Steel Scars by Victoria Aveyard

This back story has more to do with the scarlet guard. I didn't find it as interesting and almost kinda boring and tedious. It doesn't reflect my feelings towards the series as a whole. I absolutely love this series and I'm anxious for the next installment.

The Choices We Make by Karma Brown

This book was heart warming.. the love and loyalty between two best friends.. the choices... the events.. and the turn to heartbreaking events and such a sad and unfortunate situation.. I'm still in a bit of an awe over it. Incredible book.

The Killing Dance by Laurell K. Hamilton (contains minor spoilers)

I have found myself really enjoying this series. This one was very intriguing.
I'm not crazy about Anita and Richard's relationship and I hope that it kinda ended. The intimacy  between her and Jean Claude..and even the triangle whatever with Richard in it was pretty intense. Had a fair amount of action in it as well. The person who had put the hit on her was actually one I suspected by gut but of course the author made it sound like it was probably someone else until the big surprise reveal lol.
It was a good read and I plan to continue further with the series.

Sinful Cinderella by Anita Valle (contains spoilers)

I was a little bit unsure of this book. Related to not liking stepmother but the level was a little more extreme then my own. But it was understandabl. .
The plot twist with the prince was really shocking, and not expecting him to be abusive. I was hoping the outcome of the wager she held with Godnutter was going to turn our her favor until then but it didn't. I think the secrets and deception were interestingly tied in at the end as well as the stabbing of stepmother. I was not expecting that either..

I would go 3.5 stars..
It was better then I expected but I wasn't expecting much.
I like the author though..

Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia

This book is the first in a series of four books. It was definitely interesting enough to keep wanting to read it, and the ending was not what I had expected. However, I have not decided of I am going to continue on with the other books as of yet.

Queen Song by Victoria Aveyard

This back story is okay and really not sure how necessary it is. I don't really feel like I learned anything new and interesting from this book..
Eager for the next book to come out next year.

The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah

This book was amazing. I loved it and it had me hooked and on the emotional Rollercoaster from the get go. I was a little shocked to find myself finishing it in 3 and a half days time. It's been awhile since I was able to finish a book so fast.

There was a few times I hadto put it down because it really struck the feels.
