Book Review: Fallen Academy Year One

I really had high expectations for this book because the blurb was so reminiscent of my all time favorite series, Harry Potter, only that we are dealing with angels and demons here instead of wizards and witches. In the same vein as those books with hero of destiny theme, Fallen Academy follows the story of Brielle Atwater who did not know that she’s the prophesized Messiah who will end or worsen the war between the angels and demons. I will not bore you with the intricacies of what Fallen Academy is all about as the blurb is pretty clear where…

Book Review: A Betrayal of Storms

The title of this book couldn’t have been more apt after reading it. I just felt betrayed because I deeply believed that A Betrayal of Storms was in the same vein as A Court of Roses and Thorns only to find out that I was misled by the blurb.

I love reading and rating a book for its own merits and not because they are some sort of riding on the coat tails of famous books. In the case of Until We Shatter though, I made an exception because when a book is being touted as Six of…

Book Review: A Monsoon Rising

Monsoon Rising was a 50-50 for me. I’m quite proud that I was able to finish it despite my general boredom reading through pages and pages of the Alaric and Talasyn constant-tug-of-war. I will tell you that I am a sucker for romance but I’d pick up a romance book if I am in the mood to read one. I’d picked Monsoon Rising because I was in the mood to read a YA fantasy book with hints of romance between the characters. I did not expect that this book was 85% romance set in a fantastical world and the main…
