Heartless – Marissa Meyer
Heartless by Marissa Meyer My rating: 4 of 5 stars This book drew me down the rabbit hole and never let go. I hate Marissa Meyer for making me fall in love with these characters when I know that they may not have a happy ending. No, I don’t actually hate her book (I loved…

Wayfarer – Alexandra Bracken
Wayfarer by Alexandra Bracken My rating: 4.5 of 5 stars The sequel and finale to the series is as well written as the first.

A Torch Against the Night by Sabaa Tahir My rating: 4.5 of 5 stars Being a sequel, I can’t say much without spoilers but a Torch Against the Night is just as good as its predecessor. We learn more about the djinn and even another world. I continue to be riveted and wish the third…

A Court of Thorns and Roses – Sarah J Maas
A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas My rating: 4.5 of 5 stars After reading the Throne of Glass series, I didn’t think that I could love SJM’s next series as much. How could it compare? It doesn’t, but not in a bad way. While it’s also a book about the Fae,…
