Title – Divergent (Divergent #1) Author – Veronica Roth Genre – YA Dystopia Pages – 487 This was one of the books that my friend Aa’ishah over at Reading Under the Stars recommended to me which is found on my Recommendations page.

Review – Savannah Grey by Cliff McNish

Title – Savannah Grey Author – Cliff McNish Genre – YA Fantasy Romance Pages – 234 This book didn’t do it for me… So here is a synopsis from Goodreads, especially for you my fellow bloggers… 15 year old Savannah Grey has never felt she’s belonged.

Birds behave strangely; gusts of wind blow leaves so fiercely they seem to lure people away. And Savannah learns she has supernatural powers. Nature […]

Review – Poison Heart by S.B. Hayes

Title – Poison Heart Author – S.B. Hayes Genre – YA Contemporary Romance Pages – 360 This is the second book in my Sunday Showcase (#1) , Poison Hear by S.B. Hayes. This is another type of YA a book that gripped me from the start… Not just the cover, which looks great but the general storyline and plot of the book just seemed fresh and new from what I usually read. It was amazing… I’ll let my synopsis explain for itself… Luminous green eyes stare at her from the opposite bus; they both state at each other…that’s where it all begins. […]
