ARC Review: Curse Bearer #2
A review for the second novella in the Curse Bearer series by Veronica Roth. . To Clutch a Razor is just as dark as the first book and just as riveting. I love the characters and the themes of betrayal, vengeance and what it means to be a monster are well done.

ARC Review: The Charlatan Duology #2
A review for the second book in the Charlatan Duology by Holly Black. Thief of Night starts off pretty much where the first book ended with Charlie in over her head and making bad decisions. This is a great blend of urban fantasy and noir with a magical system based on shadows.
