The Beholder is Anna Bright’s debut YA fantasy novel. This wasn’t really one of my anticipated books but I wanted to give it a shot because I’ve been hearing pretty good things about it. Well, I think this one’s a decent YA fantasy novel with a unique twist but I wouldn’t say it was flawless. First of all, I had two issues with this book, the first one was the world building, and the second one was the protagonist itself. The plot was entertaining. The whole story is about Selah’s journey to find a suitor to marry by travelling to different countries. Some of the readers said that it was a little bit similar to the selection series which I’ve never read but overall it was a good read. I found the secondary characters more interesting than the main character. The world building was a bit confusing. It’s an alternate universe of our historical world incorporated with Norse and fairytale world. The whole idea may sound interesting but it didn’t work out for me in this book. Despite all these issues, I enjoyed reading this book. It’s a fun read filled with adventure, friendship, romance, and intrigue. It isn’t my favorite, but I’m definitely looking forward to the next book in the series. . My Rating: 🌟🌟🌟.5 stars!

This book was pretty much hyped these days and here comes my unpopular opinion, I didn’t love it. Although I liked the characters, I didn’t enjoy the book as much as I thought I would. To be honest, for the most part I was pretty bored with the political aspect which was my first issue. Coming to the romance aspect, I was slightly disappointed that it wasn’t really a hate to love romance. And my third issue was the third person pov. There’s nothing wrong with the storyline but I think it wasn’t for me because I expected this book to be more like The Gentlemen’s Guide To Vice And Virtue. There’s some fun banters and great friendships but the political drama bored me. The pace was slow. The third person POV made things worse for me because I always prefer first person POV when it comes to contemporary books. The writing was good though. Overall, it was an okay-ish read for me! Although it didn’t work out for me, I can pretty much see why there’s so much hype surrounding it. Recommend it? YES I would recommend it if you’re into NA Contemporary romance filled with political intrigue, friendship, and family relationships.

Don't Date Rosa Santos is Nina Moreno's debut YA novel. I honestly thought it would be another fluffy YA romance, but it was definitely not what I had expected. It’s an emotional roller-coaster ride. It’s a journey of a girl who overcomes her family curse and creates her own path. There is a light romance, but it wasn’t really the central focus of the story. This book was all about family relationships and things get a bit dark in the end. It is a perfect summer contemporary read if you’re looking for something that is both light and dark. I recommend this book if you’re looking for a refreshing and a diverse YA standalone read that deals with grief, family secrets, and lots of cuban culture. . My Rating: 🌟🌟🌟.5 stars!

“Touching this boy would be the death, and life, of her.” . . After finishing Natalia Jaster’s The Foolish Kingdoms series, I wanted to give this series a shot because I really liked the premise and that cover looks so pretty. Touch is the first installment in the Selfish Myth’s series. It’s a unique retelling of Cupid and Psyche myth set in a modern world. So far I’ve read three retellings and this was my fourth one and I quite enjoyed it. Although I didn’t love it as much as Trick(first book in the foolish Kingdoms), I had a great time reading this book. I really liked the main characters, the lyrical writing, the plot, and the wintry setting. I can’t wait to read Anger’s story because I love broody heroes. . My Rating: 🌟🌟🌟.5 stars!

“One choice doesn’t determine your whole future.” . Brigid Kemmerer is one of my favorite YA authors. I absolutely loved her Letters to the Lost duology and also her YA fantasy A curse So Dark And Lonely. Call It Want You Want was her latest YA contemporary book and once again she didn’t disappoint me. It’s a heartwarming story between two struggling teenagers who’re having family issues. I enjoyed both the main characters, the romance, and the moral of the story. The plot was well written! It’s a thought provoking story that focuses on whether it is okay to do something wrong for the right reasons? It’s an emotional and dark story. If you’re looking for something fluffy then this is not for you. Overall, I loved this book! It was a great stand-alone YA contemporary read filled with family drama, friendship, and romance. I can’t wait to read the author’s next emotional read. . My Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟.5 stars!

"One thousand years ago, a wish was made to the Harbinger of Change and a sword of rage and lightning was forged.Kamigoroshi. The Godslayer. It had one task: to seal away the powerful demon Hakaimono. Now he has broken free." . Soul of the Sword is the second installment in the Shadow of The Fox trilogy. I loved the first book in this series and I’ve been eagerly looking forward to this sequel and I wasn’t disappointed. It was really a good sequel but I wouldn’t say it was as amazing as the first one because of the lack of one of the prominent characters in the series. Nonetheless, I really enjoyed the entire journey and Yumeko’s quest to free Tatsumi. The major highlight of this book was the Hakaimono, the demon lord who thirsts for revenge on the entire Kage Clan. The actions scenes are well executed. Loved the blood, and the gore. It was very animatic! I predicted some of the major plot twists in the first book but this one really surprised me. The ending was totally unpredictable. I can’t wait to know what the author has in store for us next. .
