Wildcard by Marie Lu Review

★★★

This book was one of my most anticipated reads for the second half of 2018, and it had a slow start for about the first 150 pages, but after that everything picked up. I enjoyed the second half, with was filled with plot twists, action and Emika with Hideo.

The plot twists in this book were written extremely well and Marie Lu did an amazing job of not letting you anywhere was going to happen next until it already has.

I have to admit, I had forgotten some of the characters names and who they were, which made the book confusing with the Phoenix Riders and the new people we were introduced to. When were introduced to everyone in the Blackcoats, it was a lot too take in, a little bit too much. It would've made more sense reading this book immediately after reading Warcross, and would've kept me more interested in the story.

Sasuke and the flashbacks were a crucial part to actually having feelings for this character we just met. I thought the flashbacks were heartbreaking and really put emotion in 'Zero'.

Finding out Zero was not really a person was a punch to the gut for me, and I kept hoping it wasn't true and that Jax was just trying to toy with Emika's mind.

One problem was when Tremaine was supposedly 'killed', somehow I knew he wasn't dead. I guess since he was 'killed' off to fast as soon as you got to know him as a character.

Overall, I enjoyed this sequel, I think I would've enjoyed it more if there hadn't been so much time in between reading Warcross and Wildcard.

Books I've Judged by Their Covers

Charlotte Holmes Series by Brittany Cavallaro This series was on display at my library and I picked up the first book, not only is the cover beautiful but the books are intriguing, have interesting characters and mysteries. .................................................................................................................................................... The Sun is Also a Star and Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon These books are gorgeous and as soon as I finished reading them, I immediately wanted copies for myself, if even only to display. I loved both books, they were such interesting takes on contemporary. .................................................................................................................................................... To Kill a Kingdom by Alexandra Christo This cover is to die for, the color of the background is gorgeous. I really enjoyed the book, I didn't know, but it was a modern retell...

Now Entering Addamsville by Francesca Zappia ARC Review

Now Entering Addamville by Francesca Zappia ★★ ★ Zora Novak has been framed. When someone burns down the home of the school janitor and he dies in the blaze, everyone in Addamsville, Indiana, points a finger at Zora. Never mind that Zora has been on the straight and narrow since her father was thrown in jail. With everyone looking for evidence against her, her only choice is to uncover the identity of the real killer. There’s one big problem—Zora has no leads. No one does. Addamsville has a history of tragedy, and thirty years ago a similar string of fires left several townspeople dead. The arsonist was never caught. Now, Zora must team up with her cousin Artemis—an annoying self-proclaimed Addamsville historian—to clear her name. But with a popular ghost-hunting television show riling up the townspeople, almost no support from her family and friends, and rumors spinning out of control, things aren’t looking good. Zora will have to read between the lines of Addamsville’s...
