I really, really want to give this 4 stars. However, my ratings don't just include how much I enjoyed the story, they also include how I feel about punctuation, misspelled words, and grammar. Honestly, that is the only thing keeping me from giving You Loved Me At My Darkest 4 stars. There were several misspelled words (and I am aware that some of these words are not spelled the American way - I do not considered these words misspelled), some places where words were missing, and a good amount of incorrect punctuation. However! I really, really enjoyed reading this book. Despite it being hard to keep up with perspective (mostly in the beginning), I was easily captivated and it wouldn't let go! The story was heartbreaking, but filled with so much fight and spirit. I didn't want to put it down. My heart beat in sync with Lily's. I felt her pain, I felt her fear, I felt her love. I was more reserved in allowing myself to completely trust Jake, more so than Lily was, but it was easy to see that there was something bigger going on. I definitely do not regret finding Evie's book!

Started off well but became more unbelievable as the story progressed. It was a pleasant enough read. I wouldn't really class this as Military romance even though this is what I was led to believe. I thought SEIGE was a bit wishy washy and the bad guys could have been overpowered with a 4 yr old brandishing a water pistol (sorry that was a little unfair) The bad guys could have been a bit more badder! ( Is that even a word?!)

And the dangling knives...what is this a cartoon.

I am Bat by Morag Hood is a simple picture book. There are many things children will enjoy about it. The main character, Bat, is grumpy and selfish with his food, but he is adorable.The illustrations are cute and the reader ends up liking this grumpy little bat. The drawings are simple, but are done well. The book touches on fruit, colors, feelings, and hints at friends.

I give this story 4/5 stars.

I received this book from Sourcebooks Jabberwocky via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I adored this book. I got stalking jack the ripper vibes when I first started reading this - but since I hated ripper I thought for sure I would grow to dislike this book - but that was not the case at all for me. I thought it was well written and interesting and not predictable at all, I thought for sure I knew who did it but.. nope, wrong! There were a few parts I was like, meh on, hence the 4 stars instead of 5 but still a definite must read book!

3.5 stars.

I like Abbi Glines' work, some more than others.

This started good, I liked the somewhat forbidden-ness of going after the girl your roommate says he's going to marry in the future. I liked the connection between Marcus and Low.

I just figured out the dilemma of both their families from more or less page 20. It was a bit too obvious so I have no idea why neither of them could figure it out sooner.

I have books 3 and 4 in this series and I'm going to read them next.

Really enjoyed this... it does seem to have led into a follow up book which can be annoying at times, especially if the author doesn't wrap up what is going on in the plot of the current book.This one did slightly do this hence the 4 stars and not 5.
All in all I really enjoyed the concept and plot of this book. I disliked one of the main characters which I don't think was intentional but that is a personal preference.
Would defo recommend to YA/dystopian fans.
