My reviews- My reviews will always be my honest opinion. Accepting a book for review does not guarantee a positive review. I reserve the right to decide not to review a title for any reason. 

FTC Disclaimer - I do receive some books directly from the authors or publishers for review purposes. Each review posted is my own personal opinion and any books I accept are not guaranteed a positive review. I do not receive monetary gain from reviewing those books I accept.
I include affiliate links to Amazon in my reviews and other posts. Those links will take the reader to Amazon.com and I do receive a small percentage of each purchase.
