NEVERNIGHT by Jay Kristoff
I stopped reading this book just under halfway. Personally, I am surprised that I even got that far.
I really tried to finish this book mainly because I paid full price for a new copy from Amazon. Sadly, after avoiding eye contact with it for more than a week, I decided to call it quits and pick up another book.

THE WIFE BETWEEN US by Greer Hendricks & Sarah Pekkanen
Now I understand why the blurb of this book is so vague and enigmatic – It thrives on mystery and twists. Knowing or guessing just one of the many twists could ruin the whole story. Greer and Sarah expertly weave a web of half-truths which lead readers to interpret the storyline inaccurately.

CHAIN OF GOLD by Cassandra Clare
While I have not read all Cassandra Clare’s books on the Shadowhunters world, I remember reading a few books from The Mortal Instruments series when I was in secondary school. For me, reading this book was a way to reconnect with my younger self to see if what I enjoy reading has changed.

HOUSE OF EARTH AND BLOOD by Sarah J. Maas
Props to Sarah J. Maas for trying something new, but… This was such a let down! The storyline starts off a little slow and generally remains that way for most of the book as the main characters face a series of dead ends. Things finally pick up towards the ends as we are hit with several twists that I really did not see coming.
