The Eternal Ones by Kirsten Miller (Review #174)


"Haven Moore has always lived in the tiny town of Snope City, Tennessee. But for as long as she can remember, Haven has experienced visions of a past life as a girl named Constance, whose love for a boy called Ethan ended in a fiery tragedy.

One day, the sight of notorious playboy Iain Morrow on television brings Haven to her knees. Haven flees to New York City to find Iain and there, she is swept up in an epic love affair that feels both deeply fated and terribly dangerous. Is Iain her beloved Ethan? Or is he her murderer in a past life? Haven asks the members of the powerful and dangerous Ouroboros Society to help her unlock the mysteries of reincarnation and discover the secrets hidden in her past lives, and loves, before all is lost and the cycle begins again. But what is the Ouroboros Society? And how can Haven know who to trust?"

Review:
Here's your warning: I will be cursing.

First of all...no. Absolutely not. This is an outrage.

I should've known that a book published 10 years ago was going to be chock full of toxic behavior but I was ill prepared. Our main character, Miss Haven, you dumb bitch. This girl never ONCE had an original thought. She believed everything everyone told her, switching sides like this was MUSICAL FUCKING CHAIRS. Complete strangers coming up to her in broad daylight saying all this nonsense and she believes them without even BLINKING. It was so annoying, I lost count of how many times I launched this book across the room. 
Secondly, there's Iain. To begin, who the fuck spells Iain like that??? I know that this type of guy was the craze of the time, so I can't be too mad about it, but the dude lied every chance he got, was extremely possessive and controlling, and we're supposed to accept he's the good guy?? Hold the god damn phone.

Now, let's talk about Haven and Iain's relationship. They took the trope insta-love to new heights in this book and it made me so uncomfortable. Look, I get it, y'all have been together over many lifetimes. But homeboy was sucking face with this girl mere MINUTES upon meeting. I was looking like...I-is this allowed??? Should I call the police??? 
I was so frustrated with this entire thing, but I finished this in less than two days. We were on a journey and I wanted to know how it ended, it just so happened I had a terrible driver at the wheel of the story. AND THE END LEFT US WITH A CLIFFHANGER!!! I - *sigh* I am so TIRED. I'm gonna have to read the sequel and I'm so upset about it.  I don't know how to end this review, just please don't fall down this rabbit hole. Leave this book ALONE!

I guess gimme your thoughts and feels, I just can't handle this TOMFOOLERY.

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
