I love to read and would love to be able to talk about the books I read with a lovely community. I read almost anything and really struggle to talk about the books I love the most for some reason.

Claudia's Reviews:

Horror Triple Feature

The Only Good Indians by Stephen Graham Jones

Just Like Mother by Anne Heltzel

Spontaneous Human Combustion by Richard Thomas

by Leave a Comment

Here are three separate novels that fit the horror or suspense genre! Quick ratings: The Only Good Indians: 4 stars Just Like Mother: 3 stars Spontaneous Human Combustion: Unrated (not my thing but not bad) The Only Good Indians This book feels like it is a story told in two parts. The first being a very gripping and effective psychological horror and the second being well – a little bit different and in my opinion, a little less effective. The novel follows a band of […]

Anthologies in Fantasy should be everywhere

Graceling by Kristin Cashore

Fire by Kristin Cashore

Bitterblue by Kristin Cashore

Winterkeep by Kristin Cashore

This is a fantasy series that focuses on a different story and characters each novel. Some characters may cross over and be the main for more than one but the situation would be drastically different. I absolutely love this way of storytelling and think it allows for fresh and fun ideas, vastly different aspects of a fantasy world, and new and fun romances almost every story (if you are into that kind of thing!). Here are my reviews for each individual novel which star rating […]

A Good Girl's Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson

Good Girl, Bad Blood by Holly Jackson

As Good As Dead by Holly Jackson

by 2 Comments

So I have fallen almost laughably behind on posting reviews here (like an entire cannonball behind of books I have read/reviewed and not posted). So whoops. Going to try to be better about keeping up! I’m going to post a couple series that I have finished and then I guess just start anew cause walking backwards sounds like a nightmare. When life stops kicking my butt, I plan on wondering through and commenting and being part of the community more! Sorry, it took me a […]

Aladdin Fanfiction? I couldn’t possibly….*downloads immediately*

The Forbidden Wish by Jessica Khoury

by 1 Comment

So this book poses the question that I know we have all just been secretly dying to ask: what if the genie was a hot lady instead of Robin Williams? Turns out it’s a kind of cute and fun romance! And ok there are actually quite a bit of changes other than the hot genie lady thing. ‘Zara’ is the aforementioned genie who is found in her lamp after hundreds of years by the thief Aladdin. Aladdin uses his wishes to set up a plot […]

Foley Double Feature – Two books for the plot of one!

The Guest List by Lucy Foley

The Hunting Party by Lucy Foley

by 3 Comments

My library decided to drop these holds on me a week apart even though they were expected WEEKS apart so I ended up getting both right after the other. I do not think Foley is for me after both these middle ground books. The Guest List I don’t think this book is necessarily bad, but I am not quite so sure why its so popular either. The Guest List is not your typical mystery/thriller, while we know that SOMETHING happens in the future what we […]

Only a man would think a woman safer without her voice

The Frozen Crown by Greta Kelly

The Seventh Crown by Greta Kelly

by Leave a Comment

This is a pretty fun new adult fantasy duology that I enjoyed quite a bit and really don’t see recommend a lot! Continue to read for reviews for both the first and second book! The Frozen Crown This is going to be a pretty short review because I am not sure how to get into this book without spoiling the HELL out of it and I don’t want to do that. SO here we go The Frozen Crown follows our heroine, Askia, the rightful queen […]
