2.5? This was one of my most anticipated reads of 2018 but for some reason I still went in with some doubts, and I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised -for the most part-. If I could sum this up in one word it?d be - fun. That?s it, it was a fun and engaging read that h...

I am in shock. Could this be real? Could this really be my first five-star read - one that's not a children's book - of 2018? Because after a string of dnf's, I honestly thought this day would never come. And yet, here I am, completely head over heels over To Kill a Kingdom by Alexa...

I?m an absolute sucker for mermaid/siren books and faery tale retellings, but I was initially a bit apprehensive about giving this a try, considering the mixed reviews and hype that I?ve seen circulating around GoodReads. But just like Hans Christian Andersen?s original Little Me...
I FINISHED THIS AT 2AM (ON A SCHOOL NIGHT) Yes, I should have been asleep because I wake up at 5:00. Well, who cares? This book was fantastic (as I've already mentioned before) and I had a good 3 hours to spare! I can totally run on 3 hours of sleep, psh. (Yes, I fall asleep during ...

2.5? This was one of my most anticipated reads of 2018 but for some reason I still went in with some doubts, and I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised -for the most part-. If I could sum this up in one word it?d be - fun. That?s it, it was a fun and engaging read that h...
THE REVIEW IS POSTED 2.7 STARS I honestly don't know where to begin. This book disappointed me very much and it's not like I had high expectations before reading it, in fact my expectations before reading it were pretty low because I didn't know what to expect and I just wanted...

Let me say, first and foremost, that I am such a total sucker for books revolving around the ocean, whether it involves pirates, mermaids, sirens, sea creatures, or any mix of those things. When I first heard about this story of a vicious siren chasing down a pirate prince who slays he...

I am in shock. Could this be real? Could this really be my first five-star read - one that's not a children's book - of 2018? Because after a string of dnf's, I honestly thought this day would never come. And yet, here I am, completely head over heels over To Kill a Kingdom by Alexa...

I?m an absolute sucker for mermaid/siren books and faery tale retellings, but I was initially a bit apprehensive about giving this a try, considering the mixed reviews and hype that I?ve seen circulating around GoodReads. But just like Hans Christian Andersen?s original Little Me...
I FINISHED THIS AT 2AM (ON A SCHOOL NIGHT) Yes, I should have been asleep because I wake up at 5:00. Well, who cares? This book was fantastic (as I've already mentioned before) and I had a good 3 hours to spare! I can totally run on 3 hours of sleep, psh. (Yes, I fall asleep during ...
This book was so much fun! First, you have a wicked siren, who rips out a princes heart each year for her birthday! With her bare freaking hands! I loved Lira! Then we meet Prince Elian, who isn?t just your normal boring prince, he?s pretty much a pirate! He had awesome integrit...

Can I afford to add another book to my ever growing to-be read pile? No! Am I going to add this awesome book that seems to feature not only a siren but also a handsome pirate prince? ABSO-FREAKING-LUTELY!!!! <333 ...
? You can now find my full review here! ? I finished reading this very hyped book?and I wasn?t crippled by disappointment? To quote May: ?omg, lily liking a popular book?? is the world still spinning??? It may have stopped for a second, or two. But, in all seriousness, ...
2.5? This was one of my most anticipated reads of 2018 but for some reason I still went in with some doubts, and I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised -for the most part-. If I could sum this up in one word it?d be - fun. That?s it, it was a fun and engaging read that h...
THE REVIEW IS POSTED 2.7 STARS I honestly don't know where to begin. This book disappointed me very much and it's not like I had high expectations before reading it, in fact my expectations before reading it were pretty low because I didn't know what to expect and I just wanted...
4 ?An awesome debut novel? Stars ?Pirates are liars by trade and royals are liars by blood.? This is a fantasy novel in I had a blast while reading it, it was such a fun experience. And recently this has been a struggle since I am shifting my reading preferences towards the...
Let me say, first and foremost, that I am such a total sucker for books revolving around the ocean, whether it involves pirates, mermaids, sirens, sea creatures, or any mix of those things. When I first heard about this story of a vicious siren chasing down a pirate prince who slays he...
?Technically, I?m a murderer, but I like to think that?s one of my better qualities.? Rating: 5/5 stars Sirens. Princes. Betrayals. Oh my! Have you ever read book before that you could describe as delicious? Because that is the first word that comes to mind when I thi...
Pretty damn good peeps! Mel ? ...
I am in shock. Could this be real? Could this really be my first five-star read - one that's not a children's book - of 2018? Because after a string of dnf's, I honestly thought this day would never come. And yet, here I am, completely head over heels over To Kill a Kingdom by Alexa...
this is my first proper review in forever yikes I am screaming into the void right now bc lately I?ve only been able to compulsively reread old favs and when I don?t I spend 16 years on A SINGLE BOOK But damn, this book was so bingeable I literally couldn?t stop (this is my...

Meet our two main characters-- Lira: In one move, I plunge my fist into the prince?s chest and pull out his heart. Elian: Technically, I?m a murderer, but I like to think that?s one of my better qualities. That should give you a sense of what to expect. To Kill a Kingdom is ...
Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. I am just sitting here in shock and full of feels and alskfjal;skdjfa;lksjf GO ORDER THIS BOOK RIGHT NOW. How am I supposed to write a coherent review? Gah! Okay *breathes* So if you haven't seen the description, this is somewhat of a little mermaid r...
Dark, seductive and oh so beautiful. Dark as a stormy night. Seductive as the call of a siren. Beautiful like the bluest sea. I marvel at how wonderful most of the 2018 YA releases have been. Even though the time I dedicate to reading is far less than what my heart desires (thank...

I HAVE A HEART for every year I?ve been alive. There are seventeen hidden in the sand of my bedroom. Every so often, I claw through the shingle, just to check they?re still there. Buried deep and bloody. I count each of them, so I can be sure none were stolen in the night. It?...
A bewitchingly dark retelling of The Little Mermaid. In which both the siren princess and human prince want to cut each other?s throats if that?s the last thing they do. Lovely. My newfound love of dark fairytale retellings?caused by Lost Boy: The True Story of Captain Hoo...
I?m disappointed with how mediocre this was. It?s described as a dark and romantic story. It was dark at the beginning, then turned into mush. By the way our main characters were introduced, I was expecting some straight-up nastiness and bravado. False advertisement that was beca...
Everything about this book was a salty swashbuckling GLORY and I loved it. I'm alllll here for pirates and sirens and (dark) Little Mermaid retellings, and this just delivered omg. Plus it was super funny, and if there's something my dark little heart beats faster for: it's people who ...

RATING: 5/5 I LOVED THIS BOOK!! Is it weird that I am obssessed with the two main characters? They're fkn murderers! I don't think that's ever happened before. It's not my style to include synopsis in my reviews, but I'll make an exception just this once because I really want ot...
That was absolutely brilliant. I'll read anything that has even a hint of a retelling, but this is probably one of the best I've ever found... it's what I never knew I wanted The Little Mermaid to become! Lira's a siren princess whose ruthless Sea Queen mother teaches her to steal p...
