Feyre has undergone more trials than one human woman can carry in her heart. Though she’s now been granted the powers and lifespan of the High Fae, she is haunted by her time Under the Mountain and the terrible deeds she performed to save the lives of Tamlin and his people. As her marriage to Tamlin approaches, Feyre’s hollowness and nightmares consume her. She finds herself split into two different one who upholds her bargain with Rhysand, High Lord of the feared Night Court, and one who lives out her life in the Spring Court with Tamlin. While Feyre navigates a dark web of politics, passion, and dazzling power, a greater evil looms. She might just be the key to stopping it, but only if she can harness her harrowing gifts, heal her fractured soul, and decide how she wishes to shape her future-and the future of a world in turmoil.

This book is the second book in the “A Court of Thorns and Roses” series, and I gotta say that so far I’m actually liking this series. Before getting into this series I thought it would one of those very overhyped YA series which I would end up hating. But after reading the 2 first books in this series I gotta say that so far I’m actually loving this series. 

This book takes the plot of this further and we learn more about the whole universe and about the world’s politics system in a way. 

This book involves less romance aspect but more world building and action which worked for me. Because I was getting a little tired of all the romance in the series from reading the previous book in this series. And thankfully this book focuses the majority of the book on action and on showing us Feyre learning how to control her powers and use them. At the same time this book involves less of the sexual moments which wasn’t that disappointing for me personally.

The characters in this book are so much better than in the first book in this series. Its easy to see that all the characters had a lot of character development and growth from the first book and I personally loved it.

Somehow this book manages to make me love Feyre and Rhysand more than what I did after reading the first book in the series.

At the same time this book adds more characters into the universe, and I gotta say that those new character as well written and made as the characters we got to know in the first book. 

The writing style in this book as in the first book is very very good. Since its like the author know exactly what words to use to completely grab my attention and not let it go until the very end of the book.

The ending of this book is very satisfying and truly worth reading the entire 600+ pages of this book. Yes it might leave us at a cliffhanger but for me it works just fine but I already love this series a lot and the cliffhanger at the end of this book made me want to read the 3rd book in this series even more than I already did.

I Give This Book 4 / 5

As the mysterious Shadow builds an army of demons, Grubbs Grady and his team search desperately for answers. But when they follow up a new lead, it takes them to an old, unexpected foe – the Lambs.

This book is the 8th book in a series called “The Demonata” which I had no idea about before buying and reading this book. Which might be the reason why I hated this book and DNF-ed it. 

To be honest I had no idea what was happening in this book while reading this book. All I know while reading this book was that there were some kind of demons and a group trying to fight them. But let me tell you I was very confused while reading this book which really made me DNF this book very quick. 

The characters here, are very bad. They are flat, shallow and feels like the author didn’t knew or care about giving the readers good character which they would relate to and actually like. I cant tell you specifics about the characters in this book because my brain refused to give them any brain storage or power. 

The writing style in this book are meh, it isn’t good but I for sure have seen worse writing style in my time reading books. 

I Give This Book 1 / 5

When nineteen-year-old huntress Feyre kills a wolf in the woods, a terrifying creature arrives to demand retribution. Dragged to a treacherous magical land she knows about only from legends, Feyre discovers that her captor is not truly a beast, but one of the lethal, immortal faeries who once ruled her world.

I am very surprised with this book. Because I was expecting to not like this book and DNF it along the way. Since I thought that this series was overhyped. But after having read this book I gotta say that I was wrong with my assumptions.

The plot in this book is very unique and very good at the same time. It drags you into the plot instantly and it doesn’t let you go until the very end of this book. I was very obsessed with this book while reading it and I just couldn’t force myself to stop reading this book because I was so deeply consumed by the plot.

The characters in this book are pure gold. They are so well written and so unique. Each of the characters in this book have their own unique personalities and something which sets them apart from the rest of the characters. And if you have read my previous reviews, you know that as long as the characters are good I wont mind a shitty plot. And this book has incredible characters and even better plot. 

The writing style in this book is like the author knew what words to use to complete grab my attention and to not let it go until the very end of this book. This is my first book written by Sarah J Maas, and if she has so incredible writing style in her other books as she had in this one. She might easily overtake Stephen King as my favorite author and become my favorite author.

The ending leaves us at a pretty big cliffhanger, which is so unfair because I have to wait until my second book of this series arrives. Because I have ordered it right after I finished this book.  

I Give This Book 4 / 5

Rotterdam Home, a hospice where teenagers with terminal illnesses went to die, was home to the Midnight Club–a group of five young men and women who met at midnight and told stories of intrigue and horror. One night they made a pact that the first of them to die would make every effort to contact the others from beyond the grave.

To be very honest here I didn’t know much about this book before actually reading it, of course I watched the Netflix series based off on this book but I didn’t know how true the series would be to this book.

This book really surprised me a lot because I really liked it a lot. And I was completely glued to it in just such a way that I read it in less than a year. 

This book is very short read, my copy of this book had only 212 pages and after finishing this book I was very mixed about this book. Because I had a lot of thoughts about this book and a lot of those thoughts weren’t quite on the same page with each other.

On the one hand this book was too short and I would get to know those characters much more and to be on a journey with them for longer than just those 200 pages but at the same time the size of this book was what I needed it to be. Because I have the feeling that if this book was longer than it would quickly become a shitty book. 

The plot in this book is very unique and I for sure haven’t come a plot like this so far. Is about hospice for teenagers with very shitty and terminal illnesses which didn’t have a long time left to live. Its a very devastating plot for sure but at the same time its very unique. 

The ending of this book was very heartbreaking, because of all the things which happen at the end but at the same time its very satisfying end. And I feel like if this book was longer then the ending would have been less satisfying than it actually was. I really like the ending, which made me give this book some extra points for. 

The characters in this book was good, we don’t get a lot of characters in this book but does we get are good. I wouldn’t say that they are very good because we get way too little time with them. The characters doesn’t have a lot to depth to them but its understandable because we only get 200 pages of this book. 

Even tho the characters in this book doesn’t have a lot of depth, they still have things that make them unique and something which makes us the readers like them. 

However I got very annoyed at the very end of this book at Ilonka Pawluk because in my opinion she was way too hopeful and she didn’t feel like the same character we spend the book getting to know. It felt like she has aged 60 years in 1 chapter out of nowhere.

The writing style in this book was very simple and easy to read. And because of the easy and simple writing style this book was very obvious that it is aimed towards the Young Adult genre fans. But I didn’t mind that because I knew from the beginning that this book was aimed towards the YA fans.

The writings style was very good here because it made the whole plot of teenager who have terminal illness less heavier and it made it easier to read with his whole heavy topic going on in this book.

This book is very powerful but at the same time it is also very sad because of the topic. But the way this book presents this very sad plot makes it likable at least in my opinion.

Even thou this book is aimed towards young adults it deals with a very mature topic. Which really surprised me when I started reading this book. But even thou the topic is very heavy and mature the punchline of this book is friendship, love and life when you know it wont last long.

I Give This Book 4 / 5

Aza Holmes never intended to pursue the disappearance of fugitive billionaire Russell Pickett, but there’s a hundred-thousand-dollar reward at stake and her Best and Most Fearless Friend, Daisy, is eager to investigate. So together, they navigate the short distance and broad divides that separate them from Pickett’s son Davis. Aza is trying. She is trying to be a good daughter, a good friend, a good student, and maybe even a good detective, while also living within the ever-tightening spiral of her own thoughts.

To be very honest here, this book surprised me a lot because it was much better than I expected it to be. I didn’t know anything about this book before reading it and let me tell you that this book is very good.

I started reading this book without knowing much about it, and it might have been a good things because I didn’t have any expectations for this book. 

The writing style in this book is very very good, its like the author knew what words to use to completely grab my attention. 

The plot here is very unique here because is about teen girl trying to solve a murder while she is dealing with mental health issue. A lot of these things the plot talked about mental health problems was really relatable for me personally.

I haven’t come across a plot like this one yet so I give the plot in this book some extra points. Because I really really liked it.

The characters in this book weren’t quite the perfect character, but they were good character not like in the previous John Green book I’ve read which was “Paper Towns” were the characters were so damn annoying and shallow. But this book and its characters were very good. 

I liked all of the characters in this book, because all of the characters in this book had their own unique personalities and they had something which made them unique. At the same time they felt like they were real human beings because they had so much personality. And the main characters problems with mental health with anxiety and OCD to be more specific made her feel even more real. Because her issues with mental health felt very similar to my anxiety and panic attacks. And I couldn’t help but relate to her a lot. And feel what she goes through because I go through the same things as she does.

This book will for sure stick with me for a long time because I liked it so much. But also the reason why it will stick with me for a long time is because it truly and accurately describes how it feels like living with anxiety and OCD. This book is very accurate with its descriptions about what goes through your mind when you are living with anxiety and OCD.

I Give This Book 5 / 5

Quentin Jacobsen has spent a lifetime loving the magnificently adventurous Margo Roth Spiegelman from afar. So when she cracks open a window and climbs into his life—dressed like a ninja and summoning him for an ingenious campaign of revenge—he follows. After their all-nighter ends, and a new day breaks, Q arrives at school to discover that Margo, always an enigma, has now become a mystery. But Q soon learns that there are clues—and they’re for him. Urged down a disconnected path, the closer he gets, the less Q sees the girl he thought he knew.

Ive heard a lot of good things about this book and well to put it simple, this books didn’t live up to all the good things I’ve heard about this book. 

The reason why I decided to read this book is because I love “the fault in our stars” which of course is by the same author, and the one of the workers at the bookstore I purchase my books told me that if I loved “the fault in our stars” I will love this book as well. And well I didn’t,  so thanks you to the person who have recommended this book to me (you know who you are.)

To put it very simple this book is all the things you dont want a book to be. And by this I mean boring, uninteresting, meh plot, and the characters are as bad as it they can be. 

Margo, which of course is the female main character is very very bad and very self absorbed which really really pissed me off because she was always acted like the damn world revolved all around her. 

And Quentin which is the male main character was a little bit better, but went Margo bolts from the town he immediately jumps to the conclusion that he is meant to find her and that margo is playing some kind of twisted version of hide and seek with him. 

Both of the main characters in this book really proves us from start to finish that they are typical, not thinking teenagers and well it didn’t help me to like them but instead helped me to hate them more and more with each chapter of this book. 

The plot here was okay for the most part, but I was very very far of being a fan of it. It had some good moments here and there but for the most part it was very boring and uninteresting and I just could not keep my focus during reading this book because I wanted more to look at the paint dry than reading this book. 

The writing style here was okay, but far from the best I’ve seen, I’ve read one book by this author before so I know that he can do better than what he did in this book. But I hated this book so much that I dont think I won’t be reading any more books from this author 

I Give This Book 2 / 5

Book Four of the After series—now newly revised and expanded, Anna Todd’s After fanfiction racked up 1 billion reads online and captivated readers across the globe. Experience the Internet’s most talked-about book for yourself! #HESSA

I cant believe that this book is the last book in the “After” series, but I gotta say that this series was a roller coaster of a ride.

However I need to be honest and admit that this book had a very different feeling to it then the previous 3 books in this series. It just didn’t feel like it was written by the same author. The characters and plot was still good but it just didn’t have the same felling to it. But the drama between Hardin and Tessa isn’t the same as it was in the 3 previous books. 

Hardin and Tessa are still the most characters to be ever created, and I just cant believe that my journey with them are over. Because I love them so much. 

Both Tessa and Hardin have so much personality to them and emotions that they feel like real human beings rather than fictional characters. I personally would have no problems being friends with both Tessa and Hardin. 

Throughout this entire book I was seating at the edge of my seat because I knew that this book is the big finally and I were dying to know if Tessa and Hardin are the end game or not. And I cant give you an answer to you because I not gonna spoil anything for you. 

The writing style here felt different from the rest of this series, just as it was written by a different person. Which I’ve touched upon it before in this review. And this is the main reason why I choice to give this book 4 stars instead of 5 star even thou I wanted to give it the full score. 

The ending here is amazing, and there was a point near the end where this book got me crying like a baby because of the things which were happening. I really wanted to scream at the author. But after finishing the book I realized that this moment was important because if we didn’t get it, the whole ending would have been very different and it wouldn’t be so satisfying as it was. 

I Give This Book 4 / 5

As the story opens, sixteen-year-old Jacob discovers a powerful new ability, and soon he’s diving through history to rescue his peculiar companions from a heavily guarded fortress. Accompanying Jacob on his journey are Emma Bloom, a girl with fire at her fingertips, and Addison MacHenry, a dog with a nose for sniffing out lost children.

This book is the third book in the “Miss Peregrine’s Peculiar Children” series and I need to say that this book is my favorite book in this series so far at least. At the same time this book is the longest book in this series so far.

The plot here is just wow, I didn’t expect the plot to be better than in the second and first book but the author proves me wrong and writes an much better plot in this book than what we got in the first and second books in this series.

There is a a lot of action in this book, and wow I cant wrap my head around how many things happened in this book. There is a lot of things going down in this book, and there are a lot of plot twists in this book. 

There is a lot of action in this book from the very first page of this book to the very last page of this book. And I completely loved this fact, because throughout this entire book you will sit at the edge of your sit and wonder what will happen next.

The characters in this book are so much better than they were in the first book, and I just cant help it but fall in love with them with each book in this series. Because the character development is huge in this book as the whole series in general. 

Jacob becomes a perfect main character, because he starts of not knowing anything about the peculiar children thing and now in this book he just like wow, I cant say much about how it turns out in this book because I will spoil a lot of things from this book for people who haven’t read this book yet.

The writing in this book is just as amazing as in the previous books in this series. And this means that the writing style feels like the author knows exactly what words to use to completely grab my attention and suck me into the story and not let me go until the very end. 

The ending in this book is very big and there is a lot of things happening at the end which really blow my mind. At the same time the ending we get in this book is very satisfying. And I cant believe still how incredible the ending was. 

I Give This Book 5 / 5

September 3, 1940. Ten peculiar children flee an army of deadly monsters. And only one person can help them – but she’s trapped in the body of a bird. The extraordinary journey that began in “Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children” continues as Jacob Portman and his newfound friends journey to London, the peculiar capital of the world. There, they hope to find a cure for their beloved headmistress, Miss Peregrine.

This book is the second book in the “Miss Peregrine’s Peculiar Children” series, and so far being two books deep into this series and I cant help it but be absolutely in love with this series. Because so far, this series is getting better and better. 

The plot in this book is just wow, there is so much happening in this book and with every page you read you get more and more sucked into this book. The plot is very unique and very very interesting and engaging. 

The characters here are amazing, I love so much. There is a huge character development here, which I personally love a lot. And a lot of characters here have their unique personality and something which makes you care about them and identify with them.

The fact that Jacob is new to this entire peculiar children thing, makes it so much better for us as readers because we learn new things along side Jacob and we get to see everything happen through his perspective which I personally love a lot.

The writing style here is amazing because its like the author knows what words to use to suck you into it, and to not let it go until the very end and beyond that. 

This book continues to expand the universe in this series, and we get much more action outside the loop we began this series with.

The ending here is very good, because it doesn’t live you at a cliffhanger but at the same time it does. The ending is very good and what I wanted from this book. And the ending leaves you with a urge to continue this series as fast as possible so of course when I finished this book I picked book 3 right away.
