She has been waiting for this day, but not to ascend to her fated throne, but for revenge on those that killed her family. Empress of a Thousand Skies My Thoughts I found this book when I was scrolling through Amazon one day and I just had to have it. The summary sounded amazing and that cover is top notch. Although I did enjoy the book world, I found myself liking some characters more than others. The book is told through two perspectives, Rhee, the crown princess, and Alyosha,…
Cat’s Cradle
Summary Dr. Felix Hoenikker’s entire life revolves around science his whole life and when he died, he left something a little special for his children. A writer interviews his family and discovers that their father’s last gift may be more harmful than helpful. My Thoughts I’ve been a fan of Kurt Vonnegut Jr. and his crazy and outrageous stories for a long time. I mean I read most of his books in college so unfortunately this book was a LOT for me. It really took me back to the days of my college literature classes so it was an adjustment to read this over my normal romance, fantasy, and thrilling…

Vengeful Review
Summary Marcella Riggins has been done wrong. She is a smart, savvy and gorgeous woman married to one of the most powerful mob bosses in Merit City. She was the perfect wife, but when her husband betrays her, she will become just a little vengeful…. My Thoughts OMG! THIS BOOK WAS KILLER LITERALLY AND FIGURATIVELY. I enjoyed this book so much better than the first for one reason and one reason only, Marcella Riggins…. Marcella Riggins was an instant love character for me from the moment she started talking. Yes, she is bloodthirsty, evil, manipulative, conniving, and vengeful, but this girl has been through hell and back and she didn’t…
