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!!!

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
