Ava: A Hart Twins Novel

by Charyse Allan

Genre: YA Romance/Suspense

Release Date: January 29th 2019

Summary:

Ava has everything planned, as usual. Finish senior year at the top of her class, perform her best dance routine at the dance concert, and have the greatest prom ever. But her best friend, Cade, has other ideas. He convinces Ava to abandon her rigid schedule and enjoy her last year of high school. After letting her hair down for one amazing night and exchanging a steamy kiss with Cade, she’s ready to explore this carefree side of herself, until someone plays a cruel joke on her. Humiliated and hurt, Ava retreats into her carefully constructed box, hoping everything will go back to normal.

But it doesn’t. What she thought was a prank has turned out to be so much more, and she doesn’t even know the half of it. Determined to handle the situation herself, Ava hides her true feelings from her friends and her new love interest, but is quickly pushed past her breaking point. The survival of a sickening betrayal, a broken heart, and a perilous attack mean very little when lost in a game you don’t even know you’re playing.

Campfire by Shawn Sarles – Book Review

campfire First things first, I have to come out and say that I really, really did not enjoy this book.

Like, at all. It was not the book for me.

So far, I have really loved the James Patterson Presents imprint. I loved Girls of Paper and Fire, and Gunslinger Girl and Once & Future are some of my most anticipated. However, this one really fell short. I was hoping for a fun, spooky campfire story, and that is not at all what I got.

So, if you want to hear me rant about this book – my first low star review on this blog – you’ve come to the right place. So here we go.

DISCLAIMER: I reviewed an ARC copy of this book.

Famous in a Small Town by Emma Mills – Book Review

famous in a small townI have heard so much about Emma Mills since I got back into reading. Everyone seems to rave about her cute contemporaries, and I’ve been meaning to pick up something by her for a while, but never got around to it. I am so grateful that Henry Holt sent me a review copy of her newest novel, Famous in a Small Town – because I LOVED it!

I’m not usually the biggest fan of cute contemporaries, but Emma Mills has such a fantastic writing style, I was pulled in immediately and had a hard time putting it down. I finished it in as little time as possible! Read on for the rest of my thoughts on this awesome book.
