~Book Review: Aurora Burning~

    My Thoughts:

    Hello and welcome back to my blog!

    I just finished Aurora Burning this morning and just....wow. I don't even know where to start. P.S. I will try to keep this as spoiler-free from Aurora Rising as possible but be warned...

    Compared to Aurora Rising, I have to say I like this a lot more. They're both excellent but this book had such a grip on me from the beginning. And I was hooked throughout the rest of the story. Squad 312 was in a heap of trouble after what happened in Aurora Rising. They were still on the run and worse, they were now the galaxy's most wanted criminals.

    With the Ra'haam growing in power and the GIA (Global Intelligence Agency...Earth's scary and corrupted governing authority) after them, the fate of the universe was left on Auri (jeez), the mysterious girl who was found in a spaceship that had been lost for over 200 years. So, yes, she's kind of over 200 years old. Auri was able to wield a special power that could eliminate Ra'haam once and for all...butttttt there was another problem. An Unbroken (scary Syldrathi—very hot alien species—gang whose leader was known as the Starslayer...I think the name speaks for itself) was right on their butt and the Templar (the ship leader) wanted one of the squad's members. Not chaotic enough? Auri didn't even know how to control this special power of hers. Then the squad got split up, and a galactic war was on the verge of happening.

    Character development is a big part of this book. I could tell how much each character has grown from the last book. Not just individually but as a group, too. They were thrown together without a choice but as they escape danger with one another, trust started to grow between them. Don't get me even started on the romantic relationship. Some people might find it cheesy but I found it really cute. It was a little bit of love at first sight. But as Auri and Kal (the squad member who was Syldrathi) got to know each other more, they started to develop feelings. Their interactions were 😍.

    Most sequels I've read lacked the action that I loved so much in the first book. But it was not the case with Aurora Burning. Every page was action-packed that left me on the edge of my seat wanting to know more. The ending was...WHAT??? I wasn't ready for the book to end! It left on such a big cliffhanger. This just makes me so much more excited for the third book. This had been an amazing read to lead me right into September. Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff write some of the best sci-fi books I've ever read!

    Thanks for reading! ❤

~Book Review: The Rest of the Story~

       My Rating:            ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4.25)      My Thoughts:     Hello book lovers and welcome back to my blog!     My goal is to slowly make my way through all of Sarah Dessen's books and I made progress after finish The Rest of the Story . It was very cute but also pretty heavy and serious.      Emma Saylor doesn’t remember a lot about her mother, who died when Emma was twelve. But she does remember the stories her mom told her about the big lake that went on forever, with cold, clear water and mossy trees at the edges.      Now it’s just Emma and her dad, and life is good, if a little predictable…until Emma is unexpectedly sent to spend the summer with her mother’s family that she hasn’t seen since she was a little girl.      When Emma arrives at North Lake, she realizes there are actually two very different communities there. Her mother grew up in working-class North Lake, while her dad spent summers in the wealthier Lake North resort. The more time Emma spends there, the more it

~Book Review: Emmy & Oliver~

Image
My Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4.75) My Thoughts:      I had such a fun time reading this book! After reading the synopsis, I was hooked. It sounded like such a cool concept and the book did not disappoint. Emmy and Oliver were childhood friends and they had a chance of becoming something more . But Oliver was kidnapped by his dad and now, ten years later, Oliver came back and it's a wild mess of pesty reporters and family drama. Old romances rekindled but Oliver wasn't the same seven-year-old boy who left anymore.      Emmy was one of the main characters (hence the name of the book) and while she wasn't the one kidnapped, her whole life was affected by it. She grew up watching reporters and police come and go, but none was able to find Oliver. She spent ten years hoping—like everybody else—that he would come back home. But the tragedy left her parents shocked and extremely overprotective. Emmy knew her parents wouldn't consent to her surfing, but she loved it. She loved being able

~Quarantine Reads!~

Hi! I know these are tough times right now that we're going through, but look on the bright side...there's more time to read! I would definitely take a regular day over more time to read any day. I miss things the way they are. That is not the point of this post, though. Over the past few months since quarantine has started, I have read a ton of books. Some were okay while some I fell absolutely heads over heels in LOVE. While I can't technically go out to the local library and borrow some books, my kindle has made it SO much easier to read. 1. Moment of Truth by Kasie West      Kasie West is definitely one of my all-time favorite authors. She writes contemporary YA romance stories and they are amazing. I don't want to hype it up too much. If you read one of her books and it's not your cup of tea, it's completely fine. I enjoy her books so much. They are cute while having a lot of good messages in them. That was no different for Moment of Truth. It's about
