In this sweeping finale, The Diviners will be forced to confront their greatest fears and learn to rely on one another if they hope to save the nation, and world from catastrophe...."

Review:

What an absolute banger of a finale. I cried TWICE. 

We are on this final ride with this Divine team and I have been so excited to see where it all ends. We’ve been following each of these amazing characters through not just supernatural trials, but real world prejudices and boy, did it deliver. This was just a phenomenal journey to be on. We have a team made up of all walks of life, and each character is a fully flushed out three dimensional person with desires and secrets, faults and fine lines. 

Libba Bray did the unimaginable and used fantasy and horror as tools towards a historical fiction never seen before. I honestly cannot wrap my head around how fantastic this series is. Wow. I adored every frickin’ main character, even at their worst. 

The last 150 pages or so, I was a MESS! It’s a lot for me to cry for a book, let alone bring on the flood that was my face. I felt a part of this found family and I devastated to have to let them go. 

This series for me is an instant classic and honestly I want to thrust it into the hands of our youth. More people need to be talking about this, I want everyone to know about these books and I want us all to talk about what masterpieces these books are. 

IF YOU HAVENT YET STARTED THIS SERIES OR NEEDED THAT FINAL PUSH FOR THIS LAST BOOK, THIS IS YOUR SIGN. ITS WORTH IT AND SO MUCH MORE!!!

Girl, Stolen by April Henry (Review #1)

Hi. I'm Samantha and I hope you enjoy my first Book Review and the many more reviews to come. Thank You for stopping by! Synopsis: "Sixteen-year-old Cheyenne Wilder is sleeping in the back of the car while her stepmom fills her prescription. Before Cheyenne realizes what's happening, someone is stealing the car - with her inside! Griffin hadn't meant to kidnap Cheyenne; all he planned to do was take the car. But once Griffin's dad finds out that Cheyenne's father is the president of a powerful cooperation, everything changes - now there's a reason to keep her. How will Cheyenne survive this nightmare? She's not only sick - she's BLIND!" Review: This book was a lot better than I expected. It showed both points of view of the two main characters and the villain comes from an unexpected direction. I really loved stepping into the eyes of a blind person. Going through the struggles Cheyenne had to go through and all under extreme circumstance...

The Harpy by Megan Hunter (Review #245)

“Lucy Lives with her husband, Jake and their two boys. Her life is devoted to her children, her days, mapped out by their finally tune routine. Until a man calls one afternoon with a shattering message. His wife has been having an affair with Lucy’s husband. He thought she should know. Lucy is distraught. She decides to stay with Jake, if only for their children sake, but in order to even the score, they agreed that she will hurt him three times. Jake Will not know when the hurt is coming, or what form it will take. And so begins a delicate game of crime and punishment, from which there is no return…” Review: “Deeply unsettling” author Daisy Johnson said of this book, and honestly I think that’s the perfect description. For me though this wasn’t necessarily horror, and fantasy is a stretch at best, but let’s backtrack a bit. This story was about grief. Lucy is grieving and trying to heal from a monumental wound. She by no means is a pillar of a healthy psyche, but even in her worst mom...
