{Book Review}: The Cruel Prince by Holly Black

  I have seen this series on #bookstagram for a while now & was so curious. The cover art is also equally enticing. I don’t read as much YA as I used to, so I wasn’t sure if I was going to get into it especially since the Fae world was not always my favorite

{Book Review}: The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon

Just the sheer size of this novel really intimidates you. 848 PAGES! I have not read a book this large since the Harry Potter series.

{Book Review}: American Predator by Maureen Callahan

If you are big into true crime, then you definitely have to read this by Maureen Callahan. Israel Keyes is the serial killer that no one has really heard of and will inevitably creep you out.
