Book Reviews

An archive of all books I’ve reviewed across a variety of genres, including fantasy, romance, nonfiction, and more.

For an alphabetical list, check out my Title Index or Author Index!

Book Review: Saga, Vol. 1 [The Trusty Bookmark]

Book Review: Saga, Vol. 1 – Brian K. Vaughan, Fiona Staples

I can’t think of any other way to describe Saga except as “strange yet fascinating”. I read this in a single session and I’m itching to pick up the next.

Book Review: The Queen's Rising [The Trusty Bookmark]

Book Review: The Queen’s Rising – Rebecca Ross

Please force your way through Part One, because Part Two+ was so much better. The latter is filled with action-packed scenes and I could not put this down.

Book Review: Stalking Jack the Ripper [The Trusty Bookmark]

Book Review: Stalking Jack the Ripper – Kerri Maniscalco

I see why others have given it 5 Stars and I definitely recommend it (and I might even read the sequel because I’m a sucker for plot-driven books).

Book Review: Scorpio Races [The Trusty Bookmark]

Book Review: Scorpio Races – Maggie Stiefvater

With a visually stunning setting (full of craggy cliffs and vicious, magical island horses) and a sweet love story, this was a really enjoyable book.

Book Review: My Lady Jane [The Trusty Bookmark]

Book Review: My Lady Jane – Cynthia Hand, Jodi Meadows, Brodi Ashton

This was a silly, fantastic, linguistically clever book in a completely unique writing style. One of my go-to rereads and I cannot wait for the sequel.

Book Review: Renegades [The Trusty Bookmark]

Book Review: Renegades – Marissa Meyer

I liked this book. The storyline was engaging and the plot interesting and unique. I’ll even likely reread it. But I am just…very confused after the ending.

Book Review: Nimona [The Trusty Bookmark]

Book Review: Nimona – Noelle Stevenson

If your thing is/might be/could ever be villains believing in love, loyalty, and the goodness of people (*happy sigh*), then you must read this right now.

Book Review: It's Not Okay [The Trusty Bookmark]

Book Review: It’s Not Okay – Andi Dorfman

For a very entertaining read of honest breakup advice and juicy details on Andi’s experience with the Bachelor franchise, It’s Not Okay was a great book.
