S.T. Abby did it again. The sequel was just as good as the first book, if not a little better. The only downfall is that there were a few small errors in the writing but it was nothing that messed up the storyline.

I was shocked at how good this book is. It has a cute romance with a little mystery. I had to force myself to stop reading it. I can't wait to read the other two in the trilogy
Lunch in Paris: A Love Story, with Recipes by Elizabeth Bard

I am not big on non-fiction, it usually bores me, but I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It has a cute story with some pretty good-sounding recipes. The only downfall would be that some of the ingredients would be somewhat hard to find in the states but it doesn't change my rating of it.

I didn't realize this book was a part of a series until I looked it up on here. It definitely made me want to read the rest of the series. It has the perfect mix of nature and mystery. The details are amazing and they made me feel like I was in the park with the characters.

Orenda is the sequel in The Latitude Series which is a continuaton of The Antipodes Series. Just like all of the books before, Orenda kept me captivated during it all. Enriching detail makes the reader feel like they are in the story with the characters and each feeling the characters feel is felt through the words. If you are looking for an entralling read with twists, turns, and science fiction, look no further.

This dark and twisted romance will keep you on the edge of your seat with relatable and loveable characters. Angela Lam does an amazing job at making the reader feel the emotions that the characters are feeling and as though they are in the story. Twists and turns kept me engaged through the entire book.
I enjoyed No Amends from start to finish. Twists and turns occur in the story when you least expect them to. This love triangle will keep you guessing until the very end. If you are looking for a dark romance with a psychological thriller mixed in, look no further.

Cruel King with its dark twist, is the epitome of an enemies-to-lovers romance. Ava practically grew up around the King family. Theo, a King brother, is her best friend. She got along with the whole family, except for Matthias. Matthias always seemed to loathe her and her, not know why. Until one day, fate had them trapped together. Once they were free, however, he went right back to being the cruel King brother. If only Ava knew how Matthias was feeling. Did Ava misinterpret Matthias or is it meant to be? Find out in Cruel King.
Cruel King is full of twists, turns, and some of them dark. At times you want to love the characters, while other times they frustrate you to the point of wanting to scream. The characters are relatable, and their feelings can be felt through the page. The book is enthralling and intricately woven.
I enjoyed Cruel King from the beginning to the end. I did not want to put it down. K.M. Scott is a master storyteller, leaving no stone unturned. It left me wanting more.
