romance of lovers lost in time. This is not the case. This is very much a sci-fi book. I found the first half to be disjointed and hard to follow, and I was disappointed by the ending. I think this is a great book for certain people, but I'm not one of them.

What a rollercoaster of a book. When I started this, I was sure it would be a DNF. It felt boring, drawn out and over hyped. However, about 1/4 of the way through I became hooked. The atmosphere, the characters, and the dragons all pulled me in. I can't wait for the sequel.

My very first R.L. Stine book. It was definitely lacking a little in details and got repetitive. However, I can see why the series is so popular. I'd love to give a few more books a try to see if they get better.

Definitely a 4.5 rounded up. 

This book tackles so many social issues and has just enough mystery that I was hooked. However, there are so many unnecessary plots or turns the story takes that leave things so unresolved. Additionally the final twist was rushed and not fleshed out enough.
