Re-reading one of my all time favorite trilogies 🙌🏻

“...I was sitting in the lap of a murderer. Yet I was quite happy to sit there, his arms around me.”
I‘m blaming books like these for giving me unrealistic (and probably unhealthy) relationship goals 🙈

Rereading this series currently. I looooove how it‘s written; it‘s small towny and you pretty much have to read it with a southern accent 👌🏻 I tried to watch the tv show but the plot and the tone are entirely different from how Charlaine Harris first created it to be. As usual, the books are so much better!

“Birthday wishes don‘t always come true, so I don‘t waste a chance when I blow out a candle.”

“I pulled my mask on like a helmet. I closed my eyes, savoring it. In here, I was invisible. I could be whomever I wanted. In here, I wasn‘t hiding.”

One of the best books I‘ve read all year. This series is gold. I cannot wait to go to the store tomorrow morning and buy the sequel!

Side note: Do I dare hope the series blows up Hunger Games style with movies and a huge following or do I hope for no one to try adapting the book to movies for fear of failure, as teen fiction adaptations so often become?

Just got this book in the mail and I‘m so excited to dive in!!!

I wanted to like this book but there are three glaring problems with it:
1. The writing is beyond awful. It‘s like they skipped the whole editing/polishing part and just published the first draft.
2. Predictable plot that I‘ve read half a dozen times before. If it was written better, this wouldn‘t be as big of an issue for me but alas.
3. The story was inconsistent about small details but that jars the reader out of the story.
1/10 for me.

This book is pretty highly rated on Amazon so I‘m giving it a go. The style of writing is high school level at best and the plot seems predictable but I‘m trying to keep an open mind 🤞🏼 #pleasebegood

"But souls were wise things. They always knew before the brain or the heart. There was no discriminating—if you saw your perfect other…you knew—instantly."

“We‘re all a product of obligation. A carbon copy of what is permitted in the world we‘re born into. None of us are free—all raised with expectations to fulfill. And it fucking sucks when those expectations become a cage.”

This book was a good read but honestly from the description and previous reviews I thought it would be darker. Maybe the next one is? I did enjoy the plot, the gang of gentlemen, the rules, and punishments though 👌🏻

“I used to think of intimacy as chocolates and roses and sweet whispered words. But it can be blood and violence and darkness, too. That‘s something they don‘t teach you in school.”

The first half of this book was gold. Exciting, sexy, unpredictable. But then all the tension just fizzles away. And some of the details connecting this book to Prisoner were incorrect; exact scenes from the other book played out differently in this one. I‘m a bit disappointed. I expected more from this story.

This book was so GOOD! It‘s twisted, dark, completely fucked up, and borderline abusive. And I fucking loved it.
I would recommend this book to those who prefer every possible topping on their ice cream—if you‘re vanilla, you will probably despise this story.

“Correcting my grammar even at gunpoint. I‘m so fucking hot for her, I think I might burst into flames.”

“Standing by someone during their darkest times creates a bond. A sense of obligation that is less a weight and more a gift.”

It was a little bit difficult at first to immerse myself in this book—so many new terms, names, rules, etc. But what started as “sure let‘s give this book a try,” turned into not being able to put my kindle down! The story is fresh and I am fascinated with the world Sabaa Tahir created. I cannot recommend this book enough! Simply wonderful!

“The field of battle is my temple. The swordpoint is my priest. The dance of death is my prayer. The killing blow is my release.”

“He wasn‘t sure he wanted her to stay. But he didn‘t tell her to leave either.”

I am enjoying the books so far but I still love the show more. Especially because of Octavia. In the show she‘s a badass warrior constantly proving herself and covered in blood. In the books—at least up to where I‘ve read—she‘s mild and almost weak. I aspire to be tv show Octavia 🔥 #aesthetic #octavia #iwanttobeher #warrior #the100

“But that was the thing about grief...You couldn‘t expect anyone else to share your suffering. You had to carry your pain alone.”

I love this tv show and the characters they‘ve created there for the last few years so it‘s interesting to pick up the book and see how different they are. But I‘m a sucker for anything that gets me deeper into this world so I‘m devouring this 😅

This book (and the first in the series The Rift Uprising) is so imaginative and creative! I was wholly wrapped up in the worlds Amy S. Foster wrote. Foster‘s books constantly question not only the character‘s morals, but the reader‘s as well, playing in the grey instead of defining black or white. The only bad thing about this series is that the last part of the trilogy doesn‘t come out until fall!

“I put him in the entryway to stop it from closing—and momentarily feel bad for using a living person as a door stop. I get over it though.” 😂 this book is gold! I am living for this series atm

“Reading should be savored. Each word should be enjoyed.” Amen.

The crippling question of what book to read next. And this is only half of my books... 😅

“Careful, I told myself. You don‘t want to set yourself up for a fall. Be happy. Just not too happy.”
