Grim Lovelies by Megan Shepherd Review

★★

I'm not sure what I was expecting to get from this book, and I had low expectations, but it ended up being underwhelming.

Too much happened too fast in the end of this book, it seemed like the author was trying to tie up everything before the book got to 400 pages.

The characters in this book honestly annoyed me so much and basically had no actual emotions or feeling. I had no interest whatsoever for the characters and what happened to them. It seemed like the author was trying to get every single minority for a character into this book, which I don't mind, if it's done well.

It was hard for me to picture the characters and the scenes in this book. It felt like it wasn't painting a vivid picture of what was going on.

Goblins.......also annoyed me, they didn't really add much to the book except that they were helping and them they were gone?

The Paris setting was one of the few things I did love about this book. Especially when Anouk was looking out at the Eiffel Tower.

I don't know whether or not I'll read the sequel, I'm still really conflicted on how I felt about this book overall. I

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...

The Cruel Prince by Holly Black Review

The Cruel Prince by Holly Black ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ “This is what you wanted, isn’t it?” he asks. “What you sacrificed everything for. Go on. It’s all yours." Jude and her sisters live in the Court of Faerie, only they're outsiders, known as mortals to the rest of the Court. Jude wants nothing more then to belong, but many of the fey despise humans. As Jude becomes more deeply embroiled in palace intrigues and deceptions, she discovers her own capacity for trickery and bloodshed. But as betrayal threatens to drown the Courts of Faerie in violence, Jude will need to risk her life in a dangerous alliance to save her sisters, and Faerie itself. I started reading this book last month and stopped because I just wasn't feeling it, but I'm SO glad I picked it up again! The Cruel Prince's plot is a slow-going at first, but once it does pick up, it's definitely worth the wait. The world is extremely well built along with a fair amount of spying, along with roya...
