I found a young adult romance novel that I like! This is big guys. The Wrath and the Dawn is exciting, it’s heartbreaking, it’s different. When I first started reading this I did think it would be the stereotypical teen romance novel, mainly because the front of the book says “She came for revenge, will she stay for love?” I read that and knew they would fall in love. I was not prepared to be taken on this Aladdin-esque adventure. Continue reading The Wrath and the Dawn by Renne Ahdieh

Wink Poppy Midnight by April Genevieve Tucholke
I first saw this book on an instagram account I follow and was really excited to read it. My friend read it next and didn’t like it but of course I had to read it still, I mean, look at the cover! I know you’re not supposed to judge a book by its cover, but this was a cover read for me. I give this a 4 out of 5. It keeps you on your toes, keeping track of who is who, who did what, and why. It does get weird and kind of confusing at the end, which is why it’s not 5 out of 5. Now for some info on the book!
A hero. A villain. A liar. Who’s who? A modern day fairy tale with monsters hiding in pretty things and heroes that don’t know they’re heroes. But who can tell who is a hero and who is a villain? No one in this book. Continue reading Wink Poppy Midnight by April Genevieve Tucholke
Immaculate by Katelyn Detweiler
You know when 
you are promised a really awesome surprise and then when you get the surprise it’s brussels sprouts or something? That’s how I felt when I finished this book. Now don’t get me wrong, it was a great story, the ending was just disappointing.
Mina is the top of her class; straight A’s, most popular boyfriend in school, the two best friends a girl could ask for, a great job, and a pretty great family. Then this creepy old lady comes into her work one night talking about protecting Mina and her baby. A few weeks later, Mina finds out she’s pregnant…except she’s a virgin. The story gets out and people start telling her she is going to Hell if she keeps the story up and they keep getting angrier when she won’t give it up. You’re probably thinking what I was thinking when I was reading it, why is Mina pregnant, is this a modern day Jesus? Unfortunately we never find out. Spoiler alert: Mina tells everyone the baby dies, moves to New York, and that’s the end of the book. WHAT?!?! I read this whole thing and that’s how you’re gonna end it Detweiler?!?! I mean, come on, really?
If you like reading books that have no answers to them, this ones for you.
Vicious by V.E. Schwab
This book ended up not being what I expected, but it was still a very good book! I wouldn’t read this if you are looking for a fantasy book, but if you’re looking for a crime drama then I would suggest this one.
This book is about Victor Vale and Eli Cardale/Ever and their hatred towards one another. They started out as college roommates but when a science experiment that they performed on themselves worked for Eli and not for Victor, he got jealous and tried the experiment again. Without Eli this time. The experiment is trying to give them superpowers, or turn themselves into ExtraOrdinary’s (EO’s) in other words. Someone gets killed and Victor and Eli decide to hate each other. One thing I thought I would like about the book, but ended up not liking, is the fact that they explain how Eli and Victor get their superpowers through science. I thought that would be cool to know, but it turns out it just made the powers less cool. More natural, as if anyone could become an EO if they wanted to.
My favorite part of the book was Victor picking Sydney up on the side of the road when she was hurt and taking her in. When he did that, I figured out who the “good guy” was and who the “bad guy” was. There should be a sequel coming out soon and I can’t wait to read it! Comment what you think!
