It took me forever to finish this book but I finally did it! It took a while to finish for a few different reasons;
1: Its long.
2: It was an audio book.
3: It didn't really hold my interest in some parts.
It was a very well written book with very eloquently worded descriptions but really, do you need a three page description about a sunrise? All in all it was a great ending to a very beautiful love story. This story was so unique and I loved it!

Though the Greek and Roman crewmembers of the Argo II have made progress in their many quests, they still seem no closer to defeating the earth mother, Gaea. Her giants have risen - all of them - and they're stronger than ever. They must be stopped before the Feast of Spes, when Gaea plans to have two demigods sacrificed in Athens. She needs their blood - the blood of Olympus - in order to wake.

It's over. I can't believe Percy Jackson's story is finally over. Like always, Rick Riordan is a genius. The book was full of twists and turns. I loved that you got to see all your favorite characters one last time. I only wish it was a little clearer what happened to Thalia and Hylla? I loved that Nico finally comes into his own too! I admit I cried while finishing this book, these characters will always hold an extra special place in my heart. Especially Leo!

I really enjoyed this book but it wasn't a 'favorite' like the others of this series. Thats because there wasn't any real action in this book, until the last 15 min. And even the big showdown at the end you knew was coming from the first chapter. There were absolutely no surprises in this book. However, I cannot wait for the next installment. I need to see how Sydney gets herself out of this one.

This book was very similar to The Hunger Games. I did like the twist on it but it was like re-reading The Hunger Games. I'm excited to read the next book and hope it becomes its 'own'. That all being said it was good with some twists I never saw coming.

After his unexpected journey into the lands of the fey, Ethan Chase just wants to get back to normal. Well, as "normal" as you can be when you see faeries every day of your life. Suddenly the former loner with the bad reputation has someone to try for - his girlfriend, Kenzie. Never mind that he's forbidden to see her again. But when your name is Ethan Chase and your sister is one of the most powerful faeries in the Nevernever, "normal" simply isn't to be.

Julie Kagawa can do no wrong. There is nothing that she will write that I wouldn't love. And especially if that book involves The NeverNever. I love Kagawa's interpretation of the fey.I adored every single character and only wish Grimalkin was more apart of this story. I can not wait for the next instalment!

Only read this book when you have nothing better. Don't get me wrong it's not bad, it's just not that good either. The main character will drive you crazy! She takes 'love at first sight' to a whole new level; a very annoying level.

A book about trolls?! This was a neat book, trolls were never something I've read about before. There weren't many plot twists in this story that you couldn't see coming but the writing and narration was so good it really didn't matter.I think that this trilogy is just going to keep getting better, I cant wait to read the next one.

This is a modern day take on the Hades and Persephone myth but unlike the others I've read recently, I really enjoyed it. Its so crazy how much Brodi Ashton can make you absolutely despise a character and kind of like them at the same time, like Cole. He is the worst person ever but you almost like him a bit. The most annoying part of this story was the fact that NO ONE figured out who Mary really was?! I mean it was so obvious. I enjoyed this book a lot more than I thought it would. I cannot wait to read the next installment.

The first time Eby Pim saw Lost Lake, it was on a picture postcard. Just an old photo and a few words on a small square of heavy stock, but when she saw it, she knew she was seeing her future. That was half a lifetime ago. Now Lost Lake is about to slip into Eby’s past. Her husband, George, is long passed. Most of her demanding extended family are gone.

So happy Sarah Addison Allen is back writing again. Her work is amazing. Allen has a gift for writing these novels and sprinkling just a bit of magic on top. I loved the setting of this book being a southern girl myself. I also loved the little girl in this book, Devon just had such a greatness about her that really just made this book for me.

There's a reason why Kelley Armstrong is one of my all time favorite authors. She creates such wonderful worlds of magic and mystery. I love the strong female characters that she imagines as well. This story was unlike any I have really read before and I loved it! I love the animal counterparts, they made the animal lover in me smile. I cant wait to continue this series and see what happens next.
