Darren made his appearance as a new waiter in Virginia's cafe. He was extremely skittish and avoided eye contact with pretty much everyone. It's obvious he is on the run, but from what?! In Aftermath we learn his story, and boy, is it a good one. I loved how Darren grew in his self-confidence, once he realised that he actually had people he could call friends, and was helped by Lee. The relationship between these two is hot and romantic.

The other part that I loved about this book is that Connor, our long-term friendly (pesky) spirit, makes a new friend in Stefan. I absolutely adored this side story!

Laine and Severo are the main supporting characters in this book, although Zeke does get a quick mention.

So very well-written, with a smooth storyline and pace. There were no grammatical errors that I found, although as I was completely entranced by this story, I might not have noticed them.

This series is absolutely fantastic and I am thoroughly enjoying every book. I can wholeheartedly recommend both this book and the series as a whole.

When I sat down to read this book, I thought, "Hmm, interesting title.", the reason I started reading the novel in the first place.
Once I began to read the book, I couldn't put it down. The more I read the more I wanted to read.
It didn't turn out the way I thought it might, but that is a good thing. Because the author gave you an air of looking for one thing and then providing you with another entirely different ending to the story. Also making you want to read the next book in the series.
Thanks Kathryn Johnson for a wonderful mystery.
I was provided with a free copy of this book so I could give an honest review.

As Jamie Grimm prepares for the regionals in the Planet's Funniest Kid Contest, he must continue to deal with typical middle school problems like figuring out girls and relationships, his friend's problems, and tutoring his cousin who also happens to be the class bully.

I enjoyed this book more than the first in the series, possibly because I saw the more slice of life nature of the book. Some stories start and end early while others for running threads that last longer. Holding it all together is the comic contest. The fun illustrations help make this book a very fast read.

This book was interesting and like nothing like what I thought it would be from the description. I have not read the first book in the series and it did not affect my enjoyment of this book. However, I will be going back to read it as I want to know how the story started.
The Crownless King captured my imagination, and I had a hard time putting the book down. I thought the characters were strong and courageous and they had some twists that I did not see coming. So that made it even better for me. I also enjoyed the diverse character backgrounds and the relationships that developed between certain characters (I have no idea how to say more without giving spoilers!

The Elite ( The Selection 2)
By Kiera Cass
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

In America Singer's world, a bride is chosen for the prince through an elaborate televised competition. In the second book of the Selection series, America is one of only six girls left in the running. But is it Prince Maxon - and life as the queen - she wants? Or is it Aspen, her first love?
 

Honestly loved this book the last few chapters had be so emotional I think any book that brings your emotions out has to be a 5⭐️. We see America go through all sorts of emotions in this book, I don’t really trust Macon but hell they make a cute couple.
