A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas
5.0
It's been a very long time since I've picked up a series and instantly wanted read the next book. Which of course I did!
I wish I had read this a few years ago because man did I enjoy it!!
This is is definitely a grown up YA book. And even though I've fallen for Tamlin in this book and yes Rhysand, I know they aren't what you should look for in a relationship in real life!
The journey you take in this book is astonishing. I nearly couldn't believe it was all in one book! Feyre definitely had her hands full.
Even with the hard and sensitive topics placed in this novel I feel that it was handled well enough. Questions that were in the back of brain were answered in the text so I wasn't left feeling uncomfortable for long at certain pieces.

Our Stop by Laura Jane Williams
3.0
Our Stop has everything that I would want in a romance novel but it unfortunately just didn't hit the spot.
Only towards the end did I start to get sucked into the storyline and begin feel excited about where the characters were going to end up.
When Nadia decides to change her life and start a new routine, she starts by trying to get the 7.30am train. However nights out with her friends sometimes means that she gets a later train...
Daniel gets the 7.30am

Twilight by Stephenie Meyer
3.0
I have to admit, reading a book from my teenage years was very nostalgic. I had loved these books when I was younger and thought the content was brilliant.
Now as an adult and having widened my scope, there is definitely some cringe worthy moments.
Bella seems very whiny and maybe a bit to eager where Edward is concerned.
On the flip side Edward can seem very controlling. Demanding Bella to do as he says or snapping at her then becoming very friendly sometimes on the same page.
However Edward does have the most likable qualities compared to Bella.
I find that the events in this book are very fast paced.. . Meyer could have made this book a bit longer to make it seem more plausible.

The Toll by Neal Shusterman
5.0
Oh my goodness, I honestly don't know where to start!! I listened to this over the course of three days while cleaning in work and man I was just taken on the most amazing ride ever.
I really enjoy the first book Scythe, it was a brilliant starting book and I loved the idea of human life in the future. The second book Thunderhead wasn't as great but still had some very important plot points.
Now on to The Toll...
With so many plot lines I was near dead to find out what each character would be going next.
This book happens over a course of roughly three years and I was a bit confused at the start about the time lines but I got used to it pretty quickly.
Rowan and Citra have disappeared, Scythe Goddard claims power and Faraday is making a journey that hasn't been taken in over 200 years.
The Thunderhead has still closed itself off to everyone but Grayson Tolliver... And this could be just the right man for everyone.
I'm normally pretty good at guessing plot twist and turns but the two I guess happened just before they were properly revealed.
I couldn't recommend this book series enough and I'm over the moon that @paperbackpiano
brought this series into my life.
I am very excited to see this on the big screen but to be honest, I could picture the whole world so perfectly that I definitely wait!
