Synopsis: Bryce Quinlan had the perfect life working hard all day and partying all night until a demon murdered her closest friends, leaving her bereft, wounded, and alone. When the accused is behind bars but the crimes start up again, Bryce finds herself at the heart of the investigation. She’ll do whatever it takes to avenge their deaths. Hunt Athalar is a notorious Fallen angel, now enslaved to the Archangels he once attempted to overthrow. His brutal skills and incredible strength have been set to one purpose to assassinate his boss’s enemies, no questions asked. But with a demon wreaking havoc in the city, he’s offered an irresistible deal: help Bryce find the murderer, and his freedom will be within reach. As Bryce and Hunt dig deep into Crescent City’s underbelly, they discover a dark power that threatens everything and everyone they hold dear, and they find, in each other, a blazing passion, one that could set them both free, if they’d only let it. With unforgettable characters, sizzling romance, and page-turning suspense, this richly inventive new fantasy series by #1 New York Times bestselling author Sarah J. Maas delves into the heartache of loss, the price of freedom and the power of love.


Review One (5/1-5/15/20): It took a day to get my emotions back to normal and off the rollercoaster they were on with this book. It was a little slow in the start in the book with the world building but soon it picked up and it was nonstop. I loved the back and fourth with between Bryce and Hunt well with Bryce and the other characters too.  I do have to say Ruhn is one of my favorite characters in this book along with Declan, Tristan and Isaiah. I really hope the next book will have just the same emotional rollercoaster this one had me on.


Review Two (1/11-1/19/21): My first review is still how I feel

When a reaper comes to collect Wallace Price from his own funeral, Wallace suspects he really might be dead. Instead of leading him directly to the afterlife, the reaper takes him to a small village. On the outskirts, off the path through the woods, tucked between mountains, is a particular tea shop, run by a man named Hugo. Hugo is the tea shop's owner to locals and the ferryman to souls who need to cross over. But Wallace isn't ready to abandon the life he barely lived. With Hugo's help he finally starts to learn about all the things he missed in life. When the Manager, a curious and powerful being, arrives at the tea shop and gives Wallace one week to cross over, Wallace sets about living a lifetime in seven days. By turns heartwarming and heartbreaking, this absorbing tale of grief and hope is told with TJ Klune's signature warmth, humor, and extraordinary empathy. Review: I don't know how to put into words how much I loved this book and I read it at the perfec...

  I absolutely loved this book and I adore Lynn Cahoon. Her writing style kept me engaged with the story and the characters were easy to love. Mia and her grandmother had me in love from the start and they have me wanting to continues with this series. I can't wait until the full length books is out to get my hands on it.

Mayhem by Estelle Laure

  It was the tagline that made me want to pick up the book A YA feminist mash up inspired by The Lost Boys and The Craft. How could I resist a book that is a mash up two of my favorite movies? I couldn't really see The Craft in the book but I did love all the references to TLB. I had a huge grin on my face when the Frog brothers showed up in the story. I think there was enough of the references that they didn't take away from the story. They helped add something familiar to the story. The lore around the Brayburns was really well written and very believable. As a character Mayhem Brayburn worked really well and I loved her growth. I enjoyed the darker theme in this book with the murders and magic. I would say there are a few trigger warnings for this book rape, drug abuse, abuse and murder. I have already have recommended this to few of my friends even before I was done reading it. This has to be in my top 5 books I have read so far in 2020 if not my top read this year. Disclos...
