  We ruined ourselves the day of our first kiss. To say this was different and brimming with a WHOLE LOT OF ANGSTINESS, is putting it mildly.This is my first read by this author and really enjoyed the originality of her writing.Of course, I went in completely blind and suggest you do the same. I will tell you though, this is a YA read, as the characters are seniors in high school.Revenge is the main theme in this storyline, and wow, is it is given out in spades. A right side of the railroad tr...

oh fuck. this suck.this one of my most anticipated reads of 2019. to say i was hyped for a spin off of Sinners of Saint would be a massive understatement. i love me a depraved bully romance.but i think i should have known after reading LJ's last two standalones that maybe her shit just wouldn't be for me anymore. because this was formulaic as hell.what you can expect usually is - some sort of enemies to lovers situation- girl falls first, gets betrayed by the dude- and then the dude grovels and

This is without a doubt the best story of 2019 !!!I'm hyperventilating. I'm laughing and crying. I just finished reading my most anticipated reading of all time. And the wait was totally worth it. Mrs. Shen slays again. She caught me with her flawless prose that left me with an EPIC BOOK HANGOVER. Two days in Zombieland because I COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN for a single second and immediately after finishing it, I wanted to read it again and again and again.OMG !! I loved the story so much. It is inte...

Pretty Reckless. This book rendered me speechless. I think I broke the highlight option on my kindle because Leigh had woven a web of perfect, beautiful words. I am still thinking about this book days after I finished it. I’ve read all of Leigh’s books, and I don’t know how she does it, but every single one gets better and better. Which is ridiculous because she started out **** better to begin with. Her writing is insane, the pace to her perfectly executed plot was a work of art, and yup you gu...

“This was so much more than first love. It was first hate, too.” The last two LJ Shen books I’ve read have been so disappointing (In the Unlikely Event & Ruckus), so I think I just need to throw in the towel and realize that Vicious was an exception for me and my tastes. This was just so over the top, questionable throughout, and just relied on miscommunication constantly. It’s really not the enemies to lovers it wishes it was. Basically, the main character has unresolved issues with

- - AVAILABLE NOW- FULL REVIEW - - Wow....just wow! LJ Shen delivers with the second generation of sinners! Get ready. - - - 5 Hideous Monster CROWNSLEIGH SHEN certainly kicks of the second generation of the Sinners of Saints with a bang. The angst and twists and turns are many, the characters are mostly rotten and devious, and yet I was consumed by the whole world and each deviant tothole . These characters aren’t your standard YA girls and boys. Would you expect them to when they are the produ...

I read romance novels for a variety of reasons. On the top of that list is to escape from reality for a bit, get swept away in another world and forget everything else. Pretty Reckless by LJ Shen is the most incredible vacation I’ve ever been on. There are novels I read and love and cherish. But every so often I find a story that hits me so hard I’m irrevocably changed. Pretty Reckless is the latter. I’m certain, even months down the road when the typical grind returns, that I’ll still be obsess...

Pretty Reckless. WOW. I legitimately swooned all the mf swoons and cried all the damn tears! I was beyond excited to get to dive back into the All Saints world I know and love, but this wasn’t just the YA HotHoles 2.0 version, this was even better! These kids are meaner, more entitled, and the last time they gave any f*cks was probably 2015. Maybe. The drama is still there and more captivating than ever. And no one conjures up drama better than the Queen B herself, Daria Followhill. Daria is a s...

Pretty Reckless by L. J. Shen is the first book in the Sinners of Saint spin-off series, All Saints High. It's our long awaited introduction into the angsty world of the spawn of the hotholes of Todos Santos, and it is fucking spectacular! I don't know if I have ever anticipated a series as much as I did this one in all my reading life! It was worth all of the build up, and it did not disappoint in the slightest! It's no secret that I regard Vicious as the best asshole hero ever written and eve...

DNF @ 17ish%I messed up and forgot about some of my friends updates for this when I decided to jump in. I got to the ridiculous "I got his pencil and masturbated with it for revenge" scene and decided to call it quits. I think, sadly, this was a failed attempt at duplicating Vicious. There were a few things that along with that cringeworthy scene ^^ really didn't work for me and made me put it on my did not finish shelf:- The fact that we know why the H hates the h ruins the intrigue that we had...

ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT! I should start out by stating that I generally don't read high school romances. They're just not my thing. But I figured, hey...this was written by Leigh Shen, and I love her writing, and I have a 16 hour flight, so I'll give it a shot. I'm so glad I did! I loved the characters, the world building, and most of all the writing. LJ Shen has an exquisite, original voice and deserves all of her success. If high school romance isn't your thing either--read Pretty Reckless anyway....

Here we go, the time is here, kicking off with this first book in the All Saints High series from LJ Shen. The second generation of the Sinners of Saint and what a fucking beautiful first book it is. It’s packed with so much teen angst and filled with twists and turns that are so unexpected you’re left wondering what the hell happened. It’s takes over, completely consumes you until you’re left with no other thoughts except this book and the characters inside and you won’t regret a single damn se...

this new generation is even worse than their parents. :/

L.J. Shen has once again delivered a powerful and emotional story that has left me obsessed and begging for more!! Her All Saints High series opens with a bang in Pretty Reckless where we see Queen B, Daria Followhill meet her match in Penn Scully, her opposite in every way.  But this Queen did not expect her gamechanger to ultimately become the landmine at her feet systematically blowing up her entire world.Gah!! This story was just outstanding. Penn and Daria have a shared past and secret from...

This book! I am reeling. This was the ultimate binge read. It’s dramatic, it's sexy, it's twisty and dark and so intoxicating you won’t be able to put it down! I'm obsessed. Obsessed with every detail of the story. I LIVE for books that make you feel big, deep, delicious feels, and I LOVE it when a novel has a twist you don't see coming. This was one of those books, and I ate up every word. I devoured it, and I can't get it enough. I seriously ADORE LJ Shen's writing and this world she has creat...

A Top Read of 2019These characters are the most complicated, entertaining, and unique characters I’ve ever read. Flat out AMAZING! Another EPIC read from one of my favorite authors!! This book is pure fucking kindle crack. The angst! The drama!! Prepare my lovelies! The second generation of Sinners will blow you away!Daria Followhill is my favorite L.J. Shen heroine. I’ve never felt this way, EVER, about a heroine in a book. She’s so complex, layered, and ultimately...misunderstood. My heart bro...

“No offense, sir, but one of your daughters is entirely too young for me, and the other is entirely too Daria for me.” Is this happening? Can it be? Did Alex just rate an L.J Shen book more than 3 stars? Did Alex just actually enjoy the everloving shit out of this problematic as fuck book? *Owen Wilson voice* WooOOWwW_______________ Explain yourself, Alex So in the past, Ms. Shen and I have not gelled well together. I find her books very heavily controversial and are often filled wit
