I am not sure what exactly had me reaching for this book. I am not always a fan of young adult thrillers, and at the time of picking this up, it had been a long while since I had done so.This is a simple setup. You have a scholarship girl in a fancy school, and… Continue reading This Book Kills by Ravena Guron

That Wasn’t in the Script by Sarah Ainslee
I have heard of quite a few books on this theme. I only have read one or two before this one. I will start off by saying that the majority of my rating is for the author's writing style. The characters came across as mature but not incongruous with their age. They still held on… Continue reading That Wasn’t in the Script by Sarah Ainslee
Nothing More to Tell by Karen M. McManus
There is something about this author's writing that makes it easy for me to read. Although I am rating this lower than others that I have read by her, I think it is solely because of my previous experience that I am doing so.We have a pair of sisters who are high-achieving in their own… Continue reading Nothing More to Tell by Karen M. McManus
Beyond the Frozen Horizon by Nicola Penfold

How to Win a Breakup by Farah Heron
This was an entertaining book. I don't always enjoy a high-school-based tale(given my current age), but I tend to give it a shot here and there and end up liking some of them.This was one such book, and I ended up reading this in almost a single sitting. The writing was good, and the diverse… Continue reading How to Win a Breakup by Farah Heron
The Limitless Sky by Christina Kilbourne
I really enjoyed the introduction of the book. It drew me to the plot itself. I have imagined collaborating on stories before, but nothing ever panned out in time. I hold out hope that someday it will!This is a standard dystopia scenario. You meet two young adults who live in different scenarios. It is hard… Continue reading The Limitless Sky by Christina Kilbourne
Enola Holmes: The Graphic Novels by Serena Blasco (Original novel by Nancy Springer)
I have read and reviewed the previous work on the blog : here I once again ended up reading the graphic novels close to my watching of the second movie. Although the plots overlap to a minimal degree, there is a significant deviation in the storylines here.If you have watched the movie, you would like… Continue reading Enola Holmes: The Graphic Novels by Serena Blasco (Original novel by Nancy Springer)
