A bit of a lie, me completing it that is, i got to 41% before i gave it up.
Don't get me wrong, i was enjoying it but it's not really my kind of book and since it's been on my "currently reading" list for a couple of weeks and im not in any rush to get back to it, i'm giving it up.

I'm not going to lie. I skipped a majority of this book and I couldn't bring myself to read Apollyon. I wanted to know how things would end, but I couldn't bring myself to read the last 2 books. I don't think it's Jennifer as an author, because I loved her Lux series, this one just wasn't for me.

Thank you to Netgalley for giving me the opportunity to read this book. I'm sorry I really am,I really REALLY wanted to like it and I could lie and tell you I did but I really didn't and I was always told honesty is the best policy (but please don't hate me,I'm a fragile soul) I had heard amazing things about this book but for me it fell flat. It made me cringe which is half the reason why I just didn't enjoy it. It wasn't for me that is all,but I promise there are so many people out there that adore this book unfortunately I just wasn't one of them.
Kristina (502 KP) rated Verum (The Nocte Trilogy, #2) in Books
Dec 7, 2020
I'm not crazy. I haven't been diagnosed with being mentally insane. I don't hear voices inside my head and I don't hallucinate. At least, I don't think so. After reading Verum, I don't know what to think anymore. Is this real? Am I real? What are we? Courtney Cole has me spiraling in a deep pit of unending madness and I don't think I can claw my way out. When Nocte was finished, I was curious to find out what Dare's secret was, but I felt stable - finally. Then I read Verum. I felt like I was becoming insane, as if the insanity of the Savage's home was transmitting from the pages and straight into my brain. I couldn't keep up and just when I thought I was, everything would crumble and I'd have to rebuild. From the beginning, things were shaky and weird, but as the book progressed, I literally felt my sanity slipping. Calla walked me through a roller coaster of emotions that ended up with one same feeling: crazy. I felt psychotic. Literally. Mystery after mystery, lie after lie, revelation after revelation. I didn't know what was real and what was a figment of Calla's imagination. I still don't know if I should believe any of what I just read. Courtney has made me question my existence. I'm a little afraid to read Initium and then Lux. No, scratch that, I'm terrified. The worst part? As frustrated as I am at not knowing the full story or being able to understand the full picture, I absolutely love it. Guess that makes me certifiable. I'm insane.

What took me so Long!
I can not belive how long it took me to see this film. I am a huge nerd, and a lover of Easter egs, so this should have been a cinema go for me (ypu remember what cinemas were, don't you?)
A film that takes a very interesting look at a possible future where VR is king. Not going to lie, I would be totally up for this future (-evil corperations, but what are the odds we can get rid of them). It is interesting, since this came out the year before the pandemic, how amazing would it be to meet up with all the people we have not seen in a year, in a virtual cafe, or game together. All we have now is Zoom and Among Us.
I digress, this film had me hooked from the first moment. The characters are compelling, though J suspect they have been "Hollywooded" a little bit, and the story is really good.
You know what I have to do now, don't you?
Read the books. And wouldn't you know it, some very considerate person put them in my Amazon shopping basket....

I enjoyed Alice Feeney's first book, Sometimes I Lie, very much, so I was definitely looking forward to reading I Know Who You Are. I was not disappointed!
Meet Aimee Sinclair: the actress everyone thinks they know but can’t remember where from.
Except one person.
Someone knows Aimee very well.
They know who she is and they know what she did.
For fear of spoilers, I'm going to be purposefully vague. I don't want to ruin the ride for anyone!
I will say that this book was disturbing in so many ways, and completely twisted in more than one way. So.Many.Twists.
I enjoyed the back and forth between past and present. It kept me guessing in a way that meant I never truly figured it out, so the big reveal definitely got me.
A great sophomore effort and a great read! Looking forward to seeing more from this author!

Not just about the zombies
To be totally honest, I was expecting a cheesy zombie novel especially as it was a free download from Amazon but I was pleasantly surprised; it kept me entertained from start to finish.
I don't need to go into detail about the story itself as it's clearly described in the blurb above but what I will say is that I found it different to the usual zombie books that are around in that it's not just about blood, guts and gore which, I'm not going to lie, there is some graphic scenes of death but this is not the main focus of the book.
The main character, Jack, is an interesting one. He did take time to grow on me because I felt like he was wasting time rather than trying to figure out what the heck was going on but once he did, his police instinct kicked in and that determination to get to the bottom of the dire situation in which he finds himself in came to the fore.
Written at great pace, this is an easy book to read. There are a few grammatical errors but it didn't distract me from enjoying it and I will certainly be reading more by this author.

Not gonna lie...I was a bit sceptical when I picked up this book. But I was quickly pulled into the world of Reds and Silvers and the Red Guard. I found myself listening to this book every spare minute I had. Intrigue, secrets, unknown powers, fears, lies, family, betrayal, and HOPE bleed onto the pages of this book in a neverending flow.
I still don't know who to trust, although I DO know who is evil...I think...You know, come to think of it...I have no idea...afterall...
“Anyone can betray anyone.”
― Victoria Aveyard, Red Queen
It is ridiculously hard to review a book like this...Only because I don't want to give away spoilers. So I will leave you with this...If you love YA books...and have a fascination with dystopian/sci-fi type books...You should definitely give Red Queen a try. I think you will really enjoy it! Now excuse me while I finish the series....
I borrowed Red Queen on audio from my local library. I was not required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are mine alone.
