Easy by @tammarawebber
Heidi’s Review: There is just something about a man who saves the day . . . or your life. For Jacqueline that night happened two weeks after her d.bag boyfriend dumped her. We all know college is a chance to spread your wings, learn to fly and all that happy jazz, but when your high school girlfriend tells you she’s following you to college, you break-up than, not during the semester because you want to test the waters from the nearby sorority. Yeah, that is exactly what Jacqueline’s boyfriend did . . . good riddance. Back to the knight and … Continue reading

PREVIEW: The Last Echo by Kimberly Derting

PREVIEW: PANDEMONIUM by Lauren Oliver @Oliverbooks
Pandemonium OMFG the last 85 pages truly deserves in itself. I’m going to be completely honest here, Pandemonium moved very slow for me, but so did Delirium. I often found myself putting the book down for a day or more just to take a break. It’s not that I don’t like it, I do. I just can’t explain why I’ve had trouble getting through these two novels. But after reading Pandemonium, Lauren Oliver is right up there with major cliff hanger artist. Yes that is a newly self-dubbed title. I literally said, “Oh snap,” when I finished the book. It … Continue reading
