And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie
4.0
Thriller and mystery that did not disappoint.
I had an idea who the killer was but I was wrong so I was surprised to find out who and why. It was a good read.

Wow … just wow
Absolutely an amazing read. I was struck of how it was so interesting that, I couldn’t stop reading. I personally can’t wait for the second book.

A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas
5.0
I really enjoyed the whole flow of this book. What I love the most was when I was reading I could imagine the scenery of this whole world because of how good the small details were written. The love story was beautiful and self-love (feyre). When Feyre started feeling more than how she saw herself, to being accepted from others she didnt think would've been accepting. That was beautifully written.
In my opinion, the sisters were very complicated to say the least. It felt very unfair how Nesta treated Feyre and in a way, at the end I understood why, but I also feel like she didnt need to be that way toward Feyre. I am glad that the relationship between them was fixed at the end of this story because Feyre loved her family, even if she made that promise with her mom, she really loved them and only wanted to give them everything.
lucien was my favorite character. His brothers are a dick and his father is a coward. His story was heartbreaking, losing his true love and his eye because of his bravery. But lucien still kept true to himself and pushed through. I liked how he is a very loyal friend. I hope he finds happiness in the future books.
There was a moment when I felt 2nd hand embarrasment. When the whole staff can see Feyre the entire time and she wasnt aware. That was hilarious.
Tamlin and Rhysand is like light and dark going head to head. I couldnt decide who I liked more or hated more from their actions or intentions. In a way I felt Tamlin seems "too perfect" and seems like Tamlin likes to keep secrets even after, Everyone else explained the curse and even at the end he gave no explanation. While Rhy is a likeable prick with do-able red flags.
That BITCH Amarantha, now she was scary, a trickster and ruthless. Kindof gives me communist vibes. Eventhough her drive was the death of her sister, she had already taken care of the murderer so i feel like Her endgame was going to be endless and I'm glad Tamlin got rid of her face with the sword.
Overall I will continue with the series and see where it takes me.

A Curse of Blood and Bloom by Santana Saunders
2.0
I give this book a 2.7.
The word building was good.
It had potentional but fell short.
The chapters are POV back and fourth between the 2 main characters.
Aero and Evanthe.
Reading it, I thought this was a great idea but than I was wrong. In my opinion, Characters became super unrelatedable or even likeable.
Theyre suppose to be romance between them and I felt no chemistry between Aero and Evanthe.
It felt very rush, no build up to them.
Aero gives off "too fast" and weirdo vibes.
Evanthe character was pretty boring and at times just exhausting.
I read about Vampry, Fae, Ghost and Greek Gods ...but kinda not really.. a bit misleading.. After a while of reading I started to think, wow this is just lots of ideas vomitted together.
At certain points it was just confusing, felt like there wasn't one or two things to focus on, there had to be 5 or 6 "important" task, which some had no backstory or a reason of why it even mattered.
just very confusing and majority of it just didnt make sense.
For me, It started to become "ok" after chapter 27.
The ending was alright i guess, I really pushed myself to finish this book and Overall the execution Felt a bit disappointing. Sadly i wont continue this series.
