Illuminae by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff

***CONTAINS SPOILERS***
5 Stars...
I think this book is very well written. Parts of it reminded me of the show Dark Matter which is probably why I enjoyed it so much (mostly about how the AI doesn't act like normal AI's). The way story is told is in a very unique way which I think added to the enjoyment of the book. The Series is called The Illuminae Files and how the authors wrote the book was in actual file format keeping to the series title. The characters and the plot were well written. I thought the ending was decent overall, but I was really hoping for Ezra to be dead at the end. I really wanted Kady to fall in love with their AI, AIDEN. Throughout the book it seemed like AIDEN was falling in love with Kady and I really wanted to see them try to make a love between a human and an AI work. That's the only thing that disappointed me. Otherwise I loved the book. #Kaiden all the way.

Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell

***CONTAINS SPOILER***
I immediately fell in love with Cath. I could easily put myself in her shoes. The overall story was good. It kept me guessing on what was going to happen. I thought she was going to end up with Nick, but she ended up with Levi. That came to me as a shock. I didn't even suspect that Nick was just using Cath for her writing. I loved that she included excerpts of the fanfiction that Cath and Cath and Wren wrote as well as excepts of the Simon Snow books. I thought Wren was really selfish and mean as a character. Especially toward her sister. I didn't like how she would make fun of Cath for writing fanfiction and then come to find out she kept up with all the fanfiction she wrote and looked forward to it. Now Reagan is a great roommate to Cath. Supporting her, when they saw Levi making out with some random girl. As well as not allowing Levi into their room even though they are best friends because Cath asked for it.

Legendary by Stephanie Garber

This book was just as amazing as the first. I really felt like the author brought me into the game with each book. This book was different from the last one and I liked it. But it had similar qualities. I like how the author changed the main character from Scarlett to he sister Tella. The author kept me on my toes as well. I was able to guess parts of the book but other parts i was wrong about. The ending was an overall shock. But it was extraordinarily well-written and different. It made me like it even more. These books bring you into a different world. One of magic and deception. You get brought into the world of Caraval... But its only just a game.

Stardust by Neil Gaimen

***CONTAINS SPOILER***
I watched the movie before I read the book. I didn't know that there was a book for it and when I found out I was elated. I fell in love with the world of Stardust because my brother wanted to watch and we both thought it was an amazing movie. I bought the book and read it. There was so many things the movie changed or didn't cover. I didn't know that the wall was an entrance to the Realm of Faerie. Things actually made a little more sense. They allowed people over to go the market when the market was going on. These are just some examples. Overall I liked the book better then the movie. It was very well-constructed. And even though I knew the jist of what was going to happen, I still never wanted to put the book down. But I enjoyed the ending in the movie better. It had a cuter ending.

The Crown by Kiera Cass

***CONTAINS SPOILER***
I fell in love with the series at book one when America and Maxon was going through the Selection process. For an add-on series(?), I thought it was pretty amazing. Parts had me guessing what was going to happen next, but when I read "The Heir" I immediately knew that Eadlyn and Erik were going to end up falling in love and I'm glad they did. Throughout the whole series the author has made me feel like I was apart of the characters' fairy tails. She even made me want to have my own fairy tail again.

The Beast is an Animal by Peternelle van Arsdale

I thought this book was very exciting. The little poem about the Beast is eerily beautiful and charming. It gives an insight into the world that Alys lives in. It helps create it even. Each time I was sure on what was going to happen in the book I ended up being wrong or partly. I think that is part of the reason why I enjoyed it so much. It kept me on my toes. It was thrilling. When I read the book it was like a budding romance between the boo and I. The more I read it the more I fell in love with it.

Dear Reader by Mary O'Connell

The book strays between reality and fantasy. Giving into the desires of that of a bookworm who thoroughly enjoys a book and would like to enter it. It also indulges into the fangirl/fanboy of some readers. Where they not only want to live in the book but also date one of characters. Its as if fantasy becomes reality and reality becomes fantasy.

The Novice (Summoner Book 1) by Taran Matharu

I thought that this book was rather an amazing read. It sucked me into the world of summoners and I never wanted to leave. I felt all the emotions that were put on display within the book. It got me to want my own demon. It had a good overall plot, the character were well-structured, and the ending came as a surprise (and I'm glad that it did).
