I’m so disappointed in this book, I had such high hopes towards it. I thought I could learn and grow from it but I couldn’t even bring myself to finish it. I didn’t learned anything new reading this book, it felt too basic and not deep enough.

Surprising, terrifying and a mesmerizing read.

Wow, I feel like I have just woke from a fever dream. This was an incredibly surprising read with full of plot twists. I was at the edge of my seat the entire time, I was scared and I cried so hard by a heartbreaking scene. 

The Star and the Strange Moon was such a unique experience. I loved the characters, the multiple timelines were equally intriguing and fantastic. All the ideas and this whole story was fascinating, it was a true masterpiece. The ending of the book was pure perfection! I can’t get over how much I enjoyed this book, I couldn’t put it down I had the most incredible time with it and I want to experience this journey the first time again.

I highly recommend reading this incredible masterpiece, it definitely became my new favorite book! I would suggest starting the book without reading the synopsis, I haven’t read it and this way I definitely was shocked and surprised by things that is written in the synopsis.

This book was an incredible journey of self improvement and self discovery. A tale about a fallen angel who learns that it’s so much more important and beautiful what’s on the inside than on the outside. Inner beauty is the most powerful thing in the world. 

I really enjoyed reading about Natalia’s inspiring story of self improvement. I’m truly impressed by her character development because at first all she cared about was herself and her outer beauty, she thought being beautiful on the outside and being perfect was the most important thing in the universe. She wanted everyone to only love her and no one else. Reading her journey was incredible.

Since this is a first book in a new trilogy I assume very excitedly that the next two books will be about her sisters on their journey of self improvement. I’m looking forward reading those books whatever they come out!

I highly recommend reading this incredible book!

Wow what an adventurous and fun story! 
This book included history and magic in such a fun way with my favorite topic. 
Time traveling! 

Aria and Liam: The Druids’ Secret was an inspiring tale about friendship and how important is to believe that everyone is capable of self improvement and changing to the better. 

This book marked as a middle grade but it feels like it is written for younger children. 
But otherwise it was an interesting and action packed packed story that I had a great time with! I’m definitely open to check out more adventures of Aria and Liam in the future.
All I Want For Christmas Is YuYu by Arton Baleci

1.0

This book reminds me of Knock Knock the worst movie I have seen…

In the beginning I enjoyed it but as time went on this whole story seemed so pointless it felt like pure torture. This is marked as a horror but it didn’t felt like one. 

The story is about a very popular singer YuYu who’s fame is fading after twenty years but there are some hardcore fans of her, their obsession is starting to intensify with the holidays, they want some quality Yu time.

This book started out so well so I’m ever more disappointed with the second half of the book.

Unfortunately I would not recommend this book to anyone.
AnOther Mythology: Poems by Maxwell Gold

I was so lost while reading these poems. 
I don’t know much about Greek Mythology and I didn’t understand anything from this read. Also I didn’t enjoyed the prose like style the poems was written it was too complicated to understand.

Unfortunately this book wasn’t for me but I would say if you know a lot about Greek Mythology and like prose poetry then definitely give this one a read.

I can’t believe this ended on a cliffhanger! I need to know how the game continues and unfortunately I don’t own the next volume.

This was another incredibly exciting and action packed volume of Alice In Borderland. I couldn’t get enough of this series, it’s truly fantastic and addicting!

This novel was an interesting mix of Greek mythology, classical fairytale of Hades and Persephone and Sleeping Beauty. 

To be honest I have been reading this book since October, not because I was bored or not interested in the storyline, I had just so many other books that I needed to read and this somehow wasn’t my priority. Even though I should have read it sooner for a book tour. 

It’s kind of hard to gather my thoughts when I’ve been neglected this read for so long… 

I enjoyed the story though, but something was missing from it, I felt like. It had Dual POV’s which I always love in a book. I liked Aurora’s characters better than Philip’s I found his quite boring and uneventful. It was unfortunate that Hades didn’t get a character since he definitely was my favorite of this whole book. 

This is a second book in a series called Cursed Kingdom but it’s not necessarily to read book one before two. I’m pretty sure it’s following different characters and the storylines are completely different.

Beautifully written story about acceptance, self discovery and belonging. I was amazed while reading this story. I loved how realistic it was, how empowering and inspiring this book was. I literally couldn’t put this book down it was so fantastic. 

NeurodiVeRse was my second novel by the author and I cannot wait to read more by them! I loved this read very much and I wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone!

Thank you so much MJ James for providing me an ARC of this brilliant book in exchange for my honest review, I’m so grateful!
