Blessed Monsters by Emily A. Duncan (Review #210)

"The girl, the monster, the prince, the queen.

They broke the world.

And some things can never be undone.

they must unite once more to fight the dark chaos they've unleashed - but is it already too late?"

Review:

This was not as amazing as I was hoping!!!! Ugh I’m so torn on this one. I’ve really become invested in the three leading characters in this story and I was hyped to read their epic conclusion. This was what everything has culminated to; the epic collision between humans-not-humans, monsters-not-monsters, and gods-not-gods. However, this book seemed to just be a copy-and-paste from the last book.

Our group of villains are doing exactly what they did in the last book, squabbling amongst themselves and traveling to some unknown spot to stop the world from ending, or dying to try. That's basically it. I think the only difference this time around is that Nadya is as much of a monster as Malachiasz is. 

It was very frustrating for me to read of yet another mission to travel through unknown lands to end up exactly in the same spot our characters have always been in! Am I happy that (most) plot points finally saw their conclusion? Sure. But so much of this book is mush to me that it isn't until the last third of the book do we really start to see things take off. 

Overall, this final book left a bad taste in my mouth and a lot of disappointment. Big time bummer. 

Anyways, What did you think of the final book? 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.
