"What's a Soulmate?" by Lindsey Ouimet (Review)

"What's a Soulmate?" is a creative novel exploring the possibility of soulmates. Libby, our main character, lives in a world where from the day you're born until you meet your soulmate, the world only consist of black, white and gray. It's natural, right? Or it was until Libby met Andrew, her soulmate. Suddenly she was thrown into a world of color, her hair vividly red as her personality.

I personally found this book to be magical in it's own way. The characters were well rounded in their development and not a detail was left unscathed. I enjoyed the atmosphere and the way the words flowed together. I as well enjoyed the detailed wording, it gave the book more feeling to it. It made the words flow off the page. All I truly didn't enjoy is how Libby treats Beth within the novel. Beth is supposed to be Libby's best friend but Libby can be very self centered irregardless of how her life is going. One more thing is just how the ending was, it was cute but I feel there could've been more detail and plot at the end.

"Maybe that's why I'm here," I say, realizing in this very moment what I'm about to say is the absolute truth. "To find out if you're better than this." 

There was a variety of emotions that created a bond absentmindedly between Libby and Andrew. While there are slow part encased within this book, it's excellent in it's own right. This book gives a different reality from ours.The atmosphere crafts this novel into a work of art, it's detail oriented in a way. The world Libby lives in is similar and yet completely opposing to ours. This is a novel that will pull you in, I guarantee you that.

I very much so look forward to more from Lindsey Ouimet. I'm giving this a 4.4 out of 5 stars- I definitely recommend this to all those romantic people out there. You won't regret picking this book up! Caio!

"A Bond of Venom and Magic" by Karen Tomlinson (Review)

This is not your stereotypical YA fantasy, the characters suck you in and you find yourself in a world you haven't known before. There's an action packed feel that keeps you moving through the book. 

I was blessed to get this as an ARC though it took a little bit to finish it, i must say I was impressed. This book shows an interesting side to the world of magic. 

I personally saw Diamond as a intriguing character who though she had flaws, was still a fantastic main character. She's relatable to any audience and that pulls you in.

While the book was fast paced, there are some areas that I wish it would've been slowed down a bit but altogether this was a riveting book!

So if you love fantasy, this is for you- I'm looking forward to the continuation of the series!

4 out of 5 stars would recommend- Caio for now-

"Configured" by Jenetta Penner (Review)


I couldn't help but enjoy reading this book, it was a true page turner. I enjoyed how it was fast paced and full of action. For me, the beginning felt slow but making it through was worth it. The characters developed smoothly. If you enjoyed Divergent or even dystopian books, this is for you!

I'm giving this a 4.4 out of 5 stars because this book was honestly magical, it keeps you on your toes wanting more! I completely recommend you all read this book. Au revior!

"Surviving Gretchen" by Bonnie Daly (Review)

Hello friends! I'm back once more with a new review, this is a book I received as an arc.

This book is beautifully written, it shows an inspirational story about two inseparable best friends. When they meet Gretchen, everything changes. This is a story about trust, not only that but maintaining your friendships not matter how hard people will try to pull you apart.

I fully recommend this to book to teenagers and really anyone. It doesn't matter who you are, this story can show to inspire anyone and give you a new perspective on society and friendship.

I'm give this a 3.9 out of 5 for its beautifully written content! Have a nice night!
