Unhinged by Vera Valentine
3.0
Two thoughts:
1. How is everything always Zeus’ fault??? Like deadass?????
2. Okay it was very short but honestly it is not the worst thing I have read and this book got an extra star for being just enjoyable.

Chain of Thorns by Cassandra Clare
Did not finish book. Stopped at 73%.

Okay because actually what was that????
For all the on screen traumas she put these characters through, she seemed to just want to… resolve and “heal” those characters off screen and then be like “they’re okay now!”.
I stopped reading right afterChristopher’s death . But decided to actually DNF after seeing a spoiler online (about Matthew leaving James ).
To be completely honest, I did not enjoy The Dark Artifices and almost gave up on this author after them, but decided to give The Last Hours a try because I loved The Infernal Devices. But, I am no longer the 11 year old that started these books, and Judith’s inability to keep me invested in the characters that are “important” (or survive) is something I’m not sure I can overlook anymore. I truly may not read The Wicked Powers because of this, and will be reading the wiki page synopsis for the end of this book now.
Maybe someday I will pick up this ebook again and finish the book (and be mad about it) just to have it marked as completed on my Shadowhunters reading challenge, but fuck Judith fr fr.

This was an absolutely depressing read of a teenage girl who dies, and it was beautiful the entire time.

Thank you to Kellen Graves for the ARC copy!
I am obsessed with this book. I read it in a single day, only stopping to clock into a shift. This easily became my most annotated ebook, with me hooked on the story and practically unable to put it down.
I fell absolutely in love with the characters, Alba was such a beautiful MC for this story. My favorite annotation simply reads (in all capitals), “shut up they’re so cute!”
For people who love siren lore, and aren’t afraid of a little cannibalism, this book is definately for you — and you should get a copy as soon as you can!
