Review: Red Star Rebels by Amie Kaufman (Release 02/10/2026)
Some of the action scenes were fun, and it definitely could be described as “Home Alone” but on Mars. I found the twists to be well-done, but the romance was a weak spot for me.

Review: Queen of Faces by Petra Lord (02/03/2026)
This was a fun book with an interesting cast of characters! I thought the magic system was well-designed and one of the stronger parts of this novel’s world-building.

Review: Coldwire by Chloe Gong (Release 11/04/2025)
2010s style dystopia is back! Chloe Gong continues to be unbeatable in her YA novels. This book is best enjoyed going in as blind as possible. I immediately wanted to re-read the book once I finished and put it down.

Review: The Book of Elsewhere by Keanu Reeves and China Miéville (Release: 07/23/2024)
The Book of Elsewhere is a somewhat mind-bending book. I happily let myself simply be pulled along by the story, since it’s a complex non-linear path from beginning to end.

I received an eARC of this novel from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Review: Gearbreakers by Zoe Hana Mikuta (Release 06/29/2021)
I received an ARC of this book from the publisher through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Gearbreakers is a fast-paced debut sci-fi YA novel that asks the question of if there is any truly effective way to fight gods. I really enjoyed this book or the first 70% of it at least. I…
