There is so much hype surrounding The Cruel Prince that I knew I needed to try it. But I don’t think I’ve ever been more conflicted about a book in my life! I honestly have so many questions running around in my head, and it’s crazy!
A Study in Charlotte by Brittany Cavallaro
I’ve always enjoyed mysteries – especially ones that relate to Sherlock Holmes. I had really high hopes for this modern retelling, but it just fell really flat. A Study in Charlotte is a gender-swapped, modern retelling of Sherlock Holmes. It follows Charlotte Holmes, the great-great-great granddaughter of the famous detective. She teams up with fellow student, Jamie Watson to help solve a mysterious murder.
Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli
In January, the HCC Frenzy team invited me to an advance screening of Love, Simon. Obviously, I jumped on the opportunity! Since I hadn’t read the book yet, I made sure to read it before seeing the movie! Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda follows Simon, a gay teenager who isn’t so open about it. While exchanging e-mails with a boy named Blue, another student discovers it. This ultimately results in blackmailing.
A Court of Wings and Ruin by Sarah J. Maas
When I started this series, I didn’t know I was about to take a wild ride. I also didn’t know they would become some of my favourite books ever. The A Court of Thorns and Roses series follows Feyre who kills a wolf in the woods. After that, she’s taken to the land of faeries to atone for it. It’s an epic high-fantasy series that’s totally worth the hype!
A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas
After reading A Court of Thorns and Roses, I knew I would really enjoy the sequel. But I didn’t think I would love it this much. A Court of Mist and Fury is probably one of the best books I’ve ever read. A Court of Mist and Fury picks up after the events of the first book. The series follows Feyre as she’s taken to the land of faeries after killing a wolf.
A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas
After reading Throne of Glass recently, I didn’t think Sarah J Maas’ books could get any better. But wow, was I ever wrong! I’m officially a Sarah J Maas convert. A Court of Thorns and Roses follows Feyre, who kills a wolf in the woods and is taken captive because of it. Her time in the land of faeries is both scary and exhilarating. The story is a retelling of Beauty and the Beast.
