The Reappearance of Rachel Price by Holly Jackson

challenging emotional mysterious tense

4.25

This book was so good. It might have been a bit slow for the first half but even then was entertaining. The plot twists were crazy and the final few chapters were tense and quite scary. The main character was annoying but she got better..kind of. I really loved the mother-daughter relationship portrayed (in the end). Another good read by Holly Jackson. 

The Mindf*ck Series by S.T. Abby

challenging dark inspiring mysterious sad tense fast-paced

4.0

I really loved this series, the books were fast paced and easy to read. Lana myers is my new favourite fmc, she was such a badass. I like how her character showed how your own revenge is sometimes the only way of getting justice. Even though her past was so depressing and horrible, the revenge definitely made up for it. The fbi agents were cool too and even though logan annoyed me sometimes, he was sweet. Anyway, i highly recommend this series, but be aware of the dark themes. 

Killer Instinct by Jennifer Lynn Barnes

mysterious tense fast-paced

3.75

This book was honestly pretty good. I found the mystery much more interesting and well planned out compared to the first book. Some scenes actually scared me, so it was fun to read. One thing i really like in this series is the friend group, not only the naturals but the fbi agents too, who doesn't love some found family? Oh, and team dean all the way. Overall, it wasnt really very special to me but i did enjoy the read. 

A Curse for True Love by Stephanie Garber

adventurous emotional hopeful

3.5

This book was kinda good though it wasnt as amazing as i anticipated it to be. That was a bit dissapointing as i was really excited for it. It had way too much of apollo, like we barely saw him in the second book(which was good), and had some plot holes. It felt different compared to her other books, but its okay. This series was amazing and ill always love it (the 2nd book especially). Evajacks' ending was not so satisfying and they didnt feel the same this book but i'm happy they made it together, i'll miss them.

(Mild spoilers) Oh my god, this book was just so good but heartbreaking.  Cath and jest were the cutest thing and the book was so happy until.. Aahh. Jest was so sweet and was such a gentleman, his ending killed me. Though, Cath's change of character over time was somehow even more depressing. Everyone's future was so bleak but i love how beautifully tragic it is and how sad it made me feel. This book is not recommended enough, it really should be.

This book was amazing. I can't explain how much i love the crows, my favourite characters ever, they made such a good found family. All of their backstories and character quirks were perfect. I loved the couples especially kaz and inej, their love is precious. The plot twists were crazy too and i liked the ending except for...that. I think the plot was very well writen. I spent so long reading this book that i feel horrible finishing it now. I'll miss this duology alot, definitely worth reading.

Wow, i loved this book. All of the crows and their dynamics were amazing. Kaz is an evil genius, inej is such a girlboss and i like the rest of them so much too. The whole heist and its plot twists were a bit hard to understand but so interesting. I never had to panic about them not being able to escape cause they always had some plan or the other. I would rate this book more but i read it in a depressing time so.. Yeah. Overall, i loved it. 

Divine Rivals by Rebecca Ross

adventurous emotional hopeful

3.75

This book was honestly good but a little slow. I wasnt very intrigued and involved in the story as i hoped to be but the end was interesting and made me think about it. I really loved the letters between iris and roman, they were so deep and beautiful. I also liked the world building, it was kinda gloomy in a way i liked. Overall, a good but not great book for me. 

The Housemaid by Freida McFadden

mysterious

3.0

This book was okay, but there was nothing much special about it to me. The first half was boring because there was nothing really happening, but the plot did escalate quickly after that. I have to agree though, the plot twist was shocking. And i did like how i started the book not liking the two main characters, millie and nina, but ended up fully changing my opinion. Overall, not a dissapointing read but not so good either.

This book was honestly great. It was just a bit slow at first but when things started to get going..they started to get going indeed. I have never rooted for a charcter more than pip. She served the justice everyone deserved. I was so nervous for her and this book made me anxious. The ending was unsatisfying and i NEED to know more about what happens next. I love pip and ravi, they're just so perfect together and in my head that ending did not happen. Overall, i really enjoyed this series and it definitely is worth it.
