Review: Bloodleaf

Bloodleaf by Crystal Smith
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Can I just say how enthralled I am with this book?! I was in a recent hole where the first twenty or so pages in a book left me waterlogged. I couldn't find a book to help me; until I picked up Bloodleaf from the library. I started to read it and before I knew it I was almost half-way through!

Aurelia made me giddy with excitement because she was ready to fight and set things right at the very beginning! Aurelia is strong-willed, stubborn, and the best princess I have read about in a very long time! Zan and Nathaniel are amazing characters that I couldn't help but fall in love with. Kate reminded me of my own best friend and I loveee her so much.

Bloodleaf captivated me from the very beginning and I am excited to read the new book!

Review: Four Dead Queens

Four Dead Queens by Astrid Scholte
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

If there was ever a book that made me rethink everything I read, it's this one! I feel in love with the queens when we were able to see their point of views, and I fell for our "emotionless" hero as well. Four Dead Queens is a mystery romance book that had me on the edge of my seat the entire way! It only has four stars because it was a little on the repetitive side which had its reasons I know now. Astrid Scholte did an astounding job on how everything was pieced together. It has taken me a few hours to get my review in because I was still in shock on how it ended! Such a great book and one of my favorites of the year so far!

Review: The Coldest Girl in Coldtown

The Coldest Girl in Coldtown by Holly Black
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Death. Gore. Vampires. Love. Horror.

What do you do when you wake up in a bathtub after going to a huge party only to find all of your classmates dead-killed and mauled by vampires? Then finding your ex-boyfriend tied to a bed turning into a vampire with another vampire chained up next to him? You save the vampires and go to Coldtown; a city that was overrun with the undead and walled off from the rest of the world to keep them and everyone else safe from being turned. But once you enter Coldtown, you can never leave again. Will Tana, Aidan, and Gavriel be able to live in peace or will the secrets Gavriel is hiding keep them in danger and never be able to have a happily ever after?

I wasn't able to keep this book down! The twists and turns, the gore and horror, love and hate- It was amazingly perfect and one of my favorite reads of 2019!

Review: Rebel of the Sands

Rebel of the Sands by Alwyn Hamilton
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Rebel of the Sands is defiantly a book that will keep you on your toes! It follows a girl named Amani and how she is finally able to escape her life in Dustwalk with a foreigner named Jin. There are many surprises that will try and separate Jin and Amani but will their love only grow from it? I can't say much to keep from spoiling the book, but if you like guns, magic, love, and rebellion this is the story for you!

Review: Daughter of Dusk

Daughter of Dusk by Livia Blackburne
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Livia Blackburne knows how to play with my emotions and throw me for loops. We went and followed Kyra and Tristam as they tried and worked through many of the up and downs that life kept throwing them. I almost threw the book at one point when we were learning about Kyra's parents and I cried so much when Kyra was tried to fit herself into different... groups of people(I'm trying not to spoil the book).
The only reason I gave the book four stars instead of five is because I feel like the book wasn't summed up. Almost feels like there should be a third book. I would love a book about Kyra's parents; or even a book of Kyra's mother!
Such a fantastic book! Highly recommended.

Review: Clockwork Prince

Clockwork Prince by Cassandra Clare
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

If there is one thing Cassandra Clare does best, it's taking my emotions and throwing them out the window!
The second book in The Infernal Devices series continues to follow Jess, Will, and Tessa as they try and figure out what the Magisters plan is for the Shadowhunters and Tessa's powers. There are twists at every turn, spies who I had previously cared for, and love and heartache that took my heart and twisted it. I'm afraid to say anymore without spoiling the book! All I know is The Clockwork Princess is going to shred my heart into minuscule pieces and I can't wait.

Review: Onyx and Ivory

Onyx and Ivory by Mindee Arnett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Magic, suspense, romance, and dragons... I can get on board with this.

Onyx and Ivory follows a young woman named Kate and a prince named Corwin. The story tells of their past relationship and how sparks fly when they are near each other. But what happens when they find each other again but secrets plague any hope of a future between them? Can Kate and Corwin make it over the obstacles that keep them seperated or will they never be able to be together again? With Nightdrakes and Daydrakes plaguing Rime at all hours of the day, nobody is safe. Will Kate and Corwin save the country? Or will an unforeseen player thwart their attempts?

Onyx and Ivory was such an invigorating story, I couldn't set it down! I fell in love with so many characters and it had such a great backstory. All of my senses came alive in this book and I actually felt like I was part of the story. Recommended to everyone! Fantastic book!!

Review: Royally Bad

Royally Bad by Nora Flite
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

You mix royalty with gangs and things are bound to get spicy. Royally Bad follows Sammy and Kain during their fiery romance while trying not to get kidnapped and/or killed. To me, there was quite a bit not explained in this story but I'm hoping things become much clearer in the next book. Those scenes though... so much passion I was withering in my seat! I adored being able to read Kain's side of things as the story progressed. Being able to hear what the guy is going through as well is a constant plus to me. Amazing story. Really want to know more about this family!

Review: Charming the Prince

Charming the Prince by Teresa Medeiros
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I did not expect the book to go down that route! I adored the simplicity of the love and how Willow interacting with the children. Charming the Prince is marvelously written-all the children had their own unique personalities and I was able to distinguish who was doing what without even reading their names... and there were a lot! I loved the small details that Teresa Medeiros left out of most of the book that fit together perfectly by the end. Willow is the perfect step-mother, I can't imagine going into a marriage with already a dozen children! Such an amazing book!

Review: Shadow Reaper

Shadow Reaper by Amos Cassidy
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Can I just say that Shadow Reaper had me on the verge of my seat throughout the entire book? Amos Cassidy sure does know how to keep things interesting! On one hand, I am curious as to what happened with the treaty and why the shadows are communicating with Ash. On the other, I am really wanting Ash to get laid! I almost want Shadow Reaper to be a reverse harem novel for the reason of all the hotties! Avery is drop dead gorgeous, The mysterious Jiva(Who I want to see and hear more about) Cal with his sweet healing heart, and Daemon... I mean damn! I could not get enough of Daemon! Shadow Reaper had left me aching to know more about what is going on in the shadow world!!
