Allegiant by Veronica Roth
I honestly have to give this book a bit of a lower rating just because I was not a fan of the ending. I know lots of people love books where the mc dies, but it was personally just not for me. Her death felt rushed, and in my opinion I just don't like it when a mc dies in a book series. Otherwise I enjoyed this book. I liked both POV's and I enjoyed the plot, and how the outside world wasn't what they thought it was, but the ending kind was just not my favourite.

One of Us Is Next by Karen M. McManus
Wow I loved this book and so sad it’s done and I can’t wait for the next one. I did not suspect Emma, and I definitely didn’t suspect owen being part of this. I actually feel really bad for Phoebe, but I also feel really bad for Emma and owen. I was so glad when Nate and brown got back together, and Maeve and Luis, and I have high hopes for Phoebe and Knox. So many plot twists towards the end I could not even deal with all of them. So excited to see what happens in the next book.

This book was pretty interesting. I had doubts the entire book on how everything was going to fit with the later books, but it all came together in the end.
I probably should have pictured the ending but it was hard to imagine that Rhian was actually evil and actually killed Rafal. The ending was a bit confused (how they’re combined together or something, and he changes his name???) but it was still cool, and I enjoyed the prequel. Also, is Rhian gay, or did I miss something?

I really enjoyed this book.
<Spoiler>I loved Nico and Wills dynamic, and I was so glad that they made it out, and their relationship got stronger. I was terrified that they would break up, but I’m glad they made it out. I think Tartarus and the underworld was a good choice for all of this to happen. I was worried it would seem a bit repetitive to house
Of hades, but it was really different. I’m really glad there was a happy ending.

This book was pretty interesting, but mildly stupid. Lots was happening, and the ending seemed dumb. It was really only interesting because of Jacob’s chapters.

Somehow this was the best book in the twilight series so far.

The plot for this book was actually really interesting, but the romance was just not good. I’m not sure how I feel about any of the characters. I like some of them, but then they do something thing that makes me dislike them again. The ending was interesting, but seems a bit odd and I’m not sure whether I agree with it.
