Hey friends!

Today I'm going to be sharing with you a no spoiler book review for Renegades by Marissa Meyer! Marissay Meyer is also the author of The Lunar Chronicles and Heartless (read more: Heartless no spoiler book review) and I've read all of her work except for the novellas and short stories.

I was quite excited to read her new book because I know she had the potential to do an amazing job and books about superheroes get me SO excited but as you can tell by the title, I wasn't a fan of this one.

Hunting Prince Dracula Book Review | sprinkledpages

Hey friends!

Today I’m going to be bringing you mini reviews of Fireblood by Elly Blake which is the second book in the Frostblood trilogy (read more: Frostblood book review) and Hunting Prince Dracula by Kerri Maniscalco which is also the second book in the Stalking Jack The Ripper trilogy (read more: Stalking Jack The Ripper book review).

I was so excited for both the sequels after having loved the first book in the series and I’m so excited to be sharing my thoughts for them with you!

Thank you to Date A Book for sending me these books for review however all thoughts and opinions are my own and this is an honest review.

Hello hello, my lovely friends!

As you can tell from the title, today I’m going to be sharing with you four reasons you should read Moxie by Jennifer Mathieu! This was such a cute book and I highly recommend not only for you to read it, but also for you to encourage others around you to read it. It has such a powerful message and one worth sharing. And don't worry, it's spoiler free!

The Last Namsara Book Review | sprinkledpages

Hey friends!

It’s been a while, I know, sorry about that. I have been doing a lot of reading during the time I’ve been away so lots of new reviews are coming your way but I’ve been in a bit of a blogging slump hence the lack of content! But now I am back (and hopefully better than ever!)

So today I’m going to be chatting a little about that feeling when you’re reluctant to pick up a book, 100% sure it isn’t for you but then out of some magical, compelling force, you decide to give it a read and then WHAM it’s great!

That’s how I felt when reading The Last Namsara by Kristen Ciccarelli. (Which I read and finished today and then promptly posted my review for it!)

There was quite a bit of hype surrounding this when it came out and I kept seeing it everywhere on the internet, but I wasn’t really sure it was for me. Some how though, through some odd force of nature, I picked it up and guess what? I really liked it!

I do tend to read books outside my genre when I’ve heard really good reviews for them, as I trust my fellow bloggers, and it’s a really lovely feeling when you take a chance on a book for it to actually pan out the way you had hoped.

But enough of my blabbing about why I enjoyed this, and let’s get started on my thoughts!

Hi, hello friends!

Today I’m going to be sharing with you a spoiler free review for Godsgrave by Jay Kristoff which is the second book in the Nevernight chronicles. Jay Kristoff is also the co-author of the Illuminae Files (read more: Illuminae book review). Going into this, I wasn’t overly hopeful, NOT because I don’t think Kristoff is a great writer (he totally is!) but because I’m not much of a dense fantasy gal.

However, suffice to say, I loved it!

In case you can’t tell by the title, I gave this book a solid five stars, and it was my second five star read out of the 100+ books and I didn’t think I’d find another book to give five stars to but then I read this and yes, it was pretty damn good.
