A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Mass [ACOTAR #1]

Image
rating ❤❤❤❤ ❤ cover ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ I read the book when it first came out and didn't like it. Like at all. Recently I decided to reread it, mostly because there wasn't anything good at the library. And because the cover is stunning. :) The second time around I found myself getting totally sucked in and loving everything about it. It's addicting and fast-paced, you can't really put it down. Some so many twists and turns will make your head spin and the romance is... complicated. I will try to avoid spoilers and hope that she doesn't end up with Tamlin, cause I really don't like him. :)  Feyre's family lives in a small crowded cottage in the small village. They used to be well off, but now they barely have enough to eat. Feyre made a promise to her mom to take care of them and has ever since.  She is a huntress. Everything she knows she learned herself. She spends her day in the forest looking for a kill, so her family doesn't go hungry. Her effort is never app...

rating ❤❤❤❤ ❤ cover ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ In a country obsessed with beauty, Graces are highly valued. Blessed with a light Fae's magic, after the war, they can make elixirs with a drop of their blood, until the magic runs out. Alyce is considered a Dark Grace. She is a part Vila, a creature that is regarded as evil in Briar. She isn't strong enough to be killed, but strong enough to make potions.  When she runs into a person trapped in a tower, she uncovers her true heritage and the depths of her power.  Vila put a curse on the princesses of the Briar.

The Duke and I by Julia Quinn (Bridgertons #1)

  rating ❤ ❤ ❤❤❤ cover ❤❤❤❤❤ The summer can only really start with the Bridgertons re-read. I don't know what it is about these books that make them so addicting. They are by no means perfect, there are a lot of elements that usually turn me off from reading, but in these, I just can't help myself. :) It's one of those series, that once you start reading, you must read 'em all.  The Duke and I follows the story of Daphne, the eldest daughter of the Brigerton family, as she navigates her second season, still single, still without love, and Simon, a new Duke who returned to London after years traveling the world.  She wants nothing more than to find love and have a big family, just like the one she is from, and he is determined to let the family name die with him, just to spite his horrible father. They form an alliance, to pretend to be courting, so she will get more offers and he will be left alone. But something is brewing between them. One night of indiscretion and it...
