Forever Maggie Stiefvater This is hard to review because I don’t want to give anything away to those that haven’t started on the series yet. To find out if the trilogy is your thing check out my review of Book One in the trilogy Shiver (Hint: the wolf on the cover gives you clue about [...]

Ashes
Ashes Ilsa J. Bick I was so lucky with this book. I picked it up off the shelf and started reading without bothering to check out the back cover. This meant I had no idea what Ashes was about. The story started off slow and dramatic. Seventeen year old Alex is on a trip into a remote [...]

“Goodness doesn’t come for free”.
