The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V E Schwab

Stars : 4/5

In the year of 1914, a 23-year-old woman named Addie LaRue is about to get married,. But she doesn't want that. She wants to be independent, she wants to be free. Hence, she prays earnestly and a Dark God answers her, and grants her wish, but the twist is that she is immortal and no one will remember Addie, she can't leave a mark of her own. For 300 years, she finds loopholes in her curse and survives. But now out of nowhere a boy named Henry remembers her, and she doesn't know how.

I'd a experience of ups and downs with this book. I faced a little difficulty to get into the writing style of V E Schwab, but then I got used to it. In the beginning of the book I thought that I would give it 5 stars, then in the middle of the book I thought that I would give it 2 stars and in the end I gave it 4 stars. The ups and down I had was because of Henry, I found it really difficult to like him, but in the end I liked him. To be honest I really liked the Dark God more than Henry.

Because the book was set in various timelines I thought that I wouldn't enjoy the book very much, but that didn't confuse me at all. I really enjoyed the book.

She’s a huge fan of a series named Simon Snow. She writes fanfictions about Simon and Baz from this series. She’s quite a popular author in the fanfiction community. This book is all about how she’s trying to cope and live her life. I really enjoyed reading this book, it was a quick read for me. The story was really heartwarming. To a point, I could relate to Cath and that made my reading experience better. I really loved the bitter-sweet relationship between Cath and Wren, also I loved the relationshi...

The Mystery of Alice by Lee Bacon

Stars : 5/5 This book is about a 13-year-old girl named Emily Poe, who gets a one time opportunity to attend the elite Audyn School. But for that she has to pass a 'not so normal' scholarship test. Only she and another girl named Alice passes the scholarship exam. Soon she becomes close to Alice, but there are lot of mysteries about Alice that she still doesn't know about. But suddenly like a wave, everything comes to light and everything is swept away from her. This a tween book, though people from any age group can read it. It's a feel good book. The sound effects that the audiobook had was just amazing. The only thing that bothered me was the age of the characters, all of them were thirteen, and it's really hard to believe that thirteen year old kids could do this. Otherwise, I thoroughly enjoyed the book.

Stars : 5/5  16-year old Theresa Gray (Tessa as she's called) comes to London from New York in reply to her brother, Nathaniel Gray's letter. The moment she steps out of the port, two warlock sisters collectively known as the 'Dark Sisters' kidnaps her. They train her to bring out the hidden power in her and use it, so that they can give her to a mysterious man who is referred as 'The Magister'. Eventually a shadowhunter saves her from there. And from then on the mysteries of the Shadow World unwinds in front of her. I read it and I just don't know what to say. It's a phenomenal book. The writing is super good. I've already started reading 'Clockwork Prince'. After reading the five books in The Mortal Instruments Series and the Clockwork Angel, Cassandra Clare has easily made her way in my all time favorite authors list. Give me any book she has written and I'm definitely gonna devour it.
