The Deathless Girls | Kiran Millwood Hargrave

Mehso-so

Very dark story about two of Dracula's wives, beautifully written but dramatic and Gothic tones and probably because of that, I did not really love it. Just not my cup of tea. I loved the f/f romance in the plot and it was an easy read. Honestly, I know this is a stand alone, but I would actually mind a sequel because there is space for more - really trying to avoid spoilers here.. 3⭐

Wicked Saints: A Novel | Emily A. Duncan
post image
Pickpick

The synopsis can be misleading, you have no clue how the characters will be united for the same cause, which is why after such a long time I found myself reading way past my bed time and went to work devastated. Wicked Saints from Emily A. Duncan completely went behind my expectations, it has unique morally questionable characters and fascinating discussions about magic and gods. 5 ⭐

2/5 ⭐. It has a very slow start, you get into the story or some sort of action only after page 80. This is supposed to be a stand alone but the ending felt so inconclusive. It was quite disappointing. There is a very interesting world building here, but all the intricate politics in the plot are left unexplained and characters are not developed at all. 😞

The Beautiful | Rene Ahdieh
post image
Pickpick

Wow, I loved this one so much and I can't wait to have the final copy with me. I gave it 4 out 5 stars, just because I was expecting more vampires. Overall, Renée Ahdieh is such a great writer, I felt like I was able to time travel back in 1870 New Orleans. It is a great plot, with the right amount of forbidden love that gives you the thrills. Damn, it left me with so many questions, I demand book two now.

I got this #ARC at #Yalc2019.
I found it wrong to compare this story to Wonder Woman or Black Panther. The plot has nothing similar to these movies. Unfortunately, I found the world building too heavy and too complex for me to take. The story was really dark and few times I was also thinking if this is right to propose this book for young adults...
2/5 stars

I was lucky to get an ARC for this book. I cannot believe how much I love it and I keep thinking, I want book number 2 now, and I still have to wait for book number 1 to be officially published. If you love modern YA fantasy you must add this to your stack! IT IS AMAZING!!! Adam Silver at his finest!

I really don't like to give up a book but after 4 days I was still stuck at page 89. I had to bail.
My third DNF of this year.
I couldn't really get into the story or characters. The world building was a mess.

❄ 🌟 I am in love with my queen, Sarah J. Maas 👑 , so I will give this book 4 stars (truly is a 3 stars, but I love her, what can I say...).

Honestly, nothing really major happens in this book. It was just pure fan service and this book is full of not-so-much young adult themes/scenes. I can't believe you can find this book in the children section! lol! 🤭

There is still so much to say about this world...😍

What is the best cliffhanger you have encountered in a book?

The ending of Marissa Meyer's Renegade was quite an unexpected surprise, I can't wait for the second part of this story.

I loved the story, I loved the diversity of the characters, and I loved the problematic romance.

Meyer is brilliant, but I am always open for new suggestions, so let me know your favorite cliffhanger.

My March recap - "catching up with series".
I am continuing to re-read ToG, I also picked up again The Mortal Instrument, but I am thinking if it's really worth to continue. I'm not so into it.

The best read was definitely The Raven Cycle #2. ❤️❤️

Wrinkle of times was a big DNF. ?

The Hazel Wood wasn't mind blowing, still it doesn't deserve all the bad critics, it is a good debut. ?

Hopefully next month work will allow me to read more!
