I’ve got this book as an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
This F*CKING book/series is a dead of me!
I’d give it a 100/10 ⭐️ + 100 heartbreaks! The author, Callie, warned me that I might die while reading this one and she wasn’t kidding! I’m dead and I don’t know what to do. Let me get something straight here, I got this book today a few hours back and I finished it the same day. This book as the previous one gripped me and didn’t let go. Honestly I was kind of scared if I’ll love the second, because sometimes the first book can be amazing and then it goes downhill…but not with this one! This one was pure fire! 🔥 I loved it, I loved it and I loved it! From the moment I started reading each chapter to the end, I was all in! Gosh, you do need to read this one! I can’t wait for the third and last book in this series, because it just destroyed my life and I need a repair and desperately! Thank you Callie Rae for this amazing book series!

Okay, so I’ve read that books by Willow Winters are either you love them or hate them, I ended up just liking it.
As a clarification: I got this book as an ARC.
Now to the book.
When I started reading it I was confused. It started before the main story of the book and in two POVs (Point of Views). Telling me that something was going to happen, but never getting to it or revealing what is to come down. Then it switches to some years later (I think) and from there on you are in the main storyline.
I gotta admit that mostly what kept me to want to read this book was the need to know what is going to happen. What did Allison or Dean do that they ended up like this. Why is she acting this way? What is she hiding?
When I got to the part of revealing the Big Bang of the story, I sympathized with Allison a lot. I hated what happened and I think I would’ve turned out like her.
This story was well written, I liked it. I couldn’t honestly wait to read a book by Winters, but at the same time I was a little disappointed that this was all I got.
However because the book really represented something I think a lot of people should help to stop, I think I began to like it more.

This book was good…worth reading definitely.
But for me personally it was a book for relax. I usually read darker books, so I guess you’d get why this one was lighter to read.
However I really liked it. Honestly I didn’t know whether to put 3 or 4 ⭐️ but I’d probably give it 3 ½ ⭐️ because 3 isn’t enough.
The story was good. At the begging it was fast. One second you are here and the next you are 2 months ahead. I guess I get why the author did it, but I also wanted to see bits and pieces of their relationship at the beginning.
After the first half the story progressed and I’m happy for it. It was great that you could relate to the characters and why they did or acted the way they have. It was simple yet complicated.
This book was fast paced and light for me. But it kept me wanting to read more which I appreciate with the book the most.

Nemora (on Wattpad) https://my.w.tt/oNsgLxdqz6 Spring came first, giving life to the land. Summer came next, giving time for life to grow and thrive. Then Autumn, who gave life time to reflect and enjoy its hard work. Then came Winter, a time for life to sleep, and die, to be reborn again in the Spring. There must always be a balance, of light and dark, of what is taken and what is given. However when the scales are tipped, a change must occur to bring balance again. A thousand Cycles of the Great Seasons, since the gods retreated to their realm, a darkness has tipped the scales. Nemora is part of the change that occurred to bring the scales back into balance. She is the first human to have magic. Magic of Winter. (Still a large work in progress)

My rate is 4 stars ⭐️ The books was really good, but for me I missed something in it.
The book is about a devil HERself named Lucia, she’s God’s daughter who sinned and was sent to Hell as a punishment. Along with her there are 4 Princes of Hell, who are there to kind of help her. One day she discovers that they are up to something, so she follows them and finds out they are going to Earth, where she wanted to go for a long time. There is although one catch, for some reason as they cross the portal they can’t come back. Now they have to find out why before it’s too late.
When I started reading this book I was so excited! First of all her name is Lucia (same as mine) and second of all she doesn’t like when men are above women. Like hell yeah! But through and as I was reading I didn’t like that she kind of let the Princess boss her around. I thought that since she hates it, she won’t let that happen to her, but we’ll yeah. I was really disappointed about this point, but later in the book I can kind of see why she’s like that and that when she wants an answer, she will get it! No matter how! So that I liked after all.
My review is kind of shorter than what I’ve written before, but to be fair I honestly don’t know how to feel about the book. I really liked it and I will read the second book because it was good, but I don’t really know how to write a review for this one, which doesn’t happen often to me.
Over all summary: Lucia is stuck in hell, always wondering what it’s like to be on Earth but never really be able to know herself. Whenever a new “soul” comes to Hell she asks what new is going on up there. Because she’s stuck with 4 hell of a good looking Princes who don’t talk with her, she feels lonely. One day she finds out they are up to no good, so as a good Devil she follows them and finds them crossing a portal to Earth. After a few tries she’s finally on Earth but unluckily for her so are the Princes. Now they are stuck together on Earth with no way to go back to Hell and a very short time for Lucia to be safe. Now they have to find what happened and why. Along the way we find out they are starting to feel something for each other (Lucia and the 4 Princes). As you can guess something does happen between them. Yep, this is Reverse Harem. Even though I don’t read this kind of books, I really enjoyed this one. Especially that one scene, get me?

This review comes from (hopefully) our future author ❤️
Sarah J. Maas has done it again. She created a beautiful world, with well rounded characters and meaning full relationships. You can easily fall in love with the characters, and come to care for them deeply in just a matter of pages. Because she can do this so well, with any of her books, it makes it very easy for her to rip your heart out, repair it, shove it back into your chest, then stab you with a knife, then stitch it back up, before finally tearing it out all the way, and leaving it bleeding right in front of you as you try to make sense of what just happened. She did this in her ACOTAR series with Feyre and the challenges she faced, as well as in Tog with the heart stopping things Aelin did to the 13. Though the first part of the book was a slow build up, it had a lot of information to give to form this new world in your mind. It did feel like a little much with all of the different species, but it wasn’t too overwhelming that by the end I had most of it straight in my head. There were somthings that I felt like were predictable, but over all I was kept on the edge of my seat wondering what the aftermath would be of the actions of any character, and I definitely was surprised at the end of who the real killer was, and how it all played out. Moving on the actual characters, it was hard to not compare and draw lines between the characters of House of Earth and Blood, to both ACOTAR and TOG. The women Maas writes are always strong and independent with a touch of a fiery, fighting spirit, and the men always have a touch of dark, brooding and handsome. However, I found that Bryce and Hunt were a breath of fresh air. I found Bryce unique to the fact that she grew up with parents who loved her, and that because of growing up, wanted space from like any normal young adult. She faced challenges of being a half breed, had hopes of meeting her real father, only to realize that sometimes people only value power. Though she never let that stop her, never let the fact that she hadn’t made the Drop or was weaker then her friends, stop the love in her heart to protect them till the end. Also her ability to forgive, once she realizes the importance of keeping the people around her she loves, and who love her in return I completely enjoyed Hunt’s character. Though he does follow the same pattern as both Rowan and Rhysand, serving power hungry B****es and being forced to do things he hated, his personality and goals felt new and real. I felt like his reactions to everything that had occurred to him were true to the person Maas created. I liked that it took him a moment to realize the bit of normal that he craved. That being said, I feel like Hunt and Bryces relationship was one of the most true relationships that Maas has written. That trust came first, that friendship was important even though the sexual tension was building. They weren’t mates, though they both believe they had been waiting for each other, they only realized that after the light and happiness they unintentionally brought out of each other. I felt like it grew naturally, and really appreciated that aspect of it. The biggest negative I would have to say is that I expected more hot and steamy scene. I feel a lot of the hype was centered around this being an adult novel, and even the advertisement shows, Tempted by Desire. Sarah J Maas even says that there would be some hot scenes. While she wasn’t wrong, I was expecting something like chapter 55, or the Beach on Skulls bay, and expecting it to occur more often. For me it wasn’t a let down, and it didn’t take anything away from the book and the story its self. I am already waiting for the next book to come, for I am left staring at my head bleeding out in front of me.

Dragon Fire Academy review
At first let me tell you I didn’t want to start this book, after I received it as an ARC, because it is reverse harem which I just somehow don’t like.
After a few days and a post on FB that helped me to read this I finally decided I should.
The book starts with the main character getting ready to go to this academy. This Academy is super hard to get into and everyone assumes she got there without even trying, but the reality is different. Why do they think so? Because she is the daughter of a Queen.
After arriving at the academy they get selected into a different “groups” and it happens she gets 4 super hot and attractive mentors.
They start off with a wrong foot since they have to babysit her basically and they are super rude to her.
The months go by it gets a bit better and after they realize something dangerous about her, they’re trying to protect the island from her.
I won’t talk too much about everything that happens since you definitely should read the book!
The ending was amazing and painful, but I really loved it! It makes me want to read the second one.
My overall thoughts are: the book is just truly IT! The reverse harem got it a bit at the beginning but now I would even want to be her!!! The main characters are amazing and gosh I would love to have them for myself…who wouldn’t?

A Court of Mist and Fury/A court of Wings and Ruin review
Hiya,
I know I was supposed to make this review a long time ago, but I honestly didn’t feel like it.
As you may have guessed from the title I already read the 2nd and 3rd book. I wasn’t giving them a lot, because I really hate the 1st book!
After a few chapters into ACOMAF (A Court of Mist and Fury) the book was attaching itself to me and also the main characters became more and more bearable.
At first I didn’t like Rhysand, but MAJOR TWIST he turns out to be the good guy (well bad guy, but you get me!)
Also Feyre is more herself and becomes more of a women than she was before…she still doesn’t let anyone do her wrong but finally she stands up a bit.
Tamlin?! I think that is a chapter for itself! I loved it at first but then after reading these two books? How could I love him? He didn’t care about Feyre and he just wanted her because of what/who she was. He treated her like a dog!
I’m gonna leave this here and hopefully you’ll agree with me, if not I’m all ears! :)
Also as you could read I didn’t want to spoil too much, which hopefully I didn’t do, but I also put the MAJOR TWIST into CAPITAL and Bold lettering so that must’ve helped if something.
I haven’t read the last book yet (A Court of Frost and Starlight) because I don’t want the story to end yet for me, but I will soon.
I hope you liked my review and thoughts, don’t hate please and KEEP ON READING! ♥

First honest review of a book!
 Hi everyone,                [  !!!CONTAINS SPOILERS!!!  ]
I’ve never been really good in writing, but I’ll try my best.
My first review is going to be a comparison actually, I will compare Throne of Glass (ToG) and A Court of Thorns and Roses (ACoTaR) both by Sarah Janet Maas.
Both of these books are fantasy novels and come from a thought of recreating let’s say Disney movies into “What ifs”.
ToG comes from a Cinderella and ACoTar from Beauty and the Beast.
I don’t really want to compare them as a wanna be’s of these tales, but as only a books that I’ve read and heard a lot of talking and arguing about.
Let’s start!
First what I wanna write is that in both books the main character is a girl.
In ToG, there’s Celaena Sardothien (fearless, skilled assassin, gets easily in trouble, a lot of self-love, rude, arrogant etc.) and in ACoTaR there’s Feyre Archeron (stubborn, keeps promises, good liar, seductive, charming, cunning and hateful etc.).
Now I really wanna write the review, as many of you might have already read the books, you will know what I’m talking about. I don’t wanna beat around the bush, so I’m gonna go straight to what I liked and didn’t like.
Firstly I read Assassin’s Blade (a book before ToG) and for me it was harder to get into the character or to really read the book. So I put the book down for like 2-3 days, until I decide that I really want to give it a try. I finishes AB in 2 days and the first half of the book I didn’t really like, because I just couldn’t get into her (Celaena), but then after the first half I really loved the book. I loved the becoming friendship with Sam, how she didn’t want to let the slaves die and stoop against Arobbyn Hamel. – 
In ToG our Celaena is a slave in the salt mines for over a year (since Arobbyn betrayed her), when the Crown Prince Dorian puts her in front of him for a last chance of redemption by fighting as his champion for a life or death against 24 champions. If she wins, she will be free. But you know the whole story already so…
In ToG I liked that Celaena is not a vulnerable little girl or someone who obeys every command she gets. She’s independent in her on way, really dangerous but passionate at the same time. 
Since the book is in 3rd person, I wasn’t really able to “connect or become her” as much as when I read books in 1st person. I think a lot of us really want to escape and become the character in the book in some ways.
Overall I liked the story, characters, development plot. I didn’t like the slow start, when in the begging there was not much happening (that’s if I include AB too!). After that I couldn’t put the book down and am ready for 2nd book!
In ACoTaR we have Feyre, who killed a wolf - faerie - in the forest, whom she hates, because she needed to provide a food for her family (a promise she gave to her mother). A day after killing the wolf, later the day, she has a dinner with her family, when a beast with a bear-body and a wolf head storms into their little cottage asking who killed the wolf. Feyre takes the responsibility, as she did it. After she asked what is the price, the beast answered “a life for a life”. But instead of killing her, he takes her with him to Prythian. And the rest you know…
In ACoTaR Feyre is vulnerable, not really strong when it comes to mentality, but she knows that and that is what makes her stronger in her way!
Since this book IS in 1st person, it was easier for me to “be or connect” to Feyre, which I really loved, but also could be a really huge fact why I hated that part with using. 
Overall I really liked the story plot, also the characters, but I really despised the fact, that Feyre was being used later on, or manipulated into doing something she didn’t want.
In comparison of these two books, I would say that they are opposites of each other as you may already know. In ToG I loved the character and in ACoTaR I loved the story.
As I only read first books of both series these are my thoughs for now. However I will read the rest of them, just because I enjoyed certain things.
I really want to know you thoughts if you’d like to share them and who knows? Maybe in a few weeks I will come back and write a full review on both of them :)
I hope you liked my review and thoughts, don’t hate please and KEEP ON READING! ♥
