Three Dark Crowns
Title: Three Dark Crowns
Author: Kendare Blake
Main Characters: Katharine, Arsinoe, Mirabella
Setting: Fennbirn
Book Length: 398 Pages
Summary: Three sisters grew up separate from one another. Katharine with the poisoner family, Arsinoe with the naturalists, and Mirabella with the elementals. When it comes time to compete for the throne, only one of these 3 has powers. But, with the goddess watching over them, who knows who's odds are in her favor?
I have such heart eyes for this book. You just get so attached to these well-written characters, it was simply amazing. There was no cursing and only mentions of sex but never graphically. It would have been 5 stars but the cliffhanger killed me so it is now 4... but it was a really good book!! I highly recommend it, but wait until September so you don't have to agonizingly suffer while waiting for the next book! See you on September 19th with your reviews!!!
4 out of 5 stars!!!

We Were Liars

Author: E. Lockhart
Main Characters: Cadence, Gat, Mirren, Johnny
Setting: Beechwood Island
Book Length: 225 Pages
Summary: The four main characters of this story are known as the Liars. They are cousins and best friends, and they do everything together. After a tragic accident, Cadence is trying to remember a summer forgotten, but with her constant migraines, it won't be easy to put these pieces back together.
Woah. When this book started, it gave me such Gossip Girl vibes, but honestly, this was so much better. I finished it within a few hours, it was so good. Towards the end it was like I couldn't even look away, I just wanted to know how it was going to end! Definitely a great summer read. The fairy tales intertwined with the actual story made me so happy. This was just such an amazing book. And if anyone wants to discuss the plot twist, I am here ;) . That ending had me so shook, I needed to take a break and breathe for a good hour before I could do anything.
5 out of 5 stars!

I fell in love with this story from page one. Yes, it is similar to the Hunger Games. But, that's what makes it so good! It is slightly similar in some ways, but in the ways it is different- it makes this book amazing. I loved it and so will you!!! I highly recommend reading this one!
