Before I get into the review, I want to preface when this first came out, I dnfed the book. I decided to try it again this time with an audiobook. I enjoyed it a bit more. I did find characters to be whiny still and a lot of bad judgement with a lot of finger pointing. I did like the pace of the story and the political intrigue.

First of all, I want to say I loved all the books in The Selection. It is one of my favorite series and I love Kiera Cass’ writing. However, with The Betrothed, the writing was horrible. It was flat and boring. It felt juvenile and amateurish, plus cringe worthy with how cheesy some lines were spoken by Jameson. There was really no character development with no building of the characters of what they look like, etc. I wish I would have liked this.

I started to read this as a physical book, but struggled a bit with the writing and moved to the audiobook. I loved the world building, the traveling, the lies and secrets, as well as the magic system. This was well done and a great sequel. This takes place after Furyborn and we follow our two queens who are separated by a thousand of years.

Grace’s parents died and Grace is shipped off to a boarding school in Alaska where her Uncle is the headmaster and her cousin attends. Little does Grace know she is attending a boarding school with vampires, witches, and werewolf shifters. Will danger find her? Will she find love?
Ugh, I crave more of this series! I absolutely devoured and loved it. I picked it up because it is about vampires and looks like Twilight, and I love Twilight. So, I had to read this. Is it like Twilight? No, it is its own story and differs, however there is a Twilight mention that made me so nostalgic! I loved the world building and the characters so much. I want more of this world and the characters. I can’t believe I have to wait another year for more.

I’ve read Twilight about 8 times before the movies were released. I was that obsessed. Once Breaking Dawn and the movies came out I stopped rereading them for other books, but I didn’t stop loving them. Fast forward to now, Midnight Sun has been announced to be released, so I just had to do a reread after all these years.
I was not disappointed in my reread. I still loved the book and still loved Edward. I did think the writing wasn’t the greatest. But, this was a fun reread.

Two girls switch lives so one can become a proper lady while the other can be a physician assistant. Will they get caught? However, these two girls get swept up in a rebellion.
I loved the magic system in this book and the character development of Emile and Annette. The book was really well done, but had a few slow moments and confusing parts.

I found this more enjoyable than Wicked Saints. This takes place a few months after we finish Wicked Saints. The world building was done well as well as the character development. I loved the darkness of the story. I did find parts slow and confusing at times.

I’ve been eyeing this on Kindle Unlimited for a long time and am happy I decided to finally read it. Sable is a witch and Tauren is a prince. They have one fate. The prince must marry a girl and has 13 girls come to the palace to compete for his love and to become queen. However, he invites Sable because his life in endanger. Will she be able to protect him?
I loved, loved this book and the Selection vibes it has. It was cute and fun to read and I absolutely devoured it. I did dock a star because the writing was not the greatest at times.

Lo goes on a cruise and thinks she witnesses a murder, no she believes it, but no one believes what she saw. She believes that there is a woman in cabin 10 even though the ship says it is empty. Lo must prove she isn’t insane and prove everything really did happen even if she must risk her life.
The Woman in Cabin 10 was slow at first, but picks up and is super suspenseful. I love Ruth Ware and love how she sets up her stories.

Most of the book I was confused. I was confused on who was who because both boys sounded really similar to one another. There wasn’t much character development. Then, the world building was very confusing. I didn’t understand everything in the world. The ending seemed abrupt in my opinion. I did love the magic in the book. The cover is amazing as well.
