I wasn't sure what to expect going into this book, but the cover drew me in and seemed so fascinating! Right away my brain tried to compare it to something, but what? It has a similar *feeling* of Cassandra Clare's Mortal Instrument series, but that's where the similarities stop.
I will admit I haven't read any of the other books, so I was a touch lost in the beginning, but that quickly went away the further into the story I went. I enjoyed the book, loved the dynamic of good versus evil, and the overall plot. Super easy flow that kept me wanting to turn the pages.
3.8 savvy crowns from me! :)

So I pretty much loved this book. Thank you NetGalley for allowing me to read it for free. I binge read it - well most of it and then put off finishing it for a while because I was way too close to the end. I just wasn't ready to put it down.
Roue and Syl are both so precious and I love them both. The side characters were just as loveable. I did find some parts were a little cliché, but I mean what book is without some clichés. I would have loved to see more angsty moments with dark Rouen as I do enjoy characters with darker sides to them. And I am anxious to learn of what happened to Lennon in the future, it would be saddening if she was gone permanently.
This is probably just me, but I would have liked it to be longer, with slower pacing. This may be because I wanted more to read, but it would have been interesting to have to wait longer for things to come to a conclusion.

Nemesis is the fourth book in the Circuit Fae series, and this one is a doozy. It packs a serious punch, and I definitely think it's the darkest book of the series.
If you haven't read any of the previous books, you need to do that ASAP. Seriously, they're so good! Plus, my review below may be mildly spoilery if you haven't read any of the others.
***
Syl is struggling to come to terms with the fact that Rouen may be lost to her thanks to the Darksider spell she's under, courtesy of one Miss Jessamine Jardin (aka the school librarian). But even though Rouen is now hell-bent on destroying Syl and the Fair Faerie realm, Syl is still determine to try and find a way to save her. Does she succeed, or is Rouen too far gone to be saved?
I have to say, I quite enjoyed Nemesis. It's a crazy whirlwind of emotions that will have readers eagerly devouring the pages, wondering what could possibly happen next and hoping things get better rather than worse.
Syl and Rouen (and their friends) are put through the ringer in this book. It's utter insanity at times, and I absolutely loved every moment of it. I think Nemesis may be my favorite book of the entire series.
There are some fascinating secrets that come to light, and loads of action, mayhem, and romance. There's something for everyone, and I know Nemesis (and the previous books) will appeal to fans of YA fantasy/paranormal/LGBT romance.
I can't wait for book five!
4.5 stars from me!

Spoiler warning: this review contains minor spoilers for the series, but none for this specific book. If you've read this far in the series, you're good to go.
Every book in this series gets better, and Nemesis is no exception. I discovered this series right before Inimical (book 3) released. If you've read this far in the series you know that is the WORST one to end on because of what happens to Rouen. It was painful waiting for an entire year for the next main installment after reading 1 – 3 back to back. I'm so excited Nemesis is here and we can finally save Rouen! (I hope!)
Nemesis is shorter than the other books in the series but so much happens! There's lots of action and tension since, you know, Dark Rouen wants to eliminate Syl and take over all of Faerie. Do yourself a favor and read it in one sitting. Don't get to about 50 pages from the end and have to go to bed so you can go to work because that is NOT a good stopping point!
