Finished this book on vacation in Memphis. It was interesting. The 4 horsemen show up on earth and electricity and other things as we know it, stop working. Then they go away for 5 years and Pestilence shows up. He appears to only be riding throughout Canada and US. He kidnaps Sara and punishes her for a bit. She then starts to turn him a bit human and romance things happen. I‘m not sure if I‘ll read the rest of the books in the series.

Violet is attending Comic Con where the actors from her favourite book-turned-into-a-film 'The Gallows Dance' are due to appear, when a freak accident transport Violet, younger brother Nate, & friends Alice & Katie into the story world for real. Now they are right in the midst of the struggle between the perfect 'Gems' & the 'Imps' (Imperfects) but their appearance derails the story & causes the death of 'Imp' heroine, Rose.

OutsmartYourShelf Now Violet has to take Rose's place & convince 'Gem' Willow to fall in love with her instead of Rose & kickstart the revolution. Violet knows the book by heart so it should be simple - except the characters don't stick to the storyline, there's much more going on behind the scenes than the book ever explained, & why is Violet so attracted to side character Ash? 1d
OutsmartYourShelf This one has been on my TBR shelf for ages & I have no idea why I haven't read it until now. I really enjoyed it & was actually rather sorry to finish it so I ordered the sequel straight after. I loved the 'Gallows Dance' world & there were some funny asides about YA dystopian tropes in series like the 'Hunger Games' & 'Allegiant'.
4.5🌟

I didn‘t knew anything about the author or anything about this series since I bought this book “blindly” but it‘s crazy how fast I got attached
The way it had me sobbing in the end and
the cliffhanger😫

I swear, every day since Drumpf's second inauguration has felt like the shittiest dystopian. Unfortunately, this is not merely fiction. This is very much real and all of the policies/authoritarian aspirations are causing real time pain and suffering.

kspenmoll Totally frightening-daily onslaught. Yes to all you said! 2d
itsjustme40something It's an almost out of body experience to begin making contingency plans, discussing safety with my kids all while trying to function "normally " 2d

AnnCrystal It was unbelievable! Alex Padilla is the first Latino elected to the United States Senate from California, it must have been all they saw...

This is crazy, not even a Senator has rights to question Little t's policies?

This is horrifying in America!

Irl grp last night had an Orwell themed chat about Wifedom + this excellent retelling of 1984 from the perspective of Julia. We discover about a childhood in which she betrays her patents, her work in the ministry, and Obriens recruitment of her to use sex to reveal male enemies of big brother. If the world wasn't increasingly resembling the dystopian society imagined 70 years ago, this would have been a fun read, but today, it felt disturbing.
