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 PREGNANCY????? 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!

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...

Along for the Ride by Sarah Dessen (Review #34)

"Ever since her parents' divorce, Auden has been unable to sleep. She's built a routine that gets her through each night; but when the opportunity comes for her to spend her summer at the beach with her father and his new family, she jumps at the chance to break out of her rut. Life at the beach proves more challenging than Auden expects. In addition to trying to figure out how she fits in to her father's new life, she also has to navigate the girls at work with their gossip and friendship and crushes. And then there's Eli, a fellow insomniac who becomes her nocturnal tour guide. With an endless supply of long summer nights between them, almost anything can happen...." Review: I was a Sarah Dessen - virgin. This was my first time reading her work and it was inexhaustibly fantastic. I couldn't put it down. literally I stayed up all night reading this novel, maybe just how Dessen wanted me to. that is why I'm writing this at such an ungodly hour. Wh...
