Phoenix Flame by Sara Holland (Review #204)

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

“Maddie Morrow thought her problems were over. She saved the Inn at Havenfall--a sanctuary between magical worlds hidden deep in the mountains of Colorado--from the evil Silver Prince. Her uncle the Innkeeper is slowly recovering from a mysterious spell that has left him not quite human. And there are still a few weeks of summer left to spend with her handsome, more-than-just-a-friend Brekken, even though she can't stop thinking about Taya.

But Maddie soon realizes there's more work to be done to protect the place her family has run for centuries. She must embark on a dangerous mission to put an end to the black-market trading of magical objects and open the Inn's doors to Solaria, the once feared land of shapeshifters.

As she tries to accomplish both seemingly impossible tasks, Maddie uncovers family secrets that could change everything. What if saving everyone means destroying the only home she's known?”

Review:

This sequel was another hit! Honestly this series is such a palette-cleanser, the best book-hangover cure you could ever ask for. Their both under 300 pages, the story is fast-paced and captivating.

And I love to see a bad bitch bisexual!!!! Was I rooting for the MaddiexTaya ship? Of course I I was. But Brekken really gave me a run for my money.

Along with the romance, we have realms to save and a soul trade to destroy. Last we read, Taya took a one way trip to Solaria, the once banished realm, now known to be the victims rather than the villains.

Some semblance of normalcy has returned to the inn, but with the chance her long-lost brother could be alive, Maddie will do just about anything to get him back. Even if that means traveling to the realms everyone thought humans could never go. But what if once she finds him, he doesn’t want to come back?

So many twists and turns, but in the end we come out satisfied. I hope we see another installment to this series but if not, this was a fantastic little getaway read. I’m definitely planning my next vacation at Havenfall Inn!

As always, let me know your own thoughts and feels down below in the comments!!

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
