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

WARNING: SPOILER ALERT: IF YOU HAVE NOT GOTTEN THIS FAR IN THE SOMETHING DARK AND HOLY TRILOGY, STOP NOW. DO NOT READ. THIS IS BOOK 3. CHECK OUT WICKED SAINTS FOR THE REVIEW OF BOOK 1 AND CHECK OUT RUTHLESS GODS FOR BOOK 2! 

"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.

The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin (Review #20)

"Mara Dyer doesn't think life can get any stranger than waking up in a hospital with no memory of how she got there. It can. She believes there must be more to the accident she can't remember that killed her friends and left her mysteriously unharmed. There is. She doesn't believe that after everything she's been through, she can fall in love. She's wrong." Review: This is a book you simply have to read. It's probably a part of my top ten favorite books list. Mara is this girl who just lost her friends and boyfriend in a terrible, but also peculiar, accident and now people who tick her off - and who she's attracted to (cough-cough-Noah-cough-cough) - are in her powerful line of fire... It's a tantalizing tale that will have you (for a lack of a better cliche) gripping the edge of your seat!!

Antigoddess by Kendare Blake (Review #141)

"Old Gods never die.. or so Athena thought. But then the feathers started sprouting beneath her skin, invading her lungs like a strange cancer, and Hermes showed up with a fever eating away his flesh. So much for living a quiet eternity in perpetual health. Desperately seeking the cause of their slow, miserable deaths, Athena and Hermes travel the world, gathering allies and discovering enemies both new and old. Their search leads them to Cassandra - an ordinary girl who was once an extraordinary prophetess, protected and loved by a god. These days, Cassandra doesn't involve herself in the business of gods - in fact, she doesn't even know they exist. But she could be the key in a war that is only just beginning. Because Hera, the queen of the gods, has aligned herself with others of the ancient Olympians, who are killing off rivals in an attempt to prolong their own lives. But these antigods have become corrupted in their desperation to survive, horrific caric...
