Endless Knight by Kresley Cole (Review #70)

WARNING: SPOILER ALERT: IF YOU HAVE NOT GOTTEN THIS FAR IN THE ARCANA CHRONICLES, STOP NOW. DO NOT READ. THIS IS BOOK 2. FOR THE REVIEW OF BOOK 1, CHECK OUT POISON PRINCESS!

"Evie has fully come into her powers as the Tarot Empress, and Jack was there to see it all. She now knows that the teens who've been reincarnated as the Tarot are in the throes of an epic battle. It's kill or be killed, and the future of mankind hangs in the balance.

With threats lurking around every corner, Evie is forced to trust her newfound alliance. Together they must fight not only other Arcana, but also Bagmen zombies, post-apocalyptic storms, and cannibals.

When Evie meets Death, things get even more complicated. Though falling for Jack, she's drawn to the dangerous Endless Knight as well. Somehow the Empress and Death share a history - one that Evie can't remember, but Death can't forget..."

Review:

So the sequel of the Arcana Chronicles did not disappoint it bridged in the psychotic (cannibals, self-mutilation and erotic fantasies) but was wrought with intrigue beyond belief. The Arcana Cards continue to amaze and I'm absolutely enamored with the concept of "the Game". However, Death aka Aric, is a new love interest in young Evie's life and from other book responses I've read, everyone seems to be on team Death. BUT WHY?! Evie is not married to him, despite contrary belief made by Death. He seems to be under the impression that he is "owed" his wife. HOW ABOUT NO. I feel like Evie is going to succumb to his wishes out of pity!! And Jack is still madly in love with her!! He had secrets that he kept (and rightfully so, in my opinion) to protect Evie and being separated from her for an undocumented amount of time seems to be penance enough, Aric does not seem to love Evie the way she loves him, but seems to think of her as a possession that was stolen from him. The book ended with an enormous cliffhanger and I anxiously await the third installment. All I have to say is let the Game Begin...

Burn for Burn by Jenny Han & Siobhan Vivian (Review #29)

"Lillia has never had any problems dealing with boys who like her. Not until this summer, when one went too far. No way will she let the same thing happen to her little sister. Kate is tired of the rumors, the insults, the cruel jokes. It all goes back to one person - her ex-best friend - and she's ready to make her pay. Four years ago, Mary left Jar Island because of a boy. But she's not the same girl anymore. And she's ready to prove it to him. Three very different girls who want the same thing: sweet, sweet revenge. And they won't stop until they've each had a taste." Review: This book was FAN-TAS-TIC!! I am not for the petty popular girl books, and this is definitely not one of those books. The revenge you wish you got on the person who double-crossed you is finally let loose In one of the best and most inventive ways, and the ending left me jaw-dropped. This is a book everyone should have on their shelf.

Wicked Saints by Emily A. Duncan (Review #143)

"A girl named Nadya, who hears the whispers of the gods inside her head. A prince surrounded by desperate suitors and deadly assassins. A monster hidden behind pale, tortured eyes - and a smile that cuts like a knife. The paths of these characters becomes entwined during a centuries-long war filled with sinners and saints, magic and mystery, and a star-crossed romance that threatens to tip the scales between dark and light forever." Review: This was one of the best reads I’ve had in a long while. It DEVASTATED ME. BUT IN THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE. Nadya and Serefin were both complicated, messy, yet divine characters. Neither were in the right or wrong but both knew the endgame. I loved every second of it. These characters never did what was expected of them and I loved there growth from beginning to end. And MALACHIASZ?????? I shipped it so hard. Every twist and turn had me hoping he and Nadya would set sail. Their dynamic was so intriguing to me. They were enemies of a hig
