I purchased this book from Barnes and Noble to read. All opinions are my own. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 A Curse So Dark and Lonely by Brigid Kemmerer. When this book came out I wasn’t going to read it. But there was so much hype and then the second book released and there was even more hype, so I caved. I bought it with a gift card from Barnes and Noble and dove into it. I was not disappointed. The explanation and transition between worlds worked beautifully. I fell in love with Rhen and Grey, (maybe Grey more so) I hated Lillith and wanted both worlds for Harper and Jacob and Noah. In order to break the curse Rhen must make a girl fall in love with him and save his Kingdom. Sounds easy right? Only he hasn’t been able to do it in the last 487 seasons so why is this one different? This is his last season, if it doesnt happen the curse and Lillith wins.

I purchased this book from Amazon to read. All opinions are my own. 🌟🌟🌟🌟 The Demonic Compendium by David Viergutz. This epic, dark fantasy surprised me. First, I had to look up the definition of Compendium because…..well, I had no idea! It makes sense though! Shaw, the only true prince sets out to avenge his family and claim his throne. Which seemed like a dauntful task but not impossible, at least before the demonic army attacks, then it seems like the battle for good vs. evil or right vs. wrong becomes unclear. Suddenly a death wish feels like the right thing. Viergutz takes us into a world where the lines of right vs. wrong becomes so blurred you have no idea what choice is best. I was able to invest in the characters and found myself rooting for a love story I never saw coming.

I purchased this book from @bookofthemonth to #buddyread with my bestie @mycornerforbooksand. All opinions are my own. 🌟🌟🌟🌟 The Bride Test by Helen Hoang. I never read The Kiss Quotient and I had no idea that this was a spin-off or continuation of that book, however reading this one I didn’t feel like I missed anything. Esme Tran has always felt out of place. Part American, part Vietnamese with green eyes, a young mother that never married, cleaning bathrooms in a hotel, so when an opportunity to go to America presents itself, she jumps at it. The opportunity though is only temporary. She must make the autistic, self-sufficient, no emotion feeling, Khai Diep, fall in love with her before the summer ends or she must return to Vietnam. The journey this book takes is wonderful and funny and romantic and happy and sad and everything you could want it to be until the twist at the end and then I wanted to throw the book on the floor and stomp on it. I loved everything about this book until then though! I was just so mad at the way it ended.

My bestie @mycornerforbooksand purchased this book for me. All opinions are my own. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 City of Glass by Cassandra Clare. Yes! We finally have some answers! Some of it came as shocking some of it not so much. This one was action packed and full of twists! I can also say if this is where Clare had chosen to end the series I would have been ok knowing what I know now, but she didn’t and there are still two more to read!
