Rebel Spring (Falling Kingdoms #2) by Morgan Rhodes- 5/5 Stars

Day 2 of Falling Kingdoms love! Have I convinced you to read the series yet?!  😉

It is here, in Rebel Spring that the story picks up. All our characters are now roughly in the same place and all our main characters want to control ancient magic for their own gain...

Rebel Spring begins the process to explain the full meaning of the prophecy (I gotta tell you though, I am on book 5 and still don't have all the details!). 
Gaius, the King of Blood, is in control of the country and he retains that control by killing anyone that dares stand in his way.

Magnus is obsessed with his adopted sister Lucia and unable to see anything beyond his own wishes and the desire to please his father. Magic would help him prove himself to his father, be worth on his eyes.
“Father and I -we're very much the same.We'll do whatever it takes to get what we want,and we'll hurt whoever gets in our way, no matter who they are. Without conscience or remorse.”
Lucia is overwhelmed by her own power and trying to understand why and how her father used her to take over the other kingdom. Magic in her hands could be dangerous and she is in many ways welcoming that danger. I personally believe she is a lot more like Gaius here than Magnus is or ever will be. 

And Cleo is a prisoner in her own home and forced to lie to her own people. She wants magic to reclaim her home. She comes more into her own here, shows more inner strength, more determination.
Her relationship with Magnus and Jonas start to change and take shape here to what is yet to come. It will be a long road and I guarantee you it will be worth the ride!

Jonas is seeking revenge and wants to use magic to free his people. 

Rebel Spring was a great sequel and I cannot recommend it enough.

“Sometimes,to regain sanity,one had to acknowledge and embrace the madness.”

Promises and Pomegranates (Monsters & Muses #1) by Sav R. Miller

I was very excited about this read. The reviews are good, the people recommending it were people whose recommendations I have liked in the past. And in the end, at did like this one. But I will confess from the start that Promises and Pomegranates  did not blow me away. Blurb: Elena To most, Kal Anderson is a villain. Harbinger of death, keeper of souls, frequenter of nightmares. Doctor Death. Hades incarnate. They say he stole me. Usurped my fiancé and filled the cracks in my heart with empty promises. Imprinted his crimson fingerprints on my psyche and tried to set me free. They’re not wrong, per se. Except it was my choice to stay. Kal To most, Elena Ricci is an innocent. Goddess of springtime, lover of poetry, angel of my nightmares. Little one. Persephone personified. They say I ruined her. Shattered her virtue and devoured her soul like a succulent pomegranate. Embedded my evil as deep as I could possibly get and tried to set her free. They’re not wrong, per se. Except it was...

Crow and Reaper by A. Zavarelli (Boston Underworld #1 and #2)

Crow and Reaper by A. Zavarelli (Boston Underworld #1 and #2) @glimpses_of_my_books These books are (to me at least) two VERY different books and the reason you should never give up on an author after just one book. I did not like Crow  one tiny bit. But I absolutely loved Reaper . One is a 1 star, while the other is a 4...  Let's start with the good first, Reaper . Ronan is likely to break your heart. Throughout the book we get snippets of his past, accounts of everything he had to go through before Crow and his mother find him and save him from the horrible life he was leaving. In a way, although I wasn't a fun of Crow in the first book, his love and care for Ronan had made me like him a little better. Ronan is not quiet, moody, and broody by choice. It is a consequence of all the things he has been through, the things I mentioned above that will break your heart... He is caring and loving, but he has no idea how to put those things in action. He is, in a way, one of the mo...

Cruel Prince (Royal Hearts Academy #1) by Ashley Jade

Continuing with my newest obsession, bully romance, we now have Jace. Insufferable, hateful, vengeful Jace. Blurb: I never thought I'd step foot in Royal Manor again. But four years later, here I am... back to finish my senior year at Royal Hearts Academy. And forced to face Jace Covington. My first friend. First crush. First kiss. The one I left behind. Only—he isn't the same boy I gave my heart to. This new Jace is as cruel as he is gorgeous. And he's determined to make my life a living hell. Along with the rest of his glorified family and crew of tyrants. They expect me to worship the ground they walk on like everyone else, but I'd rather eat dirt. If Jace Covington wants me gone...he'll have to try harder. Because I've never been the kind of girl to play by the rules. Jace is cruel. Not as cruel as some of the other bully romances I've been reading lately, but he is definitely not a nice guy. Burnt by his past, still hurting from everything that happened...
