If you haven’t read Lady Midnight yet, you should seriously reconsider your life choices because it is so, so amazing. I could ramble on and on about all the reasons you should pick up this book right now, but I don’t know if they’d let me write more posts for Riveted after that. Instead, I’ve […]

Guess who’s back and ready to spoil another book with her powers of prediction? Me, obvs. Honestly, I’m getting so good at it that I don’t even have to read books anymore. Well ok, I still do, but it’s just to prove that I’m right. Or *ahem* ok…so maybe I wasn’t exactly right last time…but […]

So far I am loving Riveted’s Summer of Supernatural! We’re spending these two weeks celebrating everything mystical, mysterious, or unexplainable with some great free reads and extended excerpts (check them out here!) One of my favorite things about the different supernatural worlds that these books inhabit is that they all work on their own set […]

Samantha Berger, the protagonist of Sasquatch, Love, and Other Imaginary Things finds her parents completely embarrassing. But her parents aren’t the usual brand of whipping-out-the-baby-photos-to-boyfriends humiliating — they’re Bigfoot hunters who spend most of their weeks trekking through the wilds of Ohio in search of the illusive Sasquatch. To make matters even more blush-inducing for […]

Here are five things you may not know about the Sky Fall series. 1. The setting of the books (the Coachella Valley, CA) is where I grew up. So all those details about the date roaches and the dust storms and the unrelenting heat are things I’ve personally experienced. Vane’s house is also modeled off of […]

There’s a lot of political scheming, some family drama, and a hint of forbidden romance that will set your fingers itching to […]

If you haven’t joined the Shadowhunters yet, you’re missing out! Through her Mortal Instruments, Infernal Devices, and Dark Artifices series, Cassandra Clare has created an enthralling and all-consuming world that millions of readers have jumped right into (the Riveted Team included). In her latest book from the Dark Artifices series, Lord of Shadows, we learn […]

  Happy Monday! It’s officially the last week of August, so it’s safe to say that we’re all feeling a little bit of summertime sadness. That’s why we’ve decided to extend our Summer of the Supernatural reads for an additional week AND add some fun new books for your reading pleasure! There are plenty of books […]

The rules of the SAT’s change every few years, sections of the test come and go, and vocabulary words are never the same. However, the pressures surrounding the dreaded SATs will always come with hilarious but cringe-worthy stories! The Odds of Lightning takes place over one night—the night before the SATs, during a wild thunderstorm that […]

In The Last Magician, Esta is tasked with traveling into the past to help steal a magical book and keep it from being destroyed. Esta lives in the modern day, but the book she’s stealing is in 1902. When she arrives, New York City is way different than her version of it — for one […]
