 I usually love fairy-tale retelling, well fairy-tales in general. And... I have to say, this one didn't convince me. 

 So this is a story of Brie, who has a special talent, she can spin gold. Because of that talent, she is often used, making her fell like a bank, by her boyfriend and parents. When strange people come after her, she is saved by Stilt and they escape together to the Fable, that is like realm of magic, where fairy-tales live. 

 I have to say, that the plot is interesting. It's about not really mainstream story, and I love that. My trouble was, that I wasn't pulled in to story, I didn't find it gripping enough.

 I still like it, just not love it.

 Happy reading!

Heroes are finally all together. They didn't have the best start, the peace with the Roman camp they were hoping for is long gone and they are planning on going after them.  They are on a ship, made by Leo, trying to come to the ancient land, but of course, it never goes smoothly for the heroes. Annabeth has a quest of her own to complete, she has to follow the Mark of Athena and find the statue that was lost for centuries. She is hoping that it will help bring peace between the camps, but the mission is not easy.  It's my favourite in the series so far- Percy and Annabeth are finally back together. :) And that cliffhanger at the end, omg! rating ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ cover  ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ Goodreads || Amazon happy reading, anie

This one is a bit different but in a good way. Charlie wants to say I Love You to Nick, but can't seem to find a good moment. Meanwhile, his mental health keeps getting worse, to the point that he needs more help than he can get at home.  Nick is consumed with worry. He worries about coming out to his dad, but mostly he worries about Charlie.  He sees him getting worse and worse, to the point that he doesn't spend much time at school.  They both have to come to terms that they can't be everything for each other and find a balance between love and everything else.  rating❤❤❤ ❤ ❤ cover ❤❤❤❤❤ artwork❤❤❤❤❤ Goodreads || Amazon happy reading, anie
