Book Review: ‘The Unex..

The Unexpected Everything was a book on my MUST HAVE IMMEDIATELY list since its cover was released, because what book doesn’t scream best summer read EVER when there are puppies and ice cream trucks on the front? And honestly, just as all of Matson’s other novels, it’s perfection on paper. Andie, an intense, do-it-all, Congressman’s daughter, is the character The Unexpected Everything is centered on. She’s driven, focused, and completely out of her element when […]

Book Review: ‘Heir of ..

Fair warning, people! Not only will there be spoilers for Heir of Fire (clearly marked) in this article, there will also be spoilers from Throne of Glass and Crown of Midnight in this review. So if you haven’t started the series yet, and want to be surprised, I’d suggest stopping now. Although your visitation to Book Twister is greatly appreciated! Second fair warning, this review is going to be longer than most of my others […]

Book Review: ‘The Hear..

Sometimes, like any other book lover, I just need a read like Ali Novak’s The Heartbreakers. It’s fluffy, fun, sappy, and just kind of perfect. Basically, The Heartbreakers is the kind of fun dream that everyone has, whether they admit it or not. Girl meets cute guy out of nowhere. Cute guy turns out to be a megastar. Girl and guy fall in love and a song gets written and everyone lives happily ever after. […]

Book Review: ‘Yellow B..

If you were looking for Danielle Paige’s Yellow Brick War, the third novel in her hit Dorothy Must Die series, to be the final book that wraps up Amy’s misadventures in Oz, you’d be very wrong. (I know I was!) Instead, I was left with yet another cliffhanger that’s left me dying for more! Just like The Wicked Will Rise, Yellow Brick War starts off right where its predecessor ended. Amy is back in her […]

Book Review: ‘The Wick..

Picking up The Wicked Will Rise by Danielle Paige threw me for a bit of a loop because it had been so long since I’d read Dorothy Must Die, the first novel in this series about a very twisted Oz. But it was one of the best loops that I’ve been thrown through in a while and I can’t help but remember why I loved Amy Gumm and her mission to kill Dorothy Gale in […]

Book Review: ‘I Woke U..

When I saw the title of Judy Sheehan’s I Woke Up Dead at the Mall, I couldn’t not pick up a copy. And while it wasn’t one of the best novels I’ve read so far this year, it was definitely entertaining and enjoyable enough to stick with. Sheehan’s novel follows the afterlife of Sarah, a young girl who dies after eating mushrooms at her father’s wedding. And what’s even worse, she dies in a mango […]

Book Review: ‘Girl Onl..

Girl Online On Tour, Zoe Sugg’s follow up to her massively successful first novel, Girl Online, kept the campy, corny feel of its predecessor while expanding Penny’s world view, something I appreciated as a reader. And that’s why Girl Online On Tour works. In this sequel, our favorite klutz Penny gets a taste of her rockstar boyfriend’s life, joining him on a three-week tour across Europe. What 16-year-old girl wouldn’t love that? But what was […]

Book Review: ‘Picture ..

There’s only one thing to say about Picture Perfect, Holly Smale’s third venture into her Geek Girl series… Holly, how could you end it like that?! We Hollys need to stick together! Okay, obviously I have quite a bit more to say about this novel, because it’s another wonderful example of Smale’s ability to tell stories through strong narration and witty language, but that ending. (Also, obviously, I’m not going to tell you anything about […]

Book Review: ‘My Life ..

Ali Novak’s My Life with the Walter Boys is the kind of read that I’m pretty sure could have been a fanfic at one point in time, under the right circumstances, and that fact leaves me a little conflicted. Did I hate this book? Not at all! But are there some definite flaws within the story? You betcha. So here’s the deal: Jackie loses her entire family in a car accident and is shipped off […]

Book Review: ‘Stars Ab..

So it only took me FOREVER to get around to reading Stars Above by Marissa Meyer, a series of short stories that expand upon her wildly successful (and totally amazing) series The Lunar Chronicles. And I wasn’t disappointed in the slightest. I mean honestly, everyone who’s read Meyer’s The Lunar Chronicles series knows how hard it was to say goodbye to Cinder & Co. at the end of Winter, so Stars Above is like a […]
