Red queen by victoria aveyard
April 08
It's safe to say that this book definitely exceeded my expectations. I had previously heard from some close friends that it was very cliche and that the overall story had been done before. Although I do believe that it has some very commonly seen components, Red Queen certainly distinguishes itself as a very unique book. This book has teenage romance in a way that is not overpowering to the story and although Mare does make some exceptions because of love it never clouds her judgement of things for too long. She is a strong and confident character. She just happened to trust the wrong person.
Overall I really enjoyed Red Queen. It had just the right amount of twists and turns that I personally did not see coming at all. Victoria Aveyard does an amazing job at keeping readers alert at all times. The concept behind this silver and red world is amazing.

City of fallen angles by cassandra clare

This fourth installment of Cassandra Clare's The Mortal Instruments is to die for. So far this is hands down my favorite book in the series. The biggest reason for this is because we don't know what they are really up against until it is finally revealed as Lilith. In the previous books we knew exactly what they were up against Valentine and we knew exactly what he wanted. Here they have no clue what Lilith wants until they finally see Sebastian. I also enjoyed how the different relationships have different problems. Jace is dreaming of killing Clary, Simon is two timing Izzy and Alec is doubting his relationship with Magnus. They were all done beautifully and resolved by the end of the book.
This kept me wanting more. Like I want to know how they are going to unlink Sebastian and Jace. Are Simon and Izzy going to try dating again? so many questions.
