"Those who never risk are doomed never to risk." . To Best The Boys was simply an entertaining read filled with adventure, quests, feminism, and a dash of romance. It was my second Mary Weber novel and I really enjoyed it. To be honest, I enjoyed it more than the first book I’ve read by her. It has a decent plot with interesting concept and enjoyable main characters. The world building was nice. The setting was a bit similar to early 19th century victorian era when women aren't allowed to education. They're meant to be a good wife to their husband and take care of their babies. I liked the main protagonist Rhen. I was rooting for her from the start. I loved the labyrinth setting and the light magical aspect in it. It was a nice twist to the story. Overall, it was a good stand-alone read! It’s not something that’ll blow your mind away but I really had fun reading it and I’ll look forward to the author’s next work. .

Power, romance, and destiny collide in this sweeping reimagining of Victor Hugo’s masterpiece, Les Misérables. . Sky Without Stars is the first installment in a new YA sci-fi series System Divine. I’ve read neither Jessica Brody’s nor Joanne Rendell’s books so I’ve no idea what to expect from these two authors. I’m not familiar with the Victor Hugo’s Les Miserables but I wanted to give this a shot because I’ve heard great things about this book, and add to that it has an intriguing synopsis so I couldn't resist myself from picking it up. Well this was mostly a four star read for me because of Chantine and the world building, but after reading the original story, I’ve decided to give it a 3.5 stars. It has three main characters but I only loved one of them because the other two seemed dull. The Plot was interesting but nothing extreme happens until the second half. So it was kinda a slow ride. I enjoyed Chantine's character more than Marcellus and Alouette. She's pretty tough and morally gray character. I can't help rooting for her from the start. After finishing the book, I came to know that she ain't going to have a happy ending which really left me sad and angry because she definitely deserves more than that. I hope the authors gives her an alternative ending. Overall, it was a good read but It wasn’t perfect. I enjoyed this book solely because of Chantine’s character otherwise I would’ve given this a three star. . Do I Recommend It? YES . Despite issues, I enjoyed reading this book and I would recommend everyone to give it a shot. .

“Most of us can hide our greatest hurts and longings. It’s how we survive each day. We pretend the pain isn’t there, that we are made of scars instead of wounds.” . King Of Scars is one of my most anticipated books of 2019. I’ve been waiting for this book since forever. I’m a huge fan of Grisha Trilogy and I was very much looking forward to Nikolai Lantsov’s story since I’ve first heard about it. He’s my second favorite Character besides Darkling and Alina so I had very high expectations for King Of Scars. So did it meet my full expectations, honestly no but I still had fun reading this book and loved the shocking twist at the end. It’s so good to be back in the world of Ravka after three years. If you haven’t read Shadow and bone trilogy, and Six Of Crows then you need to get to them first before jumping into this book because it contains major spoilers for those two series.The plot was great but I wasn’t expecting this to be a slow ride. I found the first half pretty slow especially Nina’s chapters. I enjoyed Nikolav and Zoya’s chapters more than Nina’s even though she played a major role in this book. I can’t wait to see her back in Ravka joining Nikolai and Zoya. The writing, and the setting was amazing. . Overall, It was a great read! Although I’m not fully satisfied with some aspects, I wasn’t really disappointed and I’m super excited for the next book. .

Smoke And Key is a stand-alone novel written by Kelsey Sutton. It was a very unique read set in historical time period. The concept of the book was very dark and intriguing. I loved the mystery aspect in this book, but as for the romance part I’ve mixed feelings about it because I'm not fan of insta-love. Other than that, this was an engaging read and I really enjoyed it. It was actually my first book by the author and it definitely won’t be my last. . Recommend it? YES If you’re looking for a good YA historical fantasy read with mystery aspect then definitely give it a shot. . My Rating: 🌟🌟🌟.5 stars!

“Power is much easier to acquire than it is to hold on to.” . . The Wicked King was an entertaining and a clever sequel to The Cruel Prince. This was actually 3.5 stars read for the most part but the last chapter blew my mind away. It was definitely the best part in the whole book. So, I finally decided to give it a four. I’m not saying it was a bad sequel. The story had kept me engaged till the end but I was kinda expecting a bit more from this book and why the heck it was so short? I wish it was a bit longer because some things felt rushed in the end. The cliffy ending had left me wanting for more. I’m super excited for the next book. .

“I want you because you’re kind, generous, and playful. I want you because when it snows, you say the stars are falling. Because you choose joy over bitterness. I want you because you choose to believe in things you can’t see. Because you choose to dream.” . The foolish kingdoms is one of my favorite NA fantasy series. It’s a unique fantasy romance series which deals with friendship, love, family, and mental disabilities. Dream is the final installment in this series. It’s a love story between a Songbird and a Potioneer. I have been waiting for Niku and Lyrik’s story since I have finished Lie. I quite enjoyed the forbidden relationship between Nicu and Lyrik. They’re total opposites but perfect for each other. I loved the Cameo appearances of Poet, Briar, Flare, Jerin, Aspen, and Aire. They’re all main characters in previous installments but in this book they’re supporting characters. Overall, it was a great conclusion to the series. Although I enjoyed all the books in this series, my favorite will always be trick. This book can be read as a standalone but I strongly suggest you guys to check out the other books in this series too. .
