The Dark Calling by Kresley Cole (Review #218)

WARNING: SPOILER ALERT: IF YOU HAVE NOT GOTTEN THIS FAR IN THE ARCANA CHRONICLES, STOP NOW. DO NOT READ. THIS IS BOOK 5. FOR THE REVIEW ON BOOK 1, CHECK OUT POISON PRINCESS, FOR BOOK 2, CHECK OUT ENDLESS KNIGHT, FOR BOOK 3, CHECK OUT DEAD OF WINTER, AND FOR BOOK 4, CHECK OUT ARCANA RISING!

“In a world teetering on the edge . . . 
When Evie receives life-changing—and possibly game-changing—news, she has trouble believing it. Why doesn’t she feel any different? Is it possible someone she trusts might be  lying? 

With enemies at every turn . . . 
Tensions seethe inside the castle of lost time as Evie starts to doubt her own sanity. Answers can be found outside their stronghold, but will Death help her find them—or prevent her from learning the truth about her future and Jack’s possible survival? 

Darkness beckons.  
A mysterious, sinister power begins to affect the Arcana in its path. Forced out into the wasteland alone, Evie must depend on unexpected allies. But as a battle with Richter looms, can her new alliance defeat the Dark Calling before hell reigns on earth?”

Review:
I’ve never started a book with so much anger in my heart. Not only a pregnancy trope, but a FORCED PREGNANGY????? No absolutely not. Honestly I almost refused to read this for that simple fact alone. No way is everyone trying to gaslight a 17-year-old into having a baby. NOPE. The legendary (17-year-old) Empress is saddled with a baby???? Gimme a break.

This installment really just pissed me off if I'm completely honest. It was really just more turmoil of deciding between Aric and Jack; at this point I don't really care who she chooses, if she even does pick. Frankly I was hoping the entire time for something to happen and the baby would die so we could focus on more important things like... the WAR???? 

I will say though my favorite part of this one was the scene with the Cups suit. OMG. Bad bitch energy!!!!! Honestly good for her. 

Of course now I must anxiously await for the final installment to be released along with everyone else. Last time I checked, it was reported to come out Summer 2022, so let's hope that's true!

As always, let me know your own thoughts and feels down below in the comments, and I'll catch you on the next one!

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
