Bookstagram:

No Quarter by Helen Jones (book 2 in The Ambeth Chronicles) was an exciting sequel full of passion, beauty, forbidden romance, and secrecy. I loved how I was thrown back in to the world and felt like I never missed a beat. I was quickly reminded of important events from Oak and Mist and never felt like I forgot anything. 📖 Since most of the world building had been done in book 1, this one seemed to focus more on the story, and the romance. It was sweet and interesting, and though it played out very typically like a YA fantasy/romance, it was still quite captivating. I honestly was able to predict pretty much everything in the story, but I still couldn’t put it down. I finished it in one sitting. 📖 What I enjoyed the most was the flow of the story and the beauty in the writing. It was still very unique and vivid and I just lost myself in the story. I enjoyed Deryck’s character development and change, and I also enjoyed the progression of the story continuing from book 1. 📖 What I didn’t enjoy was Alma’s character progression, or rather, lack thereof. She didn’t stand out for me in this one like she did in book 1. She felt more whiny and weak and I wished for her to grow up a little more. 📖 Despite not really connecting with Alma, I was still invested in her, and the rest of the main characters. I was still rooting for her to find herself and find the regalia for the Light. I still felt emotion during the major plot twists of the story. And I was still surprised and saddened by a particular plot twist at the end! 📖 I enjoyed returning to Ambeth in No Quarter. It kept its richness and uniqueness, and I loved the little details that were revealed that added more mystery to the world and story. It was a quick, easy read that made me feel like I was reading a faerie tale, and I cannot wait to see what happens in the next book! 📖 #bookaddict #booklover #booknerd #bookdragon #bookstagram #bookblogger #yabooks #bookstagrammers #bookstagramfriends #bookishtags #bookworm #bibliophile #ireadya #booksofinstagram #readersofinstagram #alwaysreading #bookaholic #books #fiction #fantasy #NoQuarter #theambethchronicles #helenjones

The Gilded King by @josiejaffrey is a story shrouded in mystery and lore. Touched with darkness, and thriving with excitement, it will draw you in and grip you until the end. For those looking for a vampire story with unique attributes, look no further. 📖 This one was definitely a unique, interesting read. I really enjoyed the take on vampires, and the addition of a new virus that not only affected vampires, but humans. It was all very intriguing and really kept me reading. 📖 There were several moments in the story that left me confused, though. I would have liked a touch more explanation to the world, and it’s happenings. Despite this, there was something magnetic about the story, and it’s characters, that kept pulling me back in. 📖 I liked the interaction between Julia and Lucas. It reminded me a little of Beauty and the Beast. I also really loved Cam and his strength and drive. 📖 There were a lot of predictable moments, but there was plenty of action and unpredictability that kept the story going. The fairytale-esque style history of the world really grabbed my attention, and the thrill of the story kept its pace until the very end. Even though I wasn’t always clear about what was going on in the world, the excitement of the plot, and the strong characters really kept me drawn in. I’d rate it 3.5 stars and would definitely say it was worth a read! 📖 #bookaddict #booklover #booknerd #bookdragon #bookstagram #bookblogger #yabooks #bookstagrammers #bookstagramfriends #bookishtags #bookworm #bibliophile #ireadya #booksofinstagram #readersofinstagram #alwaysreading #bookaholic #books #fiction #fantasy #paranormal #youngadult #thegildedking

#TheDarkDaysPact by @alisongoodmanauthor has to be one of my favorite second books of a series. #TheDarkDaysClub was incredible, but this one offered so much more and I cannot wait to read #TheDarkDaysDeceit! 📖 If you want to find out why I loved this book so much, and how amazingly re-readable it is then make sure you click the link in my bio! 📖 #bookaddict #booklover #booknerd #bookdragon #bookstagram #bookblogger #yabooks #bookstagrammers #bookstagramfriends #bookishtags #bookworm #bibliophile #ireadya #booksofinstagram #readersofinstagram #alwaysreading #bookaholic #books #fiction #HistoricalFiction #paranormal
