The Masked City (The Invisible Library #2) by Genevieve Cogman

 


"This is a place built to store books, by people who wanted to preserve books, and used by people who want to read those books. I am not alone" 

    Librarian-spy Irene is undercover in an alternative London when her assistant Kai is abducted. Having been kidnapped by the fae faction and that the repercussions could be fatal for all worlds, including the one she and her friends are currently residing in. Kai having dragon heritage means that his family is unable to get involved in finding him depending on the universe he's been brought to. If they went to retrieve Kai it would start a war between the fae and dragons, the forces of order and chaos. Irene's mission to save Kai and avoid the pending Armageddon it would take her to a new universe, an alternate Venice where Carnival is always in full swing. 

    This series is amazing and it really is one of a kind, a fun and quick read. Easily could be read in one sitting if that's what you're into. The Library and the language is a wonderful idea and I find myself selfishly wishing I had that power. The conclusion is extremely abrupt once everything was completed, leaving it a cliffhanger. When I thought there was more there was an interview with the author and a preview for the third book. Even though all the books are released now, it was still a weird shock to find out that there were so many pages left to anything but the current story.

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.       ...
