Buddy Review | The Cruel Prince – Holly Black
One of the most hyped books from the last two years is probably The Cruel Prince by Holly Black. We both owned the first book but didn’t pick it up right away. And then the hype grew and grew and grew, and we were sure there was no way this book would live up to the expectations we had by then. So we waited and we waited and we waited, haha. Last week Melanie from TBR and Beyond proposed to do a buddyread for the whole series with any members of the group who were interested. Of course we jumped on this opportunity and finally dived into this series. We tried to keep our expectations low so we wouldn’t be disappointed. Let’s see if it turned out to be a disappointment or a new favorite! Continue reading “Buddy Review | The Cruel Prince – Holly Black”

Review Blast| Someday, Someday – Emma Scott
Someday, Someday released last Sunday. I was supposed to have my review up then, but a busy few days got in the way. Life happens and that’s okay, but I couldn’t wait to share my thoughts about this book. Someday, Someday is such an emotional story and I’m amazed by how the author created emotions like this. Keep on reading for my full review!
A big thanks to the author and Social Butterfly PR for an ARC to read and review. I do need to add that this book deals with a lot of heavy issues (Abuse, Homophobia, Substance Abuse, Addiction, Implied Suicide, Torture, Prostitution) and can be hard to read!
