Review: Victorious by VE Schwab (Release 10/06/2026)
We’ve reached the end of the road at last for the Villains series, a conclusion thirteen years in the making, arriving eight years after the second installment. I found the Villains series after reading one of Schwab’s previous series, and remember eagerly awaiting Vengeful’s arrival, so finally saying goodbye to this series is deeply bittersweet.…

Review: Adam, Mine by K Ancrum (Release 09/08/2026)
K. Ancrum describes this book as both the softest and cruelest book she’s ever written, and I can’t think of a better description for what she’s done with this story. Adam, Mine is a Frankenstein retelling, written in Kayla’s signature short-chaptered style. Every time I think there’s no way of topping the previous book Ancrum…

Review: Rebel The Graphic Novel by Marie Lu (Release 09/01/2026)
In the same way that the novel version of Rebel’s release was bittersweet, the release of this book is also bittersweet for me. Seeing the graphic novel run come to a close really feels like putting the final punctuation on Day and June’s story. Rebel is book four in the Legend series, but it’s also…

Review: Daggermouth by HM Wolfe (Release 07/28/2026)
This book is unputdownable. I read the entire book over two days, and every time I put it down, I was just waiting for the next chance to pick it back up.
