This book took me a bit longer to get into than the other ones. I think I was having a harder time connecting with Amalie than I had with Etta or Len but about halfway through the book really picked up for me. In Glass Princess, the tension between Amalie...

To say that this book was one of my most anticipated releases for 2021 is an understatement. After the impact of The Kinder Poison, I’ve been waiting to get my hands on this book. And it definitely did not disappoint. The tone was definitely different than the first book, which...

Oh my goodness what a way to end this series! I honestly took a little longer to finish this book than the first two because I wanted to savor every minute of it. This was probably my favorite book of the trilogy which is perfect since it was the last...

I absolutely loved this sequel. The first one was such a good set up for this book. Nita is free from the Black Market but now with INHUP, who is not safe either. And who else is there but Fabricio? The buildup is great and all of the folllow up...

So, this book was not what I was expecting it to be. First, it takes place in the real world. The black market and everything is in South America and it was just really well done. I like that this wasn’t done in a fantastical sort of setting where it...

I've honestly had my eye on this book for a while, and finally decided to pick it up. As the book started I thought to myself, wait... is this a Tristan & Isolde retelling? When I looked up the summary, I discovered I was. I don't know why I love...

There were so many things I really liked about this book. The case of the missing girls was obviously the major plot point of the story but there was so much more to it. What I’d like to clear up that the summary doesn’t really is that the incident of...

I really enjoyed this trilogy. Honestly, I did. The whole world was interesting and the way everything played out - it was brilliant. The one thing I really like the Shusterman does is how he titled every book in the series. The importance of the title was really the importance...

I am seriously loving this Teen Titans series so much. Watching the show growing up, it means a lot to me seeing them come to print form this way. While I loved all of the characters, I really enjoyed Beast Boy. There was so much to his character and this...

Feedback What a difference between book 1 and book 2. I enjoyed this one so much more, and I have my guesses why. First, the writing - I don't remember the first book being as funny as this one. The dialogue was better between the characters,...

This was actually a pretty interesting story. At first I really wasn't sure how it was going to go so I was curious from the beginning. The beginning of the book though was a little slow. It took me a little bit to get into the story but once it...

If your expecting the same type of books that you’ve been reading in this series, you’d be wrong. This whole book had a darker and more serious tone to it. Lyra and Pantalaimon have been affected by the events they had gone through, which changes the story. Their adventure is...

From start to finish I absolutely adored this story. The opening scene was so much fun to read while Zahru and Hen conned their way onto the boat so Zahru could go to the castle and see the celebration. It was just supposed to be one night of fun, what...

Oh the feels this book gave me. Davi's officially back but still not really? His memories are all over the place while he tries to remember what is true and what is false. Rissa is still all moody and dark. Trystan is trying to do right by everyone without losing...

This second entry was good, well technically fifth. I am really glad that the story picked up right after the events of Glass Kingdom. Lynn dives right into the effects of Cole's take over and what that means as Helena, Dell, Edmund, and the others left for safety. The constant...
