Empire of Storms by Sarah J. Maas (Review #115)

WARNING: SPOILER ALERT: IF YOU HAVE NOT GOTTEN THIS FAR IN THE THRONE OF GLASS SERIES, STOP NOW. DO NOT READ. THIS IS BOOK 5. FOR THE REVIEW ON BOOK 1, CHECK OUT THRONE OF GLASS. FOR BOOK 2, CHECK OUT CROWN OF MIDNIGHT. FOR BOOK 3, CHECK OUT HEIR OF FIRE. AND FOR BOOK 4, CHECK OUT QUEEN OF SHADOWS.

The long path to the throne has only just begun for Aelin Galathynius. Loyalties have been broken and bought, friends have been lost and gained, and those who possess magic find themselves at odds with those who don't.

With her heart sworn to the warrior-prince by her side, and her fealty pledged to the people she is determined to save, Aelin will delve into the depths of her power to protect those she loves. But as monsters emerge from the horrors of the past, and dark forces become poised to claim her world, the only chance for salvation will lie in a desperate quest that may mark the end of everything Aelin holds dear. Aelin will have to choose what -- and who -- to sacrifice if she's to keep the world of Erilea from breaking apart.”
Review:
This was my favorite installment. We are now in the beginning stages of the war against the real forces of evil now that the king is dead. The team is gathering forces and it proves to be a harder task than Aelin first anticipated. I absolutely loved it. Magic is back on the continent, Aelin and Rowan are in the throws of love, and Manon is slowly realizing which side of the war she’s on. And then there’s Elide!! On the road to find Aelin, along with an unexpected traveling buddy, which turned out to be way more interesting than I had anticipated.
Aedion and Lysandra are each bringing their own perspective to the group as well and we also see Dorian, post-collar. He’s got a dark side now and it’s to DIE for. OH! And have I mentioned the entire cadre is along for the ride????? Yeah we love to see it. Traveling across the lands we come across friends and enemies alike, along with those in between to cause all kinds of chaos.
AND THE ENDING. I was so distraught. It ripped my heart out of my chest and stomped it six feet under the ground. I have never been so unpair over a book. I actually cannot stand the wait for the final installment. It’s actually killing me. 
Overall, it was absolutely astonishing and I can’t say enough good things!!!

Girl, Stolen by April Henry (Review #1)

Hi. I'm Samantha and I hope you enjoy my first Book Review and the many more reviews to come. Thank You for stopping by! Synopsis: "Sixteen-year-old Cheyenne Wilder is sleeping in the back of the car while her stepmom fills her prescription. Before Cheyenne realizes what's happening, someone is stealing the car - with her inside! Griffin hadn't meant to kidnap Cheyenne; all he planned to do was take the car. But once Griffin's dad finds out that Cheyenne's father is the president of a powerful cooperation, everything changes - now there's a reason to keep her. How will Cheyenne survive this nightmare? She's not only sick - she's BLIND!" Review: This book was a lot better than I expected. It showed both points of view of the two main characters and the villain comes from an unexpected direction. I really loved stepping into the eyes of a blind person. Going through the struggles Cheyenne had to go through and all under extreme circumstance...

The Harpy by Megan Hunter (Review #245)

“Lucy Lives with her husband, Jake and their two boys. Her life is devoted to her children, her days, mapped out by their finally tune routine. Until a man calls one afternoon with a shattering message. His wife has been having an affair with Lucy’s husband. He thought she should know. Lucy is distraught. She decides to stay with Jake, if only for their children sake, but in order to even the score, they agreed that she will hurt him three times. Jake Will not know when the hurt is coming, or what form it will take. And so begins a delicate game of crime and punishment, from which there is no return…” Review: “Deeply unsettling” author Daisy Johnson said of this book, and honestly I think that’s the perfect description. For me though this wasn’t necessarily horror, and fantasy is a stretch at best, but let’s backtrack a bit. This story was about grief. Lucy is grieving and trying to heal from a monumental wound. She by no means is a pillar of a healthy psyche, but even in her worst mom...
