Review of 'Bad Graces'
Bad Graces continues McCauley’s natural penchant for telling impactful stories about women in a chilling and gothic fashion.

New Girl: Chapter Twelve
Valentine’s Day was finally here. Waking up in an uncharacteristically good mood, Lucita woke with a smile. Taking a look in the mirror, she grabbed her palette of eyeshadow. Taking her cheap drugstore brush, the one she used for everything, she put on a base of white eyeshadow. Next, she patted some red eyeshadow, creating a nice gradient on her eyelid. Then, as usual, she lined her eyes in pitch-black eyeliner.

Dreadful is yet another cozy fantasy, layered to the brim with heart and humor, as it follows Gav trying to navigate who he is versus who he wants to be.

New Girl: Chapter Eleven
Lucita could feel the water going into her lungs as it wrapped itself around her in a suffocating embrace. Then, finally, she heard voices as she fell back, Cyrus calling her name. Would he save her when she couldn’t even save herself?

Review of 'The Lightstruck'
Sunya Mara brings readers back to her crumbling kingdom that was shrinking from the outside by a storm that encircled it, twisting everything it touched. While there are many differences, this book felt too similar to The Darkening.

New Girl: Chapter Nine
Lucita was doodling his name again. Sitting in Algebra I was boring the hell out of her. She already knew this, and had the school just accepted her homeschooling paperwork, they would know she was smarter than this. She needed to get out.

Review of 'Within These Wicked Walls'
I picked up Within These Wicked Walls because it was marketed as an “Ethiopian-inspired fantasy retelling of Jane Eyre.” While I loved the story, it was perfectly creepy, and I failed to see the retelling aspect of the story.

New Girl: Chapter Eight
Rebecca made her way to class, her bag strapped closely to her back, thinking back to Lucita and Cyrus and their strange relationship. It only made her think about the similarities she had with Blake. Except Blake would probably never put an arm around her possessively or look at her like Cyrus had looked at Luci. Even though it was obvious he was in complete denial of his feelings for her, Becca had seen it.

Review of 'A Fate Inked In Blood'
A Fate Inked in Blood is my introduction to Danielle Jensen, the bestselling author of The Bridge Kingdom series. And while I enjoyed the novel and am excited for the sequel, some bits were rocky.

I didn’t know what to expect when I started Bright Ruined Things, but I was impressed by the end. Storytelling

New Girl: Chapter Seven
Lucita sat crossed-legged on her black sofa, TV off, blinds closed, hair tied into a ponytail, bangs brushed out of her face. Something inside her felt broken, so she was working on it, trying to meditate, center herself, and get over whatever was bothering her. But it wasn’t working. She tried to contain her anger and frustration by pinching her eyes shut and clenching her fists.
