"I had heard about this book for many years before I read it. Ostensibly it is the autobiography of a former alcoholic who chronicles his struggles living rough on the streets of London in a vivid and unique style, but it is more than that. It is the story of determination and rebirth, the tale of a chess champion who overcomes a savage childhood to live again. A powerful book indeed."

The chronicles of the invaders by John Connolly and JENNIFER RIDYARD
By far above your average young adult series

Young lovers from two different worlds join together against a common foe...... sound chess doesn't it ? Well this is not your average teen love story fare . Connolly can turn his hand to practicaly any genre, he is know as a thriller writer but this series is up there with the best in this category

I was extremely excited when I heard Marissa Meyer would be coming out with another book (because Lunar Chronicles was 10 out of 10, let’s be honest), even more so when I learned it was about the Queen of Hearts. Marissa Meyer’s take on the villian’s backstory is unique, though I have to say the love interest isn’t my favorite. However, I did thoroughly enjoy this book and would most definitely recommend it!

This is the second book in the Durand Chronicles series by Lark Brennan
It's set in Paris and the author seems to have done her homework for the locations.
This is a Paranormal Romance between Adrien and Tate and although it's a well-written story, the characters and the plot are great, I struggled to fully enjoy it and in the end was more of a slog for me to get through.
