Everneath by Brodi Ashton

Hello again everyone, this week we will be looking at Everneath by Brodi Ashton. Have to say I was looking forward to this book before it came out and I was happy to finally read it. So without further delay let's dive in!

 Meet Nikki, who has just come back from a 100 year feed in the Everneath. What is that you ask? Well, every 100 years or so these special people that come from the magical world of the Everneath have to feed on a vessel for another 100 years to get a longer life. They do this every 100 years and they continue doing it until they die, which is never I believe. 
But 100 years in the Everneath is only 6 months on Earth, and Nikki wasn't a vessel. She was a scared girl going through a lot of trouble who ran away from home and right into the hands of Cole, someone in need of a feeder. But something went wrong in the feed, and Nikki survived, being the only person ever to do it besides the current Queen. And don't you bet Cole wants everything to do with her now.
Too bad Nikki chose not to stay with him, and now only has 6 months to get her life back in order before the tunnels of the Everneath come for her and drag her to a fate worse than death. This is the story from Nikki's point of view as she tries to rekindle her lost relationship, fix what she has done with her parents, and find a way to save herself from the tunnels. 
But the worst part is, Cole hasn't given up on making her his queen. He wants her to stay with him and become a feeder so that she can overthrow the queen. But she isn't interested. All she wants is for things to go back to normal.
A shame things never seem to go as she wants.

 So the book basically starts off the moment she exits the feed, and jumps around in time to show you what happened before the feed and what is happening after. I really liked the way Cole shows up, using his powers to manipulate Nikki and tries to get her back at any cost. She doesn't like him very much, obviously, because he used her before when she was with her current boyfriend, and he is doing everything in his power to mess up her perfect plan to fix her life with him and save herself from the tunnels.
It is certainly worth a read, as it is a new take on Teen Romance series and I am told it is to be a trilogy, which is always my favourite!
I gave is a 3 out of 5 star rating.
See you all next week, and have a great new year!

Kings or Pawns By J. J. Sherwood

Hey everyone I hope you are all having a good Monday. This week I was lucky enough to be sent a copy of this book to read. It's about the size of an average book, just about 400 pages online but it is by no means a quick read. Like Game of Thrones or Lord of the Rings there is a lot of the lore and different species to learn about. Along with that there is also the add on of other worlds with even more people. My first impressions of the book were that it was a little hard to get into. The cover of the book reminds me of Dungeons and Dragons, which I am a big fan. But as a player I know that there can be a lot to do before getting into the good parts of the story so I sort of felt that the book would be a little like that. I wouldn't say that feeling was far off. But before I get into that let me tell you a bit about the book: In the world there are only two real players: King and Pawns. If you are not a King... well, you know what you are. Even if you are a highly respe

By the Hands of Men: The Old World by Roy M. Griffs

Hey everyone, I'm posting a little late today because... well, I don't actually have an excuse. I was eating McDonalds and then found a funny video online and well... I'm doing it now do there is no reason to go on. A couple weeks ago I received this book to read from the very generous author. It is a Historical Fiction set in World War One from the point of view of a nurse working near the front lines. I love stories from War because they are part of our history and I think it's important to know more about it. This book was also great for me because we had just gotten to the part about World War One in my European History class (both of the ones I am taking). But let me tell you a bit about the story: Charlotte is a Russian nurse who has been working on the front lines since close to the beginning of the war. Her and her friend from America have been working hard and have learned many things while treating the wounded. For a couple of months Charlotte is moved

Hello everyone I hope you are having a great day. I'm sorry this is coming at you later in the day than usual but I only just finished reading the book a couple minutes ago. It has taken me a while to read the book as a lot of books have lately but it isn't because I didn't like the book it is just because I have been so busy with school. I am off next week so I am hoping to get a chance to catch up on some reading then. Also, I am sure some of you are noticing that I am reading books lately that aren't very well known books. As apposed to the teen books or popular books I used to do I have been doing other types of books. This is because I think it is great to look at other books that one doesn't always see and I am always looking to help out authors when they ask me to check out their book for them.  With that out of the way let me tell you a bit about the book: A man is called to the side of the Goblin King to be hired to retrieve a sword that was stollen
