You’ll fall in love with them and be rooting for them the entire time. This was a fun, fast read and I definitely recommend it! Buy it for the stunning cover, read it for the exciting story.
Silence and Shadow (Blood and Moonlight #2) by Erin Beaty
This was a solid sequel! I really think this series deserves more hype! It’s an interesting blend of fantasy and mystery. It’s dark and nuanced and complex.
It didn’t full live up to it’s potential: A Multitude of Dreams by Mara Rutherford
I’m so sad to say that this one was a little disappointing to me. It is definitely my least favorite of this author’s books thus far. It’s unfortunate because it had so much conceptual potential that just wasn’t executed compellingly. Overall, this one is just okay for me.
A Study in Drowning by Ava Reid
This is a book to get lost in. I highly recommend this book to all fantasy readers, and even non-fantasy readers alike. It’s a definite five star from me and I’m already anticipating what Reid has in store for us next!
This book is fantasy perfection: Champion of Fate (Heromaker #1) by Kendare Blake
This book is fantasy perfection. The kind of story everyone hopes they write. Kendare Blake is proving to be a master of writing with this one. I cannot recommend it highly enough. You absolutely have to read this book!
A Thousand Boy Kisses by Tillie Cole
This book has officially earned a spot on the exclusive list of books that have made me cry! Wow, what an emotional story. I’m still not over it. If you’re looking for a kismet, heartwarming, gut wrenching romance, this is for you.
The Scarlet Veil (The Scarlet Veil #1) by Shelby Mahurin
I’ll probably be in the minority here yet again, so don’t take my words to heart if you loved this. But I won’t be continuing with this series. I think die-hard fans of S&D are going to love this new series, especially if you actually liked Celie. For me that series really lost its luster after the first book. I was truly hopeful but this just failed to get it back again for me.
Night of the Witch (Witch and Hunter #1) by Sara Raasch and Beth Revis
It was just an okay read for me. I liked it enough though to continue with the series. I am definitely willing to give it another go and see how things develop further. But as someone who has read a LOT of YA fantasy, this isn’t anything mind-blowingly memorable. I just needed a little more of that special something from it.
Face the Night by Lani Forbes
You’ll be easily immersed. This is seriously an epic adventure that will keep you turning the pages. I loved every minute of it!
Zhara (Guardians of the Dawn #1) by S. Jae-Jones
This was so terribly disappointing. The concepts are so freaking cool and the execution of them is severely lacking in follow through. It definitely needed to go through several more drafts before accomplishing its spectacular potential. I wanted so much to enjoy this and, sadly, I did not.
Bonesmith (House of the Dead #1) by Nicki Pau Preto
This is necromancy magic on another level. This whole story is grim and dark and I loved every minute of it. The magic system in this book was so freaking good.
A Spark in the Cinders by Jenny Elder Moke
I absolutely loved Curse of the Spector Queen! So when I saw Moke was writing something new, I just had to read it. But I’m sorry to say that this did not live up to my expectations in any way. I could not get into this.
