REVIEW: The Devil You Know by Trish Doller

JiaB ReviewsBloomsbury / Contemporary / Florida / road trip / Young-AdultComments Off on REVIEW: The Devil You Know by Trish Doller

Dear Ms. Doller, My introduction to your books was Something Like Normal, which was one of the very first new adult novels I ever read. I loved that novel and still think it captures the new adult experience very well. Your second novel, Where the Stars Still Shine, didn’t sound ... more >

REVIEW: Daughter of Deep Silence by Carrie Ryan

JiaB ReviewsDutton / revenge / thriller / Young-AdultComments Off on REVIEW: Daughter of Deep Silence by Carrie Ryan

Dear readers, The last book of Carrie Ryan’s I read was The Forest of Hands and Teeth. Remember that one? A lot has changed since then! That was a zombie novel; this is a thriller. This year has proved interesting in terms of YA books for me. I seem to ... more >

Guest ReviewerB Reviewsdemons / Fairy-Tales / Fantasy / Magic / mythology / Young-Adult7 Comments

REVIEW: The Secrets We Keep by Trisha Leaver

JiaC ReviewsContemporary / family relationships / grief / Macmillan / twins / Young-AdultComments Off on REVIEW: The Secrets We Keep by Trisha Leaver

Dear Ms. Leaver, I just can’t seem to get enough of stories about twin sisters. I wouldn’t go so far as to say it’s a bulletproof kink, but if someone says their book is about twins, I’m probably going to give it a try. Your novel, The Secrets We Keep, ... more >
