This Savage Song by Victoria Schwab

-
slow at the start, but ends with a bang

 I shouldn't be surprised that I loved it so much. So far, every book I’ve read by the author- I loved. It’s soo good. :)

 Long-time ago, something happened, the incident. And ever since then monsters came. In the city of Verity, where the story is set, there are two leaders. Harker governs the north part. He keeps the appearance of peace, in exchange for money. Keeping the monsters Malchai and Corsai somehow in check. In the south part, Flynn's part, there is no illusion. Evidence of broken city are everywhere and Flynn and his family work very hard to keep it save. His three “kids” are Sunai. The third type of monster that appeared.
Sunai, Sunai, eyes like coal,

Sing you a song and steal your soul.
They can feed on the souls of bad people until they turn dark. 

 The story follows Kate and August.

 August is one of Sunai. He is sent to the school on the north side, to get close to Kate in case the truce gets broken.

 After burning down the chapel of her last school, she is finally coming home, to live with her father - Harker and prove herself to him. Going to the same school as August, their paths cross.

 Instead of staying away, they start to hang out. I love the dynamic of two of them. They somehow work so well together. 

 My favorite thing about the story was Kate, she is the definition of bad-ass.

 It starts out slow, with a lot of worldbuilding and setting the story. For the first courter, the pace is slow. As the story progresses, so does the pace. Steadily the tension rises, till the last courter of the story. Nonstop action, fast pace, lots going on. I couldn’t blink in fear of missing anything. And the ending is just beautiful.

Cat Jones is happy with her sheltered quiet life until her mom's crazy friends challenge her to say yes to everything for a month. Her first response is definitely no, but somehow she is convinced to give it a try. The first thing she says yes to is a nightly swim in the cold sea with a group of colourful characters. Next is to host a very popular daily show along the TV royalty, offered by a hot TV executive. She not only changes her life, one yes at a time but also inspires her two best friends to go along with her. I love this book! I was sucked into the story from the very start and had to read it in one swoop.  It tells the story of how saying yes to life, can change it fundamentally. Cat goes through huge personal growth, finding new friendships, transforming old ones, and new jobs and meets all kinds of people along the way, along with a TV executive who makes her heart flutter.  The story is funny, inspirational with lots of friendships of all varieties and a little bit of

Penny is a teacher at an elementary school. Her mother is spending a few months with her aunt and she is looking for a summer job. She gets a job as a secretary for a gaming company, while her friend is on maternity leave. What she didn't expect is for her boss to be so rude, or so hot. And before she knows it, she is on his private plane and he is asking her to pretend to be engaged to him for a week. Jace is the owner of a gaming company. He is insanely busy, always working. He hasn't been to a family reunion in years. So this year he hired someone to pretend to be his fiance, to get his family off his back. When she cancels last minute, he asks his new assistant to fill the role.  It was hard to pretend at first, but all too soon it all starts to feel very real. They fall hard for each other. It's steamy, and romantic, with a touch of instant love, family time and a whole lot of fun. :) I listened to the story, the narrator was awesome. :)  rating❤❤❤❤ ❤ cover❤❤❤ ❤ ❤ book
