Book review: Just for the Summer by Abby Jimenez

Just for the Summer by Abby Jimenez
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I love the previous two books in the series. I don't know why I couldn't feel for Emma much. I loved Justin's character. Abby Jimenez seriously writes the best book boyfriends ever. Like, these men are straight out of our dreams.
Amber.. I hated her so much. So so much. And the twist just made me hate her more and more.
I loved the relationship between Maddy and Emma. What I didn't like was the repetitive 'getting small' thing. I understand it was to make a point but it was getting on my nerves after the second time it was pointed out.
Again I loved the other two books but this fell short on Emma. Three stars are all for Justin.

Book review: Twisted Games by Ana Huang

Twisted Games by Ana Huang
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

The book was a collection of all the cliches in terms of writing, a person can think of. How can a person see a " flash of *any emotion under the sun*" on another's face with accuracy?
The writing was the reason I literally skipped the last three chapters. Talk about closure. Closure was putting it in the "Read" section with a sigh.
People on Instagram have been going on and on about the chemistry and love in this book.
That wasn't chemistry. Give me a brooding and sullen hero and bubbly and auah sunshine lady, I'll make a thousand more beautiful scenarios that don't end with making you roll your eyes at the predictably and again "cliche-ness".
I gave it a try, an honest one because the setup for me seemed ideal. Bodyguard and a princess. Uff.. so much potential and such a let down.

The Forty Rules of Love by Elif Shafak
My rating: 1 of 5 stars

DNF-ed. I guess i can't read boring and prolonged kinda text. I felt no connection with anyone. I wanted to read quickly the author's and Ella's story but it was interrupted by Shams and everything. I couldn't complete it and had to stop after 40%. Not my cup of tea.

Book review: The Queen of Nothing by Holly Black

The Queen of Nothing by Holly Black
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was better than the previous one because it had angst on Cardan's part. Drama. Wrapping of many many plotlines. and satisfactory on that. Jude, I liked her here, finally show of vulnerability was here which I really was craving from the start. And the confession was good. The end was good. The middle and start were good too. I liked Grima Mog. And hated Madoc like anything. And Yay Locke got what he deserved. But I still don't like Taryn, I don't know why but I couldn't forgive her.
