Gods & Monsters by Shelby Mahurin


Would have to be listed as my least favorite in the series!


Following the loss of one of their own, the entire group is mourning in their own way, but also searching for vengeance. Something has come over Lou, a darkness, which is getting in the way of their journey. Met with characters from previous books they must accomplish what they’ve set out to do, all while finding themselves again and their individual purposes. Hope is a recurring theme in this book. Which is perfect and the only way they’ll be able to rebuild their individual kingdoms and their family.

The synopsis for the book is very short because there would be way too many spoilers if I went any deeper in detail. When I reached the middle of the book, I immediately thought that it could have been separated into two books. That the introduction of the major event after the encounter with Morgane on the beach was such an interesting move, but it felt it could have been a cliffhanger that leads into another book. That being said, I love the continuation of the story and how it plays out from there on. It is so refreshing to see no competition between the main female characters and that they’re equally strong and yet vulnerable in their own ways. The entire group is so well rounded and a perfect family unit. I have to say, I absolutely love Beau. His doting on his new family and how far he’s come from the first book is incredible. I absolutely loved the epilogue; it was exactly what was needed to finish out this wonderful series.

Miracle Mountain (Ellie Jordan, Ghost Trapper #20) by J.L Bryan

      During the gold rush, prospectors came to Miracle Mountain in northern Georgia, looking for their fortune in the local waterways. Legend tells of a mysterious event, of a girl falling to her death from the local waterfall and miraculously coming back to life the next day. Tourists now come to this legendary location looking for a miracle of their own. Nearby is a rustic historical inn that welcomes visitors looking for their own miracle and a glimpse of the local ghost Freija. Ellie and her team are called in to help the owners get rid of the malevolent spirits that are scaring away business.      I love this entire book; I swear every time it gets scarier as the series goes on! Ellie and Jordan come to the Highwater Inn to help rid of the malevolent ghosts but are told to steer clear of the friendly welcoming ones. The owner Willow, who claims to be a spiritualist, is trying to contact the dead and even goes as far as to welcome them into the inn. Wi...

A Court of Silver Flames by Sarah J. Maas

 Absolutely, hands down, my favorite book in the series. The entire evolution of the story is incredible. Thank gosh it was broken down into three parts because this bitch wouldn't be able to handle it otherwise.      LOVE the evolution of Nesta beginning to live and love herself, despite the darkness she's caused and witnessed. That she finds her reason for being and fights to retain it and fights to be a better version of herself constantly. Nesta finding her love in music and dancing, is so beautifully  written. The house being sentient being, even capable of complex emotion and understanding, is so beautiful. It gives Nesta the nurturing, respect, and love that her mother never gave her. Which while healing is something she desperately  needs especially because her mother was so absolutely awful to her. The addition of Emerie and Gwyn are the perfect characters to add and further broaden the family in the ACOTAR universe.       ...
