My Review 

Thank you so much to Hodder and Stoughton for my proof of Stephanie Garber.
I'm obsessed with this book, I devoured reading this book. I couldn't stop thinking about Caraval after finishing. Caraval is an Epic action story, the world building is stunning and the characters are brilliant. I loved the writing I couldn't put it down, Caraval is my favourite book of 2016 by far. the only problem about recieving proofs is that you have to wait extra longer for the next book, but it will be worth it.

My rating for Caraval is 5 stunning stars.

My Review 

First of Thank you so much to Bloomsbury books UK for my copy of A Court of Mist and Fury.
I'm a huge fan of Sarah J Maas she is one of my all time favourite author ever! To me Sarah is the new J.K Rowling.

I Had so many feelings for this book! A Court of Mist and Fury is an amazing second book to a series. There was so many surprise throughout this book; I adored the world, I loved reading about  The Night Court and meeting the new characters more. The character development is just on point and the world building is amazing! I did not see that ending coming it gave me chills. I don't know if I can wait any longer for book 3, at least I've got Empire of Storms  (Throne of Glass) coming out in September that will keep me going until then. I don't know how Sarah J Maas does it, she never ever disappoints me.

My rating for A Court of Mist and Fury 5 bloody amazing stars!!

The Leaving by Tara Alterbrando

Summary 

Here is a link to the summary for The Leaving by Tara Alterbrando https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/26073074-the-leaving

My Review 

First of thank you so much to Bloomsbury UK for my copy of The Leaving.

The Synopsis of the Leaving sounded really interesting and something that I would enjoy, and I did enjoy it when I started reading I got sucked in right away. The story was separate and so was the characters throughout this novel I found that really interesting and it kept me turning those pages fast because I had to know what was happening. I enjoyed the format of The Leaving I thought that was a nice aspect to the story. 
However I thought the book didn't need to be as long as it did, but overall it was enjoyable interesting  read. 

My rating for The Leaving is four stars. 

And I Darken by Kiersten White

Summary 

Here is a link to the summary for And I Darken https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/27190613-and-i-darken

My Review 

First of thank you so much to Penguin Books UK for my advanced readers copy, I really much appreciate it. And I Darken is a YA fantasy but it's not any normal YA fantasy you would read.

I was really looking forward to reading And I Darken and it certainly didn't disappoint, this book is so brutal but so good at the same time. I enjoyed reading about Lada, she's your anti-princes bad-ass heroine. I love the relationship between Lada and her brother Radu, she really protects Radu and that's nice to read about.  The world building throughout this book is incredible, so many twist and turns that you realise your sitting on the edge of your sheet. I loved Kiersten White writing style she tells the story really well.

And I Darken is a brilliant start to a trilogy which I'm really looking forward to continue on reading. My rating for And I Darken is four starts I can't wait for book two.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17788681-the-stars-never-rise




My Review 

Here is another author that is one of my all times favourites and that's Rachel Vincent.

I read The Star Never Dies and The Flame Never Dies, a massive thank you to Delacorte Press for my early copy of TFND I really appreciate it!! I LOVED this duology I gave the first book four starts and the second/last book 5 stars. It took me a little while to get into the first book but once I carried on reading I fell in love with the characters.

What I also loved about The Star Never Rise's is the two main characters are sisters, I haven't read a book with sisters in for ages so that was nice to read about and I cared for them greatly. There was so many twist and turns round ever corner I just couldn't stop reading I had to know what was happening!

Of course I always love Rachel Vincent's writing. When I read the second book she took it to the next level, it was so action packed!!

I've read all of Rachel Vincent other books and I LOVE THEM ALL>

My Rating The Star Never Rise's 4/5 The Flame Never Dies 5/5

Thank you so much to Rachel Vincent for my signed copy of Shift and The Flame Never Dies I'm in love one of my most precious items and I hope you come to the UK for a book signing so I can meet you. Hopefully one day! <3

The Raven Cycle by Maggie Stiefvater

Summary

My Review 

Maggie Stiefvater is one of my all-time favourite authors ever! I've read every single one of her books and I love them so much in their own way.  The Raven Cycle series though is one of my all time favourites, Maggie's writing is simply beautiful her characters and world building are to die for. It's easy to get so lots in one of Maggie's story. if you haven't read a Maggie Stiefvater book do it now, it doesn't matter if its Shiver, The Scorpio Races, The Raven Boys I promise you will fall in love with a Stiefvater book! I've already meet Maggie once and She's on tour this year and coming to my town in August I get to meet her twice and I'm SO EXCITED I already have the Shiver trilogy signed, I can get all the other books signed by her. I've followed Maggie online for years (I'm not stalking her)  she is simply amazing I love her tweets.

5/5 starts to all of her books she ever wrote!!

The Red Rising trilogy by Pierce Brown

Summary

Here is a link to the summary for Red Rising. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15839976-red-rising?from_new_nav=true&ac=1&from_search=true




















Red Rising Trilogy review.




















I started Red Rising and it was a little bit slow at first as you had to get used to how the way characters talked, get used to the new world that we are introduced, get to know the characters. I kept on reading as I couldn't put it down and I just had to know what happened next and believe me it was worth it to keep on reading trust me. I got used to Pierce Brown writing style, the book is set on Mars which I loved and I loved the main character was male that made a nice change. Each book has so many twist and turns and I love it.

This trilogy is EPIC!! I think my favourite book out of the trilogy has got to be Golden Son. That ending of Morning Star so many feels!!! if you liked The Hunger Games or sic fi and you like your action packed books read this trilogy!

my ratings for each book are Red Rising 4/5 Golden Son 5/5 Morning Star 5/5

Outlander book 2 Dragonfly In Amber and book 3 Voyager by Diana Gabaldon

Summary 

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5364.Dragonfly_in_Amber?from_search=true&search_version=service

My Review 

It's official I'm obsessed with Outlander. I'm so glad I decide to read this series on a whim, and I'm so glad that I did because its landed on my all time favourite list. I wanted to watch the TV show, I thought to myself read the book first and thats what I did. I read Outlander in August 2015 and like I said best decision I've ever made I fell in love with it. The world the amazing characters I love Jamie and Claire my favourite OTP ever! I was sacred going into this series because the books are huge and I thought it would be hard to read. I was so surprise that it wasn't, so easy to read and to understand the world. I LOVE Diana's writing to flows so well.

I read Dragonfly In Amber November to December 2015, I've heard mixed things about this sequel to Outlander, but I can't see why I thought it was even better than the first book! I loved the point and views in this book, The characters go through so much together and thats what makes them stronger! I love reading about them. That ending of book 2 killed me!! Im so looking forward to the second season of the tv show.

I read Voyager in December to January 2015-2016.  This was the largest book I've ever read! This book is 1,072 pages long and I loved every minute of it, not once did I get bored It just meant that I was in this world for longer and that's what I loved about it. The beginning of this book was brilliant, it was so nice to read about their daughter.  I was so emotional when Claire and Jamie reunited, I loved that the characters were older. That Ending!!

Since I LOVE the Outlander series so much Im collecting them in paperback to put on my bookshelf and they look so pretty together.

I think I'm going to put of reading book 4 Drums of Autumn to catch up with some of my YA books.

I'm obviously giving this series 5 stars.
