Kiss of Deception

Kiss of Deception
By:  


Summery:

A princess must find her place in a reborn world.

She flees on her wedding day.

She steals ancient documents from the Chancellor's secret collection.

She is pursued by bounty hunters sent by her own father.

She is Princess Lia, seventeen, First Daughter of the House of Morrighan.

The Kingdom of Morrighan is steeped in tradition and the stories of a bygone world, but some traditions Lia can't abide. Like having to marry someone she's never met to secure a political alliance.

Fed up and ready for a new life, Lia flees to a distant village on the morning of her wedding. She settles in among the common folk, intrigued when two mysterious and handsome strangers arrive—and unaware that one is the jilted prince and the other an assassin sent to kill her. Deceptions swirl and Lia finds herself on the brink of unlocking perilous secrets—secrets that may unravel her world—even as she feels herself falling in love.


What I Thought: 

I thought this book was filled with deception, action, and adventure. I would recommend this book to any YA book reader out there. If you like a slow building romance with tons of adventure and mystery.

Frankenstein

Frankenstein
By: Mary Shelley


Summery:

"Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus, is a novel written by English author Mary Shelley about the young student of science Victor Frankenstein, who creates a grotesque but sentient creature in an unorthodox scientific experiment." - Wikipedia 

What I Thought:

The novel was a great classic to read, especially if you want a suspenseful and historic feel to a tragic yet eventful story. It all began in Genevese, where Victor Frankenstein was born and the story later evolved into a misconception of science. This eventually leads to the monster's birth and Victor's horror to what he had created. The story takes off from there into many tragic deaths and plots for revenge.

A Court of Thorns and Roses



A Court of Thorns and Roses
By: Sarah J. Mass



























Summery: 


When nineteen-year-old huntress Feyre kills a wolf in the woods, a beast-like creature arrives to demand retribution for it. Dragged to a treacherous magical land she only knows about from legends, Feyre discovers that her captor is not an animal, but Tamlin—one of the lethal, immortal faeries who once ruled their world.

As she dwells on his estate, her feelings for Tamlin transform from icy hostility into a fiery passion that burns through every lie and warning she's been told about the beautiful, dangerous world of the Fae. But an ancient, wicked shadow grows over the faerie lands, and Feyre must find a way to stop it . . . or doom Tamlin—and his world—forever.


What I thought:


This book was amazing! I couldn't put it down and by the time I finished it was around 1 o'clock in the morning and I started it around 9am. The characters were flawed in their own little ways, which helped them develop over time, causing, me myself, to become attached to them. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who loves action, fantasy, romance, adventure, magic, and much more.

Voyagers

Voyagers
By: K.L. Nappier






















This book is for people who love ghosts, romance, and mystery type of books. K.L. Nappier's book Voyagers is a book full of mystery and suspense at every turn and you would want to add this book to, to-read, as soon as possible. Nappier always has a way with words and makes the book exciting at every turn wanting you to stay up tell late at night trying to finish it.

It all starts with Greta Roscoe and Reverend Aaron Shane who would have to deal with the situation that they were murdered and that they have to find their murders, without help at all. The book takes off from there with them both trying to solve the mystery themselves.

Sky Ghosts

Sky Ghosts
By: Alexandra Engellmann


























I received a copy of this book from the author for an honest review.


I personally liked this book very much. It was action packed and it had a very interesting plot line that caught my attention from the very beginning.

Short summary:

Jane and Pain are two sisters who grew up to be sky ghosts or warriors for the "good side", but soon their lives change when they are forced to help guard two friends who encountered Beasts or people from the "bad side". They don't have a clue why they are so important to catch the eyes of the Beasts, but they know that no matter what, they have to protect them.

What I thought:

Overall I liked this book becuase of the interesting plot line and how the characters' personalities developed throughout the book. I rated it 4 stars becuase it was a little hard to get into the book in the beginning, but as the story went on I realized that I couldn't put the book down and ended up reading until 3am. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants a good action packed book with a intricate plot line and a slow building romance all wrapped up into one.

The Assassin's Curse




Ananna of the Tanarau abandons ship when her parents try to marry her off to an allying pirate clan. But that only prompts the scorned clan to send an assassin after her. And when Ananna faces him down one night, armed with magic she doesn’t really know how to use, she accidentally activates a curse binding them together.

To break the curse, Ananna and the assassin must complete three impossible tasks—all while grappling with evil wizards, floating islands, haughty manticores, runaway nobility, strange magic, and the growing romantic tension between them.


The Assassin's Curse is a great read for anyone looking for adventure and a hint of romance involving pirates, assassins, and mystical creatures. It is one of the best books I have ever read.

Wonder




I won't describe what I look like. Whatever you're thinking, it's probably worse. 

August Pullman was born with a facial deformity that, up until now, has prevented him from going to a mainstream school. Starting 5th grade at Beecher Prep, he wants nothing more than to be treated as an ordinary kid—but his new classmates can’t get past Auggie’s extraordinary face.WONDER, now a #1 New York Timesbestseller and included on the Texas Bluebonnet Award master list, begins from Auggie’s point of view, but soon switches to include his classmates, his sister, her boyfriend, and others. These perspectives converge in a portrait of one community’s struggle with empathy, compassion, and acceptance. 


Wonder was a heart warming story, filled with joy, tragedy, hope, friends, and family. It is a book for all ages and is very inspiring to the heart and soul.
