City Of Lost Souls (The Mortal Instruments Book 5) Review.

Hi ForeverBookers,

It's me again, with my review for City Of Lost Souls...I loved this book! It had everything I look for in a good book - great characters, an engaging plot, comedy moments and cute romantic elements from every couple. It had elements of loss and pain involved as well.

Spoilers Below...

The story is continued on from City Of Fallen Angels. Jace is still missing. This makes Clary desperate to find him as she knows he's with her evil brother. Clary, Isabelle and Alec go to see the Seelie Queen, who gives Clary two rings. One of these rings, she gives to Simon on her return. This means they can contact each other no matter where they are, as long as they're both wearing a ring. 

Clary makes the decision to go after Jace through a portal she creates for herself. Of course Simon tries to stop her but Clary is determined to do something to help save her lost love. Simon is also the only one who knows of her plan. She finds Jace and Sebastian together. They take her back to a magical house that can traverse time and space and end up wherever the master wants it to. However, she can't easily get out of this house without either Jace or Sebastian. 

While this is going on, back in New York, Izzy, Simon, Alec and Magnus try to work out how to save Jace while still killing off Sebastian. At the end of City Of Fallen Angels, Sebastian bonded his life to Jace's and vice versa so if Sebastian is killed, Jace will be too. They spend a long time going over different methods - it's only when Magnus mentions calling on an Angel for help that things start to change for the better. It's ultimately down to Simon to call upon the Angel as he can't be killed because of the power that Clary bestowed on him in City Of Glass. 

There are relationship dramas for every main character as well. I enjoyed this as it added a bit of normalcy to the story. 

I don't really want to write anymore of what happens because again, I feel that it's better if you read it for yourself but just know it's really good. I therefore give City Of Lost Souls 5 stars again. There were a couple of slower parts but I actually enjoyed them and thought the author did well to change up the pace of the story a little. It wasn't all thrown in your face straight away here. There are also stories that I haven't begun to cover here that pop up. 

I'm looking forward to finishing the series with City Of Heavenly Fire soon...

American Royals (#1 American Royals) by Katharine McGee review

Hey ForeverBookers,   I’ve just finished American Royals by Katherine McGee and I LOVED it! If you love scandal and complicated love stories in a contemporary setting, then you will love it as well! Think a royal version of Gossip Girl and you have this book in a nutshell. American Royals follows six characters, all of the new adult age range that come together to create a story of intrigue and romance. There isn’t high action or really a plot outside of the romance which was fine with me as I really enjoy stories just focused on the romance. I appreciated how “American Royals” only focused on the six different characters. There weren’t loads of personalities to get to know, and they all followed the same pattern as they’re all from or have grown up around a certain standing in society. This made the characters easy to follow and understand. It is a character led story, without as I said, much plot.  What there is of a plot of American Royals is taken up with the ascension of ...

Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty Review

Hi ForeverBookers,  How are you all today? I've just finished a great contemporary book! 4 Stars! NOTE: There are scenes of abuse and bullying in Big Little Lies so if you're sensitive about either of those topics this book maybe isn't for you.  Big Little Lies tells several stories at once. There's the story about the trivia night that runs throughout, the story of who one of the main character's father is, the story of an abuse victim, a story of a teenage girl putting her virginity up for sail in the internet and the main story for most of the book, little children lying about who bullied another child. All these stories were handled well.  We see the characters, both major and minor be interviewed throughout because of the murder that happened on trivia night. I'll be honest in saying that at the beginning of the book I thought that another character had been killed so it was a surprise to read what actually had happened.  Spoilers belo...

The Flat Share by Beth O’Leary Review

Hi foreverBookers,  How are you all today? I hope you’re well! I’ve just finished reading “The Flat Share” by Beth O’Leary and I’m surprised to say that I VERY MUCH enjoyed it!  4 Stars! I only wanted to read “The Flat Share” because of the TV show that’s just come out in the UK! Beth O’Leary books seemed uninteresting to me before. I will probably read more from her in the future now as I enjoyed this one so much! “The Flat Share” had romance and fluff as well as more serious topics though, which was nice to see. Leon, the main male character is black. I don’t think we see many people of colour in books based in the UK or even the States. I can only think of two that I’ve read and reviewed that feature black characters and I’ve reviewed a lot of books! This was nice to see. It’s very much a white dominant industry, I feel. “The Flat Share” tells the story of a young woman, Tiffy who needs a house to live in, when she breaks up with her long term boyfriend, Justin. He’s ve...
