The Eternity Cure (Blood of Eden #2) by Julie Kagawa

Allison Sekemoto has vowed to rescue her creator, Kanin, who is being held hostage and tortured by the psychotic vampire Sarren. The call of blood leads her back to the beginning—New Covington and the Fringe, and a vampire prince who wants her dead yet may become her wary ally.

Even as Allie faces shocking revelations and heartbreak like she’s never known, a new strain of the Red Lung virus that decimated humanity is rising to threaten human and vampire alike.

I was so happy and excited when i received an ARC of it, and let me tell you, this book exceeded all my expectations. It was so DAMN GOOD! Last we saw, Allison had left Eden looking for her sire Kanin and she is still searching for him. She continues to have dreams about him being tortured and getting more and more desperate to find him before he goes mad.

The biggest surprise for me in this book was Jackal. Being Allison's blood brother, he joins her in her search to look for Kanin and they spend the entire book together. I hated him after what he did in the last book and yet i couldn't stop myself from liking him in this. He is just so funny! He made me crack up every time he opened his mouth. He is still totally crazy and has no qualms about killing humans but he just made everything so much more entertaining. I still don't know how trustworthy he is but i do like him.

Zeke shows up a lot sooner than i expected him to which was good and has stronger better since the last time we saw him. The romance gets better and they both try to make their relationship work even though Allison's a vampire. I like Zeke and everything but sadly i just don't find myself swooning over him.

Kanin is still my favourite part of the series and i do wish he had shown up sooner but still i was glad that he got a lot more time in this than he did in the last one. I felt really sorry for him in this because of how he is tortured and just love him to pieces. We also learn more about his past which i found really interesting.

Sarren return in this and i think might be one of the most terrible villains i have read about. He is completely brutal with no humanity at all! I detest him with passion and hope he really suffers for everything he did. Every time, he showed up, i would chant DIE DIE DIE!

Stick is another character that we see return; i found him annoying before but i just wanted to break his face in this. He is truly a coward and pathetic and a loser and i couldn't believe the things he did in this to make himself feel brave.

I wanted to know more about Eden in this but sadly we don't find out much about that in this and neither does any of the book take place there. However, i am sure we will discover more about that in the next one.

There is a MASSIVE cliffhanger so brace yourselves. Something really terrible happens and i am anxious to see how things are going to unfold after that. Overall, i don't really have anything negative to say - it was an AMAZING book and everyone will definitely love it.

Unravel Me (Shatter Me, #2) by Tahereh Mafi

tick

tick

it's almost

time for war.

Juliette has escaped to Omega Point. It is a place for people like her—people with gifts—and it is also the headquarters of the rebel resistance.

She's finally free from The Reestablishment, free from their plan to use her as a weapon, and free to love Adam. But Juliette will never be free from her lethal touch.

Or from Warner, who wants Juliette more than she ever thought possible.

In this exhilarating sequel to Shatter Me, Juliette has to make life-changing decisions between what she wants and what she thinks is right. Decisions that might involve choosing between her heart—and Adam's life.

I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED this book! Incredibly enjoyable with never a dull moment. It has so much action, so much drama, so many twists that i dont even know what to talk about first!

The love triangle is a big part of this book, love it or hate it. At first, i was just weirded out when i found out that Warner was a love interest after all the despicable things he did in the first book, but after reading it, i see that it really does work. We get to see a sweeter side of Warner when he's around Juliette, get to see inside his head, learn about his past and why he turned out the way he is. I felt really sorry for him and really feel that he deserves a break. No one - not even Warner himself - believes that he can change except Juliette and i was so glad that someone was willing to give him a chance.

He says things that will make you swoon and made me melt. And chapter 62 was EFFIN HOT! I have officially changed to Team Warner. I really liked Adam before but he was just annoying in this. He spends the entire book sulking and brooding and i just found the whole Juliette and Adam thing to sappy.

Now for my favourite part in the book - KENJI!!! He is made of awesomeness. He is sexy and funny! And he is also the one who always knocks sense into Juliette. I love how he is totally honest with her, and gives her good advice without sugar coating anything. He is just too AMAZING for words and i live for his scenes.

Juliette goes through ups and downs in this. She is always feeling insecure because of her power and spends a lot of time sulking. In those moments, i wanted to tell her to get over it! Get over Adam! Get over your doubts! And finally she does. She is badass! She kicks some awesome butt and i was totally cheering for her.

You get to meet Warner's father who is a total bastard. I just wanted to shove something up his ass the whole time and i sympathize with Warner for having him as a father. We also get to find out why Adam and Warner can touch Juliette which was very interesting.

This book has made this one of my favourite series and i am dying for the sequel. Its full of twists and turns that you will definitely not see coming. The ending was good and is left on a cliffhanger and i am eager for the sequel. Once again - an AMAZING book!

Scarlet (Lunar Chronicles #2) by Marissa Meyer

Cinder returns in the second thrilling installment of the New York Times-bestselling Lunar Chronicles. She’s trying to break out of prison—even though if she succeeds, she’ll be the Commonwealth’s most wanted fugitive.

Halfway around the world, Scarlet Benoit’s grandmother is missing. It turns out there are many things Scarlet doesn’t know about her grandmother and the grave danger she has lived in her whole life. When Scarlet encounters Wolf, a street fighter who may have information as to her grandmother’s whereabouts, she has no choice but to trust him, though he clearly has a few dark secrets of his own.

As Scarlet and Wolf work to unravel one mystery, they find another when they cross paths with Cinder. Together, they must stay one step ahead of the vicious Lunar Queen who will do anything to make Prince Kai her husband, her king, her prisoner.

Woah! such an amazing sequel! and it definitely exceeded my expectations. I was expecting to not enjoy it that much as it revolves around Scarlet but Cinder was still very much in the spotlight which was great.

Scarlet is our new protagonist and she is feisty, sassy and kickass. I loved her attitude and how she was willing to do so much by herself for her grandmother. I immediately liked her and got immersed into her story.

Her grandmother has been abducted and she spends the book trying to find her. On the way, she encounters Wolfe who is a street fighter. I found him ok; he was alright, towards the end.

Meanwhile, Cinder has escaped the prison and is now a fugitive on the run. She meets a guy called Captain Throne. OMG! HE WAS SOOO AWESOME! He became my favourite character the minute he opened his mouth. He was so funny and cute and awesome and i just loved every single scene he was in. He and Cinder were really funny and adorable together and made the book incredibly enjoyable for me.

Kai and Cinder were a big part of why i loved the first book. Sadly, they didnt have any interaction in this book which i really wanted to see. We get to see Kai though, still struggling with maintaining peace with the Lunars and i felt really sorry for him and also wished he was in it more.

The plot was very good, with lots of stuff going on. We get to also find out more about Cinder's past, when she was brought to Earth. There is a bit of a cliffhanger which is gonna make the wait for next year much worse. Overall, i LOVED this installment and everything about it and look forward to the sequel.(

Prodigy (Legend, #2) by Marie Lu

June and Day arrive in Vegas just as the unthinkable happens: the Elector Primo dies, and his son Anden takes his place. With the Republic edging closer to chaos, the two join a group of Patriot rebels eager to help Day rescue his brother and offer passage to the Colonies. They have only one request—June and Day must assassinate the new Elector.

It’s their chance to change the nation, to give voice to a people silenced for too long.

But as June realizes this Elector is nothing like his father, she’s haunted by the choice ahead. What if Anden is a new beginning? What if revolution must be more than loss and vengeance, anger and blood—what if the Patriots are wrong?

In this highly-anticipated sequel, Lu delivers a breathtaking thriller with high stakes and cinematic action.

I totally fell in love with Day and June when i read Legend, so i was really looking forward to reading the sequel. Things are completely different in this. June has left the Republic and is on the run too with Day and they are both struggling to survive without any help. Soon, they encounter the Patriots who are willing to help them, but in return for something big!

I really liked June and Day in the last book, and now they are finally together as i had hoped, but its not smooth sailing for them. They do face a lot of difficulties because of their completely different backgrounds, and insecurities. I just wanted them to work it out and be happy again and was annoyed when they had doubts about each other.

June was really smart and kick-ass and independent and i love how intelligent she is and quickly figures things out, continuing to make shrewd decisions. Day was great and i just find him really adorable for some reason, and felt sorry for him at the end when something BIG is revealed about him.

Tess becomes a more prominent character in this, and i found her kinda annoying and clingy. Probably, cuz she was trying to get between Day and June. Anden also becomes a major part of the story and i really did like him. There are tonnes of other characters who are all kinda suspicious and you just never know when to trust someone.

The cliffhanger was big! i am really anxious after reading that ending and just hope everything works out right in the end. You guys will love this installment as its packed with awesomeness.

Everbound (Everneath, #2) by Brodi Ashton

Nikki Beckett could only watch as her boyfriend, Jack, sacrificed himself to save her, taking her place in the Tunnels of the Everneath for eternity — a debt that should’ve been hers. She’s living a borrowed life, and she doesn’t know what to do with the guilt. And every night Jack appears in her dreams, lost and confused and wasting away.

Desperate for answers, Nikki turns to Cole, the immortal bad boy who wants to make her his queen — and the one person least likely to help. But his heart has been touched by everything about Nikki, and he agrees to assist her in the only way he can: by taking her to the Everneath himself.

Nikki and Cole descend into the Everneath, only to discover that their journey will be more difficult than they’d anticipated — and more deadly. But Nikki vows to stop at nothing to save Jack — even if it means making an incredible sacrifice of her own.

In this enthralling sequel to Everneath, Brodi Ashton tests the bonds of destiny and explores the lengths we’ll go to for the ones we love

This was a really good sequel, that i really enjoyed. Its all about Nikki trying to find Jack who was taken by the tunnels in the last one when he sacrificed himself for her. Nikki is desperate for a way and needs Cole's help in order to reach Jack.

Most of the book takes place in the Everneath, and i found learning about it and seeing their world in more detail really cool. It was quite different to how i expected and i hope we get to delve more into it and their mythology in the next one.

Jack is absent for most of the book, but it doesn't feel that way, as there are lots of flashbacks, and various memories of Jack and Nikki that we get to read about. Its also good as we get to see the start of their romance and their first kiss and stuff that i always love reading about.

I liked Cole in this book; we get to see a different - sweeter and caring side of him. I even felt a little sorry for him at some points but he really annoyed me at the end. I wish he hadnt done what he did as thats just gonna make Nikki hate him. Despite all this, i still prefer him to Jack as i just find him more interesting and hope he gets a proper shot with her.

The cliffhanger is MASSIVE! It ends with a GIGANTIC twist that i didnt see coming a mile away. I m sure it will make things really interesting in the sequel and i cant wait to read it.

Apollyon (Covenant, #4) by Jennifer L. Armentrout

 Fate isn’t something to mess with… and now, neither is Alex.

Alex has always feared two things: losing herself in the Awakening and being placed on the Elixir. But love has always been stronger than Fate, and Aiden St. Delphi is willing to make war on the gods—and Alex herself—to bring her back.

The gods have killed thousands and could destroy entire cities in their quest to stop Seth from taking Alex’s power and becoming the all-powerful God Killer. But breaking Alex’s connection to Seth isn’t the only problem. There are a few pesky little loopholes in the whole “an Apollyon can’t be killed” theory, and the only person who might know how to stop the destruction has been dead for centuries.

Finding their way past the barriers that guard the Underworld, searching for one soul among countless millions, and then somehow returning will be hard enough. Alex might be able to keep Seth from becoming the God Killer… or she might become the God Killer herself.

Another incredible book in the Covenant series that I immensely enjoyed. The story keeps getting more and more interesting and has ended on a note that will no doubt make for an amazing conclusion.

Alex is still under Seth’s influence at the start, and I was kinda worried it would stay that way for a while, but thankfully, she goes back to her normal self pretty soon. However, the parts before made me quite sick when she referred to Seth as “my Seth” which just made me wanna barf. Apart from that, Alex is great in this book; she’s still snarky as ever but maturing quite quickly and not making dumb mistakes anymore that she used to.

Aiden is cute as ever. Their romance gets even steamier and i didn’t think that was possible after the last book. They are just such an adorable couple and i loved reading their moments together. I loved how protective and supportive Aiden was of her and didn’t give up on her the entire time.

Seth isn’t that much in this book, mostly he just has random conversations with Alex through their bond. He annoyed me soo much and we find out even more stuff he did that made me wanna rip off his head. I understood why Alex was still hoping for him to turn good, but it still pissed me off. He is way past the point of return and i don’t have much hope for him.

Apollo is still one of my favourite characters and i just love reading about him and seeing his different sides. The other main characters also return and are there for pretty much the whole book.

We get to see the underworld in this book, which was probably my favourite part and made me really excited. We also get to meet a lot of dead characters and also some new gods. The big question about Seth’s bloodline is answered and its revealed who is behind Seth and Lucian’s plan. This was a big shocker for me and will take you by surprise too.

There is tonnes of action in this that i thoroughly enjoyed and the cliff-hanger has me anxious for the next book. After reading apollyon, I know that the conclusion is going to be epic and I will be counting down days till I get the chance to read it. This is one of my all time favourite series and i know everyone's gonna love it

Boundless (Unearthly, #3) by Cynthia Hand

The past few years have held more surprises than part-angel Clara Gardner could ever have anticipated. Yet from the dizzying highs of first love, to the agonizing low of losing someone close to her, the one thing she can no longer deny is that she was never meant to live a normal life.

Since discovering the special role she plays among the other angel-bloods, Clara has been determined to protect Tucker Avery from the evil that follows her . . . even if it means breaking both their hearts. Leaving town seems like the best option, so she’s headed back to California - and so is Christian Prescott, the irresistible boy from the vision that started her on this journey in the first place.

As Clara makes her way in a world that is frighteningly new, she discovers that the fallen angel who attacked her is watching her every move. And he’s not the only one. . . . With the battle against the Black Wings looming, Clara knows she must finally fulfil her destiny. But it won’t come without sacrifices and betrayal.

In the riveting finale of the Unearthly series, Clara must decide her fate once and for all.

That was an epic conclusion to an epic series - one that i will miss forever. It was great with a perfect balance of romance, action, humor and tears.

Clara is in Stanford, along with Angela and Christian trying to get used to her new life without Tucker, Jeffrey and her mum. She is also having another vision, that includes her and Christian and indicates something bad that's about to happen. This all leads to lots of stuff that i wont give away.

I was annoyed with Clara at the end of Hallowed for leaving Tucker and i still was but i did kind of understand why she was giving Christian a chance even if i didnt like it. I just wanted to shout at her the whole time to go back to Tucker! He still loves her. She still loves him and i just kept waiting for the moment where they both admitted it. Tucker and Clara are just sooooo adorable together and even though it takes them a while to make up, it was really cute when they finally did.

Despite being 100% TEAM TUCKER, i do like Christian and honestly felt a bit sorry for him. Its not really his fault that he loves Clara and i wished he would find someone else to be happy with.

Angela has quite a big part in the plot and i liked her ok. We get to see a bit of Wendy as well. I knew Phen would come back in this and he does. I still dont really know what to make of him and he's just totally shady. Jeffrey shows a lot sooner than i expected which wad good. Samjeeza and Michael are in it as well who i really like.

The plot was great, with lots of twists that made me go "WOAH!" and you wont see it coming either. Towards the ending, there was a scene that made me cry but thankfully the ending was good and i was really happy with it. I m totally SAD! I m gonna miss reading about Tucker and Clara so much and this has been one of my fav series!

The Indigo Spell (Bloodlines, #3) by Richelle Mead

In the aftermath of a forbidden moment that rocked Sydney to her core, she finds herself struggling to draw the line between her Alchemist teachings and what her heart is urging her to do. Then she meets alluring, rebellious Marcus Finch--a former Alchemist who escaped against all odds, and is now on the run. Marcus wants to teach Sydney the secrets he claims the Alchemists are hiding from her. But as he pushes her to rebel against the people who raised her, Sydney finds that breaking free is harder than she thought. There is an old and mysterious magic rooted deeply within her. And as she searches for an evil magic user targeting powerful young witches, she realizes that her only hope is to embrace her magical blood--or else she might be next.


Populated with new faces as well as familiar ones, the Bloodlines series explores all the friendship, romance, battles, and betrayals that made the #1 New York Times bestselling Vampire Academy series so addictive—this time in a part-vampire, part-human setting where the stakes are even higher and everyone’s out for blood.

I was absolutely ecstatic when i got a chance to read this! I had been dying to read it so i did a little happy dance when i got it! :D This book was utter perfection and had everything i wanted. The romance, the action, he suspense is all kicked up a notch. And Sydrian will make you swoon your pants off! The wedding was awesome and we do get a sydrian dance!!! We also get to see rose and Dimitri and the rest of the gang.

The story starts off with Sydney looking for Marcus Finch, the mysterious ex-alchemist who has been on the run from them. He shows up quite quickly in the book and i was really excited about learning about his character. There is also Veronica, Ms Terwilliger's evil sister who is using magic to take young witches' powers to keep herself young. With all this going on, Syndey has a lot on her plate.

I have always loved Sydney and she has been one of my favourite protagonists, and i continued to love her in this more and more. She shows so much development; the girl who used to think vampires were evil is completely gone and she has started to question the things she was taught and wondering if the alchemists are really sincere with her. If you didnt like her before, you are bound to now.

Adrian was as amazing and perfect as ever. I just wanna grab him and hug him and kiss him and never let go. He says the cutest things that always make me laugh out loud or melt into a puddle. I honestly dont know how Sydney manages to resist him for as long as she does. I would have fallen at his feet and worshiped him. He has changed in this too. He hardly gets drunk and is more responsible without losing the ivashkov charm.

The romance was definitely my favourite part in this book. It starts off with Sydney still in denial while Adrian is trying not to push her so she comes around on her own. The whole time i was impatiently waiting for the moment when sydney would realise that she is in love with him too and sometimes i wanted to kill her for keep pushing Adrian away! They have a lot of their usual banter and some flirty moments too. They do have LOTS of makeout sessions that got me all hot and bothered (though they dont have sex) and you will definitely not be disappointed.

Eddie, Jill and Angeline also return upto their usual shenanigans. They dont play massive parts in the plot but their presence makes the book more enjoyable, full of hilarious moments. Ian is also in it and there were lots of parts where i did wanna smack him but i was still happy to see him. Trey sadly wasnt in it that much and their friendship is a bit tainted by what happened before but i still love him and hope to see tonnes of him later.

Marcus is the main new character and i knew i would love him. He is charming and flirty and made the book more interesting. I was really excited about finding more about the indigo tattoo and the rebellion. There are more people who are part of it and they offer Sydney to join and break away from the alchemists. He was a great addition and i hope he is part of future books.

We also find out more about the alchemists and how evil they truly are and i am sure it will play a bigger part later. Sydney also gets better with magic and not just her own. She is now comfortable with vampire magic too. The plot was great with lots of twists and turns that you wont see coming. The cliffhanger wasnt what i expected at all and i am curious to see how that will change things in the next one.


This was truly an AMAZING book and everyone needs to read it!

here are some teasers:

He rested a hand on my hip, and my whole body tensed up. The hand moved around my hip slipping under my shirt to rest on the small of my back. My skin burned where he touched me, and the places that were untouched longed for that heat.
"See?" He said. He was in the throes of spirit now though with me at the same time. "Well i guess you cant. When I touch you, your aura…it smolders. The colors deepen, it burns more intensely, the purple increases. Why? Why, Sydney?" He used that hand on me to pull me closer. "Why do you react that way if I don’t mean anything to you?" There was a desperation in his voice.




"Speaking of that dress", he added, "I still haven’t seen you in it"

I laughed softly, "You cant handle it"

He raised an eyebrow at that. "Is that a challenge sage? I can handle a lot"

"Not if our history is any indication. Each time i wear some moderately attractive dress u lose it"

"Thats not exactly true" He said, "I lose it no matter what your wearing. And that red dress was not moderately attractive. It was like a piece of heaven here on earth. A red silky piece of heaven."




"You heard me. You want to join our group? You want to break your tattoo?" He looked annoyingly smug. "Then this its all part of the process"

"I never said i wanted to do any of those things." I hissed "I just wanted to find out more about them."

He caught hold of my hand. "Sydney i know this is a lot to take in. I don’t blame you for doubting and that's exactly why we need you. You're smart, you're observant, you question and just like me those questions are going to get you in trouble - if they haven’t already. Get out now while you can – on your own terms"

The Essence (The Pledge, #2) by Kimberly Derting

“Danger, dread, mystery, and romance” (Booklist) continue in the second book of The Pledge trilogy, as Charlie’s reign is under siege from the most unusual of enemies.

At the luminous conclusion of The Pledge, Charlaina defeated the tyrant Sabara and took her place as Queen of Ludania. But Charlie knows that Sabara has not disappeared: The evil queen’s Essence is fused to Charlie’s psyche, ready to arise at the first sign of weakness.

Charlie is not weak, but she’s being pushed to the brink. In addition to suppressing the ever-present influence of Sabara, she’s busy being queen—and battling a growing resistance determined to return Ludania to its discriminatory caste system. Charlie wants to be the same girl Max loves, who Brook trusts, but she’s Your Majesty now, and she feels torn in two.

As Charlie journeys to an annual summit to meet with leaders of nearby Queendoms—an event where her ability to understand all languages will be the utmost asset—she is faced with the ultimate betrayal. And the only person she can turn to for help is the evil soul residing within.

The sequel was okay. It didnt pull me in right away and i was a bit confused about what was going on for the first part as i had forgotten the events of the last book, so it took me a while to get into it.

Charlie is now queen but has the spirit of the old queen imprisoned in her body. The is quite a hard situation for her and i felt sorry for her. She seemed more or less the same to me in this book as the last one with no particular character development.

Max unfortunately who i did really like before was hardly in this book and i felt his absence throughout the entire book. This also meant that the romance was non-existent which is another thing that annoyed me.

The plot was good, mostly revolving around Charlie coping with becoming queen and the enemies out to get her. There is more action is this one than the last one which you'll enjoy.

There is a new character called Niko who i had mixed feelings about. He may or may not be a love interest in the next book and i really hope he isnt. Zafir, Aron, Brook are all back and all have massive roles in the book.

There is sort of a cliffhanger but nothing too massive. Overall, it was a good book but not as interesting as i wanted it to be.

Hopeless by Colleen Hoover

 Sometimes discovering the truth can leave you more hopeless than believing the lies…

That’s what seventeen-year-old Sky realizes after she meets Dean Holder. A guy with a reputation that rivals her own and an uncanny ability to invoke feelings in her she’s never had before. He terrifies her and captivates her all in the span of just one encounter, and something about the way he makes her feel sparks buried memories from a past that she wishes could just stay buried.

Sky struggles to keep him at a distance knowing he’s nothing but trouble, but Holder insists on learning everything about her. After finally caving to his unwavering pursuit, Sky soon finds that Holder isn’t at all who he’s been claiming to be. When the secrets he’s been keeping are finally revealed, every single facet of Sky’s life will change forever.

Sky has always been home-schooled but now she is finally starting public school. There she meets Holder who has a reputation worse than hers as well as temper issues. She has never really felt anything real for any guy before but that changes when she meets Holder.

Sky was a cool character and likable. She was adopted when she was little and doesnt really know much about her past. Holder feels like he knows her from before even though she has no recollection of ever meeting him. This intrigued me and i really wanted to know the reason behind it.

Holder was totally amazing and i loved the relationship between them. I thought it was a bit quick but didn't feel forced or anything. Holder has his own secrets and past that come to light and give us more insight into his personality.

The plot was good, though a bit slow paced at times. It gets really interesting towards the end and i was completely hooked. Overall, it was a good, enjoyable book and i would recommend it to romance lovers

The Indigo Spell Book Teaser Trailer 2 - A Love that Gives You Courage

Reached (Matched, #3) by Ally Condie

 After leaving Society and desperately searching for the Rising—and each other—Cassia and Ky have found what they were looking for, but at the cost of losing each other yet again: Cassia has been assigned to work for the Rising from within Society, while Ky has been stationed outside its borders. But nothing is as predicted, and all too soon the veil lifts and things shift once again.

In this gripping conclusion to the #1 New York Times-bestselling Matched trilogy, Cassia will reconcile the difficulties of challenging a life too confining, seeking a freedom she never dreamed possible, and honoring a love she cannot live without

The conclusion to the matched series is finally here and it has a satisfying end. We've seen the rising and the society at war and the rebellion beginning and now it has reached its climax. Their world is pretty much in chaos. The rising has started invading their society and people have started picking sides. If that's not enough, there is also a fatal plague emerging that could potentially wipe them all out.

Cassia, Ky, Xander and Indie are all working for the rising now. I have liked Cassia before and she's still the same. I liked that she took a lot of action in this and did what she believed was right. Xander who is my favourite character in the series is a lot in this unlike the last one. We also get to see his POV which was good and gave us insight into his head.

Ky and Caasia are still in love and its pretty obvious that they're gonna end up together from the start so i was glad that the love triangle wasnt dragged too much. Even though i like Xander more, i think Ky and Cassia are better for each other and glad they were together at the end.

Indie is a lot in it too. I always found her ok - never liked her too much. She just kinda annoys me for some reason and continued to in this. I always noticed something between Indie and KY and wasnt sure if it was just my imagination but its confirmed in this. I m glad that Ky didnt really cheat on Cassia or anything but Indie was just getting on my nerves. First, she was in love with Xander and then she's after Ky.

The plot was good and a lot of stuff goes down. Most of it revolves around the plague. There are some new characters and some old ones come back like Eli and Hunter. I wont tell you how everything ends and if the rising manages to defeat the Society but i will tell you that its a great conclusion where everything is resolved, all the loose strings from previous books are tied and it will satisfy the fans

The Indigo Spell Book Teaser Trailer 1 - A Love that Terrifies You

The Diviners (The Diviners #1) by Libba Bray

It's 1920s New York City. It's flappers and Follies, jazz and gin. It's after the war but before the depression. And for certain group of bright young things it's the opportunity to party like never before.

For Evie O'Neill, it's escape. She's never fit in in small town Ohio and when she causes yet another scandal, she's shipped off to stay with an uncle in the big city. But far from being exile, this is exactly what she's always wanted: the chance to show how thoroughly modern and incredibly daring she can be.

But New York City isn't about just jazz babies and follies girls. It has a darker side. Young women are being murdered across the city. And these aren't crimes of passion. They're gruesome. They're planned. They bear a strange resemblance to an obscure group of tarot cards. And the New York City police can't solve them alone.

Evie wasn't just escaping the stifling life of Ohio, she was running from the knowledge of what she could do. She has a secret. A mysterious power that could help catch the killer - if he doesn't catch her first.

Evie is a loud, wild and crazy flapper. She is exiled to New york after she takes things too far one evening. She also happens to be a diviner - people with special powers - and can read objects and their owner's secrets just by holding them. I liked her alright but not too much. She was really spunky and quite funny but a bit too obnoxious at times. She was also a famewhore and made a joke out of murders that really got on my nerves. On the other hand, she becomes more likable as the book progresses. ~What i did really like about her was that she was very independent and confident and kickass and overall made a good heroine.

Other main characters include Will who is her uncle and own a museum of creepy crawlies. He was quite interesting and i wanna know more about it. There is Jerciho who is very serious and mysterious and works with her uncle. Sam is a guy Evie encounters there who pick pockets her but then later become friends with her. He sort of likes her too but that isnt developed enough in this book. The romance is very slow and a very small part of this but i m sure will be more in the sequels.

The killer is Naughty John. He was extremely creepy, especially with that creepy song he sang. All of his murders are written about and were extremely scary and gory. He is trying to complete a ritual to raise a beast that i wont tell you too much about but i found really interesting.

The plot was good and well paced with a really great climax. There were also other things that were brought up that i really wanna know about in the sequel. Overall, i think this is the start of a great series and i would highly recommend it.

The indigo spell teasers: SEDUCTION TIPS WITH IVASHKOV SCENE !!!

Adrian looked over at me again. “Who knows more about male weakness: you or me?”

“Go on.” I refused to directly answer the question.

“Get a new dress. One that shows a lot of skin. Short. Strapless. Maybe a push-up bra too.” He actually had the audacity to do a quick assessment of my chest. “Eh, maybe not. But definitely some high heels.”

“Adrian,” I exclaimed. “You’ve seen how Alchemists dress. Do you think I can really wear something like?”

He was unconcerned. “You’ll make it work. You’ll change clothes or something. But I’m telling you, if you want to get a guy to do something that might be difficult, then the best way is to distract him so that he can’t devote his full brainpower to the consequences.”

“You don’t have a lot of faith in your own gender.”

“Hey, I’m telling you the truth. I’ve been distracted by sexy dresses a lot.”

I didn’t really know if that was a valid argument, seeing as Adrian was distracted by a lot of things. Fondue. T-shirts. Kittens. “And so, what then? I show some skin, and the world is mine?”

“That’ll help.” Amazingly, I could tell he was dead serious. “And you’ve gotta act confident the whole time, like it’s already a done deal. Then make sure when you’re actually asking for what you want that you tell him you’d be ‘so, so grateful.’ But don’t elaborate. His imagination will do half the work for you. ”

I shook my head, glad we’d almost reached our destination. I didn’t know how much more I could listen to. “This is the most ridiculous advice I’ve ever heard. It’s also kind of sexist too, but I can’t decide who it offends more, men or women.”

“Look, Sage. I don’t know much about chemistry or computer hacking or photosynthery, but this is something I’ve got a lot of experience with.” I think he meant photosynthesis, but I didn’t correct him. “Use my knowledge. Don’t let it go to waste.”

Opal (Lux #3) by Jennifer L. Armentrout

No one is like Daemon Black.

When he set out to prove his feelings for me, he wasn’t fooling around. Doubting him isn’t something I’ll do again, and now that we’ve made it through the rough patches, well... There’s a lot of spontaneous combustion going on.

But even he can’t protect his family from the danger of trying to free those they love.

After everything, I’m no longer the same Katy. I’m different... And I’m not sure what that will mean in the end. When each step we take in discovering the truth puts us in the path of the secret organization responsible for torturing and testing hybrids, the more I realize there is no end to what I’m capable of. The death of someone close still lingers, help comes from the most unlikely source, and friends will become the deadliest of enemies, but we won’t turn back. Even if the outcome will shatter our worlds forever.

Together we’re stronger... and they know it

Another absolutely amazing book by Jennifer. I love everything about this series so i was ecstatic when i finally got the sequel. I had missed Daemon and Katy and getting to read about them again was like meeting old friends. Dawson is back, however he isnt really right in the head at the moment. He wants to get Beth back and that is where their next mission starts.

The plot was good as always. We learn more about the luxen mythology, including what opals are and what they can do which i always find interesting. This book keeps you guessing with its plot twists and one massive twist that had me completely shocked. Some new characters are thrown into the mix that u dont know whether to trust or not and some old ones are back who may or may not be on your side. Blake is back who is even more creepy in this and some of the things he did really revolted me.

KAty and Daemon are going strong - they are finally together and the heat keeps building up. I loved them in this as they arent constantly bickering or denying their feelings like in the previous ones and u get to see a slightly different side to their relationship. Their scenes always make me swoon or laugh out loud and are extremely entertaining. Katy annoys me sometimes when she gets insecure over Ash and her jealousy seemed stupid to me. Its so obvious Daemon loves her and not Ash. Daemon is comepletely awesome and i love his one liners. He is still HOT and protective and awesome and i just love him to bits.

Dee is in this a lot more than the last one which was good, however at the start, Katy and her are going throguh a rough patch after what went down with Adam in the last one. Other characters like Will and Simon have small parts too that finally answer your questions about their fate.

Their is a cliffhanger and its definitely pretty big and will leave you anxious for the next one. I immensely enjoyed reading this and i know everyone else will too.

The Edge of Never by J.A. Redmerski

Twenty-year-old Camryn Bennett had always been one to think out-of-the-box, who knew she wanted something more in life than following the same repetitive patterns and growing old with the same repetitive life story. And she thought that her life was going in the right direction until everything fell apart.

Determined not to dwell on the negative and push forward, Camryn is set to move in with her best friend and plans to start a new job. But after an unexpected night at the hottest club in downtown North Carolina, she makes the ultimate decision to leave the only life she’s ever known, far behind.

With a purse, a cell phone and a small bag with a few necessities, Camryn, with absolutely no direction or purpose boards a Greyhound bus alone and sets out to find herself. What she finds is a guy named Andrew Parrish, someone not so very different from her and who harbors his own dark secrets. But Camryn swore never to let down her walls again. And she vowed never to fall in love.

But with Andrew, Camryn finds herself doing a lot of things she never thought she’d do. He shows her what it’s really like to live out-of-the-box and to give in to her deepest, darkest desires. On their sporadic road-trip he becomes the center of her exciting and daring new life, pulling love and lust and emotion out of her in ways she never imagined possible. But will Andrew’s dark secret push them inseparably together, or tear them completely apart?

I love Andrew! he was sooo HOT! The romance in it was so steamy but nor rushed at all. It starts off slow and then turns into attraction and then lust and finally love and it was great seeing the characters go through that journey.

Andrew was amazing! i want a piece of him. He was funny and confident without being arrogant and so so sweet. Cam was also a great characater who was relatable and totally likable. I felt sorry for both of them and their back stories and that made their story even more interesting.

The plot was good eventhough i thought it got slightly slow near the end and i wanted something massive to happen but it didnt disappoint. Some parts made me sad, some made me swoon and some made me laugh. I thoroughly enjoyed it and recommend it to romance lovers. 

Renegade (The Elysium Chronicles, #1)

Since the age of three, sixteen-year-old Evelyn Winters has been trained to be Daughter of the People in the underwater utopia known as Elysium. Selected from hundreds of children for her ideal genes, all her life she’s thought that everything was perfect; her world. Her people. The Law.

But when Gavin Hunter, a Surface Dweller, accidentally stumbles into their secluded little world, she’s forced to come to a startling realization: everything she knows is a lie.

Her memories have been altered.

Her mind and body aren’t under her own control.

And the person she knows as Mother is a monster.

Together with Gavin she plans her escape, only to learn that her own mind is a ticking time bomb... and Mother has one last secret that will destroy them all.(

i thought the concept of this book was really good. i found their world fascinating which is set underwater and i wanted to experience it muself so i really loved that.

Evelyn was fine but i didnt feel particularly anything for her. She was kinda boring to be honest. Gavin was ok too - more likable than her for sure. Their romance felt kinda too soon for me and i liked them together bit didnt care that much about it. It didnt make me swoon or anything.

The plot mostly revolves around them trying to escape that world and go to the surface. It was good with some twists that kept you hooked. I absolutely hated the Mother. She was proper messed up in the head and i just wanted to kill her but i think she was a good villain.

Overall, i love dystopian books so liked this one as well. I think the sequel will be quite interesting, getting to see a different sid eof their universe.
