Liezel’s Thoughts:
If you asked what was the best thing that I loved most about this book, I wouldn’t be able to pinpoint one specific element. The first thing that caught my attention was the main character – Yadriel. His strength is unparalleled. I am not talking about physical strength rather the strength in his character, in his personality.
To come out to his family as being trans is a challenge all on its own but to …

I have yet to read most of Cassandra Clare’s books but after finishing this story, my love for YA fiction is completely renewed. I am now determined to read the entire series from beginning to end.
I do have to admit, it was difficult for me to fully commit to reading this book. Introducing so many different characters is difficult for me but as the story flows I understood why this was necessary. I learned …
Liezel’s Thoughts:
They said at the end that this story that they wrote was “heavy at times”… for me, that was an understatement. It was heavy from beginning to end. I’m a widow… the main characters of the book are both widows. Need I say more?
What I loved so much about this book was how the writers poured so much emotion into this story. I felt their loss, their despair, the emptiness… it all felt genuine. …
Liezel’s Thoughts:
Say it isn’t so! Did these series have to end? This is definitely one of those series that I wish that could last forever. Why, you might ask? Jude, of course. She is one of those smart, strong-willed, and independent heroines that you could never get enough of.
Time and time again, they try to underestimate her. It was her mortality that made her even better. From the very start, Jude is given tasks to test …
Thoughts:
I am a mood reader – so, I guess I wasn’t in the mood for this book? It was disappointing, really. I know you are going to ask me… Did I even read the first 2 books in the series? Yes, I did, and I immensely enjoyed them, thank you very much.
What was disappointing was I expected so much more. Instead, what I got was a long drawn out whining session from a supporting character. I …
Liezel’s Thoughts:
I didn’t read the synopsis nor check out the reviews before reading “Our Way.” I wanted that element of surprise on my side, and sure enough, it started off as being pleasantly surprised.
Early on, I thought it was terrific witnessing every tiny detail on how Eliza and Nathan’s beautiful friendship unfolded. It definitely was an excellent foundation for a beautiful friendship but what made things complicated was Nathan’s sexuality. The way the author described …
Liezel’s Thoughts:
The Chicagoland Vampires series is definitely one of the best paranormal series to date, BUT … man, after reading the Heirs of Chicagoland, it has fast become my favorite. Come on, what is there not to like when you combine a vampire with that of a shifter’s world?
The characters – Elisa Sullivan and Connor Keene, are what make this series. What is so amazing about Elisa Sullivan is despite how influential her parents are, …
Liezel’s Thoughts:
I’ve put Sea of Ruin on the back burner for weeks. The idea of a historical romance did not appeal to me. Considering it was a story written by Pam Godwin, I decided to give it a shot. I am glad that I did because, without a doubt, the Sea of Ruin is one of the best stories I’ve read this year.
The Sea of Ruin truly is quite the adventure. It is about a …
Liezel’s Thoughts:
I love Pepper Winters. She wrote some of the best dark romances that I have read so far. As soon as this new series was announced that was said to be fairly similar to Monsters In The Dark and the Indebted Series I didn’t hesitate to add this series to my NEED TO READ List.
As mentioned, the Goddess Isles’ storyline is pretty identical to the other series above. The difference is that we are …
Liezel’s Thoughts:
Have you ever read a series that no matter how much time has come to pass you can’t seem to forget… “The Hallows” is that series for me. To be honest, I could’ve been doing something mundane such as eating a tomato and automatically be thrust in Rachel Morgan’s world. The Hallows left one fine lasting impression and that is why I couldn’t wait to get my hands on this book.
What was so great …
