My favorite part is when Callen is introduced to his team, and my favorite character is Foxtail because she’s really kind and funny.
Belladonna, a fresh new fantasy from Adalyn Grace, got me up with high hopes when I first heard of it. A beautiful cover? An intriguing premise? Young adult fantasy? Sign me up!

Pride and Prejudice was a movie I was dreading to watch. After a rather boring experience with the book, which was extremely slow and hard to read, I had no interest in learning the plot of one of the “greatest stories of all time.” Regardless of my uninterested manner, I ended up watching the movie on a short flight. The experience of watching the movie was extremely different than reading the book. I was addicted from the first scene and loved it till the very end.
