I laughed so much while reading this that my husband told me to go in another room. So freaking funny and cute. If I ever get caught up on my reviews I will say more, but for now, I will just say thank you TJ, it was awesome. P.S. Wheels is the best dog ever, and I hope Helena gets her own story someday.

This book made me cry. I spent much of the book wanting to beat Ty and Zane with sticks. They drive me batshit, but I freaking love them. Then the end nearly gave me a heart attack. OMG. Longer review coming at some point. When is book 8 coming out again? 
Lethed (A Guardian of the Angels Novel, #2)
4.31

Wow- great series. Waiting till 2014 for the next one is going to drive me insane

Witt’s dystopian futurist sci-fi just doesn’t disappoint. Continuing in the vein ofStatic and the A Chip in His Shoulder series, Witt has created a believable future world where touching and sex are illegal. Loved it, and I can’t wait for the sequel.

Yay! Another MN story. Other than the fact that I can’t think of Minneapolis as being quite as “small town” as it is painted in the story, I loved it.

May 06, 2013
Something about Damon Suede’s imagery just sucks me right into the world he is writing about, and Horn Gate was no exception. Fucking brilliant, dirty, and not at all what I expected. This would make a great graphic novel. Thanks Damon. This was a nice taste to tide all of us over to your next novel. 🙂
