The Ruby Circle (Bloodline Bk 6)

Stars 4/5

The Ruby Circle (Bloodlines Bk 6) by Richelle Mead

This is the 6th and final book of the Bloodline series. I have to say that this book had lots of action and ended very well. Even though it would be amazing if later Richelle Mead would start a whole new series featuring Declan growing up and on a new adventure back to the Vampire Academy. I would LOVE that! Just an idea! This book brought together all the characters of the past except I would of liked to see more of Christian. I did like him. I would also love to revisit this world again. This series had it's issues but overall I very much enjoyed it. I loved to love the characters and I loved to hate some of the characters. I would recommend this series as well as The Vampire Academy.

Silver Shadows (Bloodlines Bk 5)

Stars 3/5

Silver Shadows (Bloodlines Bk 5) by Richelle Mead

This is the 5th book in the Bloodline series. It continues to follow Sydney and her endeavors with the Alchemists. I can not go into the story as to not spoil it but I have to say that Sydney really angers me when after Adrian has helped her by his magic, she makes a comment about him starting back on his meds to end his magic as she continues to have hers. Adrian deserved better. That is all I can say.

The Fiery Heart (Bloodlines Bk 4)

Stars 3/5

The Fiery Heart (Bloodlines Bk 4) by Richelle Mead

This is the 4th book in the Bloodlines series. The story continues with Sydney and the mission to protect Jill. Let me say that I am starting to really hate Sydney! She only shows love for Adrian after he starts taking meds to make him more human. Pffft Sydney doesn't deserve him. Also I knew that I hated Zoey and I was right. I don't want to go into the story more as to not spoil it but if it were not for Adrian I think I would of quit by now. Sorry to say but the females in this series are annoying. 

Autoboyography

Stars 4/5

Autoboyography by Christina Lauren

I really enjoyed this LGBTQ + M/M book! It tackled some very hard issues about coming out to not only yourself but to others. The story follows Tanner, an out of the closet to his family bi-sexual, that falls in love with his teacher's aide, Sabastian Brother - a Mormon son of the Bishop. This is a coming of age story that forces decisions to be made... religious obligations or love. I don't want to go into this story more as to not spoil it. I do recommend this everyone who loves M/M romances like me.

History Is All You Left Me

Stars 5/5

History Is All You Left Me by Adam Silvera

(note.. This book made it to my 2018 Favorites List)

I love Adam Silvera's books and I knew I would love this one as well and I did. This book in fact made it to my 2018 Favorites List. This story was so touching and so real. It was the most heart felt book I have read in a long time. It follows Griffin, a young boy in love with his best friend Theo and their relationship until Theo dies in a drowning accident. Each chapter alternates between then and now so you understand all the "whys" and "how did that happens". That is all I am going to say about this book. One because I don't want to cry again and Two because I do not want to spoil the raw emotion held within this book. I love LGBTQ + inspired books especially M/M and so I would recommend this to everyone.

The Afterlife Academy

Stars 4/5

The Afterlife Academy by Frank L. Cole

I really enjoyed this unique and creative story so I want to start off by mentioning why I gave it only 4 stars. I loved everything about this book including the characters and story line but I think the religious aspect didn't sit well with me and it would restrict the reading audience. I can see why the author went with the heaven and hell destinations but I think the story would of stood just as strong without even mentioning the areas at all. The story follows Walter and how he was struck by lightning and died. He found himself being fast tracked into the Afterlife Academy and sent back to earth to protect a horribly bullied boy named Charlie but he wasn't sent to protect him from bullies so much as demons. I don't want to go into the story more as to not spoil it and I would recommend it to others.
