Review: Adrienne Young's Epic YA Viking Fantasy 'Sky In The Deep'
Raw, vivid, gritty and beautiful โ SKY IN THE DEEP is Amazing! Brutal, vivid and filled with gritty action, Adrienne Young's debut novel SKY IN THE DEEP is a Viking fantasy featuring one of the fiercest female warriors I have come across recently in young adult literature. Eelyn is not your average heroine. Friends, you are going to fall hard for her.

My Plain Jane by Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, and Jodi Meadows
I'm completely besotted with My Plain Jane by Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, and Jodi Meadows! Based on the beloved classic JANE EYRE by Charlotte Brontรซ, this retelling comes complete with ghosts, supernatural mayhem, and an irresistible romance to love, plus, our trio of Lady Janies have infused My Plain Jane with their irreverent sense of humor. It's cheeky and I loved every moment reading it!
