Illusionary (Hollow Crown #2) By Zoraida Córdova


Illusionary (Hollow Crown #2)

By Zoraida Córdova




As soon as I finished Incendiary, I began searching for the sequel in all of the local stores. It was absolutely nowhere to be found so I ended up buying it on the Kindle to read on my phone. It was one of my travel books on vacation to Disney and I absolutely devoured it before we even left on the road. Therefore, I ended up having to search quickly for another! Just the normal bookish problems.

This was the perfect companion and ending of the story in book one. There were absolutely no loose ends and honestly at the end, I just wanted more. It was a very fleshed out book and there was a point where I felt like there was absolutely no way everything could be wrapped up in 20 pages. All of the favorites are in this book or at least mentioned, with new characters who just add even more to the book. 

The story picks up with Ren and Castian having just escaped the Whispers pretending to be husband and wife while on the hunt for the Knife of Memory. The one thing that could kill the king, Castian’s father, and unite the kingdom as a whole. Between following a fable that is the whereabouts of the Knife of Memory and trying to avoid the overwhelming feelings arising between them, they become friends and confidants. The threats they encounter not only lie with the Whispers, Weapon, and the king's guards. The Gray, the stronghold of Ren’s own creation in her mind where all of her childhood memories and others stolen memories reside, is beginning to crumble. Making her not sure of what is real and what is a flashback from her previous life.

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.       ...

  "Why would teenage boys go out on a boat in a storm" Stacey wondered. "Well, now that I say it aloud, it kinda answers itself"           The team is brough to an old campground that is full of local legend. It is next to the mysterious mounds of a vanished people and once a summer camp for children before it was abruptly shut down due to mysterious deaths. The Conner family moved from the city, to create a space for children in need. They're on a deadline and the construction in the camp is stirring up the spirits of the grounds and woods. Between the deaths within the camp, Josh Conner's inability to accept the paranormal, and an old Indigenous legend of the Trailwalker, there is no shortage of possibilities. One thing remains the same though, t hese spirits are mainly targeting the Conner kids. Ellie and the team have to dig into this campground's rich history and determine what or who is threatening the family. Or else they may be forced to give u...
