Stay Sweet by Siobhan Vivian Review

Hey ForeverBookers, How are you all? Is it hot where you are? It is where I am! I’ve just finished Stay Sweet, a cute, summer contemporary standalone. Yes, that’s right, I read another standalone. This one is about an ice cream stand and the lives of the girls that run it.  3.5 Stars (4 Stars on Goodreads!) Stay Sweet is a contemporary story written in present tense that tells the story of Amelia, a Meade Creamery stand girl, in her town of Sand Lake. Amelia has been at the stand for years with her best friend Cate. This is the last summer before college for both of the girls. The Stand has been going for years, way before Amelia was born. It was founded by Molly Meade, who we meet at the beginning of the book. When Molly is found dead however, what will happen to the Creamery, the friendships of the girls that work there and the management of it? You’ll have to read to find out... I read Stay Sweet for 3 readathons. They were: My N.E.W.T’s exams  - I wa...

Wicked Queen (Royals World #2) by Geneva Lee Review

Hi ForeverBookers,  How are you all today? Hope you’re well! It’s very hot, where I am in the world!  I’ve just finished “ Wicked Queen”/“Claim Me,” Royals World book 2 by Geneva Lee and I really enjoyed it.  3.5 Stars! “Wicked Queen”/“Claim Me”  is book 2 in the Royals World trilogy, which is meant to be read after the Royals series by the same author, as it’s a progression of that series. We follow Clara, who got pregnant with the second royal baby in  “Wild King”/“Cross Me”  and is still pregnant in book 2 have to deal with the fallouts and drama of Royal life. Secrets get revealed and the tagline for the book is  “Every family has its secrets,”  which is true, certainly in this case. We have to watch the characters deal with these secrets, and it’s addictive. I think that’s the best word to describe this series.  “Wicked Queen”/“Claim Me,”  like  “Wild King”/“Cross Me”  (book 1 in the Royals World series)...

The Unhoneymooners by Christina Lauren Review

Hey ForeverBookers,  How are you all? I hope you’re all well! I’m sorry I’ve been absent for so long! I’ve been really busy over these past weeks. I’ve been reading sporadically because of this. It wasn’t  “The Unhoneymooners,”  the book I was reading by Christina Lauren’s fault, though! It was really good! I was also buddyreading it with a friend through Facebook. She enjoyed the novel just as much as I did, I think. We both thought it was a little slow in the middle for a few chapters but overall we enjoyed it very much. I’m surprised that I enjoyed it so much because I don’t normally like standalones. I would love a sequel to this, following the same characters.  4.5 Stars! As I said,  “The Unhoneymooners”  was really good. It was again quite episodic, like the last book I read but in a different way. It was like a soap opera, rather than a movie. I could see it as lots of episodes of a soap opera. The characters were written well, some...

SKY (Huntress #2) by Sarah Driver

Hi ForeverBookers,  How are you all? I hope you’re well!  I’ve just finished “Sky,” book 2 in the Huntress trilogy by Sarah Driver and oh my goodness, I loved it SOOOOOOOOO much! It’s a very episodic book. I could literally see everything playing out in my head, which I loved. 5 Stars!!!!! Spoilers below for “Sea,” book 1... “Sky” basically sets off from where “Sea,” book 1 finished. Mouse, our main character has lost her grandmother, and Captain of her ship because of an evil person, who’s trying to control the sea and the sky. Mouse needs to find answers and quickly if she’s to get things back the way they were. With her friends and little brother from “Sea,” and a few new alliances in “Sky,” can she change what’s been put in motion before it happens? You’ll need to read to find out... “Sky” is told from first person perspective. Mouse is the character’s who’s perspective we see from. It was interesting to see her grow from the young girl she was in...

Clockwork Angel (The Infernal Devices #1) by Cassandra Clare Review

Hey ForeverBookers,  How are you all doing? I hope you’re well.  I’ve just finished  “Clockwork Angel”  by Cassandra Clare and I VERY surprisingly enjoyed it. I’ve put ‘very’ in capitals because I’m surprised how much I enjoyed it. I always note this series as negative on my social medias because I hate the overall outcome in  “Clockwork Princess” , and I remember the second book,  “Clockwork Prince”  as being really boring but in this book everything happened as I’d have liked it to, this time reading it.  4 Stars! Readathons... * “ Cardcaptor-a-thon”  on Facebook (my own readathon) - https://www.facebook.com/cardcaptorathon/?modal=admin_todo_tour  - The Wood Card - A DNF book that has the potential to grow on you. I don’t DNF books but  “Clockwork Angel”  has definitely grown on me since the last time I read it. I’ve read it twice before and haven’t liked it either time that I recall, anyway -  #1 ...
