4.5 stars.
Now this is a YA book that I got sucked in to, which is good after my last two failures.
This is my third book by the author and all of them have had either a 4.5/5 rating. I just love the authors writing and will now be making it a mission to read all of her work. She has now become a "favourite" author and I will be giving her her own shelf.
At the start of this I had no idea how it was going to play out but within those first few chapters I had started to fall for Ryan. He was so charming and nice and persistent in regards to Jamie and I loved it. What else can I say??
I can't wait to read the rest of the series!

This classic novel of Margaret Atwood is now a televised mini-series, but I really had to read the book before I start watching it. This fascinating historical fiction novel is a psychological profile based on the true story of Grace Marks, the woman convicted of a double homicide in 1843.

I picked up this volume, along with volume 2 when I saw it was the same writer of Atomic Blonde (Coldest City). The volume follows an heiress who is now in the US after fleeing Russia, and she happens to be a mercenary.
Of course, there were some Black Widow vibes, but I really liked it. It was engaging, and a quick read.

As a history nerd, with a degree in history, I can't believe I waited until now to read this book. I think it was deemed 'too new' when I was in high school/college to be included in the curriculum.
The book obviously is about guns, germs, and steel, and compares/contrasts civilizations throughout the world. It was an interesting angle, and I really liked it.

I can't wait for this movie to come out! I wish I had my own copy so I could read this again before the movie comes out but I checked it out of the library from my freshman year. I didn't expect to love it so much. This was the book that had gotten me into reading again. I used to read a lot when I was little but then I stopped but now I'm back at it again because of this book and I couldn't be more thankful for that!

3.75 stars.
I was quickly pulled into this story. It was a little strange for me to start with but the more I read, the more I got into it. I have to admit though, that I was waiting for something to happen between our Princes...and it never really did...which means I need to read the next one to see if anything will. As well as catching up with all the royal/political stuff that's going on right now.
Will get the second book in the morning.

Hauntingly amazing
This is the first time I’ve read this book, I read it because my grandfather did the cover illustrations for this edition and I can honestly say this book is amazing. I didn’t connect with it when I was younger but now I’m older I am amazed at how haunting this book is.
The suspense is there, the panic leaps between you and the book all the time and it’s amazing.
This isn’t my typical genre of book to read but now I can’t stop at just this one.
It’s not a particularly long book but it doesn’t miss anything, you won’t be grasping at the next one, you’ll just be taken by this one and transported like it’s the first book you’ve ever read.
I can’t say I found anything bad about this book because I didn’t. I will definitely be rereading it and moving onto the other two books in the ‘trilogy’ that Wordsworth Editions printed. I hope they are as satanic as this book, creepy but breathtaking.

Honestly, I devoured this book. It wasn’t hard to read and was a nice quick book. I did sort of enjoy it because it was a lighthearted book and a nice little YA read for a change.
However, Tess, the protagonist isn’t the most likeable. Her whole narration seems just like she’s complaining about everything and anything. She’s selfish, and to be honest she’s the typical YA protagonist that I’ve been trying to avoid by not reading YA any more.
Fair enough it was an entertaining book. It had an average plot that was slightly lacking, but as it was a YA it was all easy to follow and easy to read without getting bored.
Another reason behind my low rating is that I just didn’t find any of the characters realistic at all. They were all YA stereotypes – The Quiet One, The Fat Ones, and The Pretty Ones – and its just become overused and is now almost a satire of what true YA actually is.
I wouldn’t say I regret buying this. I’m trying to read more YA, and it was a quick read, it’s just definitely not something I’ll want to read again and I’m not sure it’s something I’d recommend unless you’re a really big fan of YA.
