Review: Rebel

Rebel by Marie Lu
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

⭐️3 stars⭐️

It is not weakness to open your heart.
It does not make you less of a man to to ask for help.
To turn to someone when you're vulnerable.
To need a shoulder to cry on.
You don't have to bear the weight of anything by yourself.

Witches and people alike. One and the same. All innocent. All guilty.

All dead.

Review: Ninth House

Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

⭐️5 stars⭐️

This was the moment he'd been waiting for: the chance to show someone else wonder,
to watch them realize that they had not been lied to,
that the world they'd been promised as children was not something that had to be abandoned,
that there really was something lurking in the wood, beneath the stairs, between the stars,
that everything was full of mystery.

Review: The Burning Shadow

The Burning Shadow by Jennifer L. Armentrout
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

⭐️3.5 stars⭐️

Real strength does not exist in muscles or deadly skill.
It exists in your ability to pick yourself up and keep going after the shit hits the fan.
That's strength.

Capturing the Devil

Capturing the Devil by Kerri Maniscalco
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

⭐4 stars⭐

Promise me to wake each day and find joy wherever you can, no matter how small it may be.

There will always be hard times and trying times and times for sorrow, but we won't let those days destroy the here and now.

Because right now? I'm here. And you're here. And the present is more glorious than the future and all of its unknowns.

The Hero Within

The Hero Within by Bec McMaster
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

⭐️4 stars⭐️

When did you stop fighting?
When did it become easier to give in, just a little?
When did you become numb, even as a part of you died, over and over again?

He wished he didn't know.

The Last True Hero

The Last True Hero by Bec McMaster
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

⭐3.5 stars⭐

People sometimes find a kind of strength in hard situations that you'd never believe they owned.
Maybe she's never had to be fearless, because you were there beside her? Or maybe she knows that her sister would shift hell and high water to get her back?
Maybe that's her strength, right now, knowing that you're coming for her.

I'm so intrigued by Colton. This was good but I just can't wait for his story.

Nobody's Hero

Nobody's Hero by Bec McMaster
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

⭐4 stars⭐

She needed someone to argue with. Someone who challenged her to stand at his side, not just step in front of her to protect her. Someone who pushed her to be the woman she knew she could be, not just the type of woman he wanted.

The Iron Warrior

The Iron Warrior by Julie Kagawa
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

⭐3.5 stars⭐

Puck winked at me. "I'm sure I'll see you again, whether you like it or not."

"Yeah," I deadpanned. "So looking forward to it."

Puck laughed again. "Don't you forget it. Until the next adventure kiddos."

Sticking his hands into his pockets, the Great Prankster sauntered off, whistling until he reached the edge of the trees and vanished into the shadows.

The first part of the series will always be my favorite but I loved this world and I'm glad I got the chance to be back in it. Ash, Puck and Meghan will forever be my babies..

And as Puck said: Until the next adventure kiddos.

Puck dropped to the monster's snout, right in front of its glowing eyes, grinning cheekily.
"Hey, ugly, lookee here! I'm doing the Macarena on your nose."

I would not worry about that, mortal.

No one ever leaves the Nevernever completely sane.

I missed this world!
Ash is still a babe. Puck is still adorkable. And grumpy Ethan and awesome Kenzie make it easy to love them.
Can't wait for more.

Storm and Fury

Storm and Fury by Jennifer L. Armentrout
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

⭐4.5 stars⭐

"I'm guessing the sky is full of stars?"

"It is, but the only ones that matter are the ones you see."

I'm a huge JLA fan. Her stories always make me feel all fuzzy and happy on the inside. However I wasn't a big fan of her Dark Elements series so I wasn't really sure what to expect from this.

I am very happy to say I enjoyed this. The gargoyles, the action, the special snowflake who, for once, didn't feel sorry for her powers, the angst. I see some things that could get annoying in the following books but we'll get to that if and when it happens.

For now I'll do my happy dance and wait for more.

The Merciful Crow

The Merciful Crow by Margaret Owen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

⭐️4 stars⭐️

"Are you done?" the arbiter demanded.

"Aye cousin, this'll do." Pa whistled the marching order. "We'll be back when you call."

When, not if.

I actually really enjoyed this. Maybe I was in the right mood for it because most of my friends either dnf or didn't really like it and I went in with low expectations. I also get how the writing might be annoying for some but, thankfully, I wasn't bothered by it at all.

One star is gone because of some issues with the characters at times but overall this book was a plesant surprise for me.
