This book is fantastic!! This book is one of the most thrilling books I've ever read!! This is a dystopian novel, but the main heroine isn't one of the cliche characters you find in dystopian novels! Rachel starts strong but gets broken down and has to regain her strength rather than staying strong. She is a relatable character with a strong personality and does things that you would do if put in that situation. A fantastic book that I would recommend for anyone who likes dystopian, romance or fantasy.

Misty Falls By: Joss Stirling
This book is every genre put into one amazing story. It has romance, paranormal phenomena, mystery, conspiracy, comedy. The whole nine yards!!
The book started out strong and kept up a strong vibe. I was never bored and I wanted to read it during every free, waking moment I had. The characters were so strong and they didn't mesh together like other books. It seemed like I was reading real accounts rather than fiction. Misty was a truly relatable character and is one of the few characters people should aspire to be; honest, quirky, and confidant.
I highly recommend this book for everyone!! It will be very persuasive.

Lovely, Dark and Deep By: Amy McNamara
This book made me fall into it from chapter one. This book was beautifully written! It was a soft and sad book, but not to the point where you were bored. This book kept my attention throughout.
But there were a few things that bothered me. Although the main character, Wren, was going through a state of depression, her character still stayed a bit flat. This was supposed to be a character driven book but the character stayed the same for a lot of the book. Also the way the book ended was too open ended. I actually thought there was a sequel and was greatly disappointed to find that there wasn't.
Well written, but not perfect.
Regretful apologies
I am so sorry for not posting recently!! I've been reading less lately because school is my top priority right now. I promise I will be reviewing more often after the Christmas season!! I've not forgotten about you!!
Hugs, kisses, and Christmas wishes!!

Rise By: Anna Carey
This book was not what I expected. I was hoping for Caleb to come back earlier in the book. This book was good in the prospects of character development, but the plot was pretty flat. The end was good but I would have preferred more Caleb scenes. This book wasn't as god as I was hoping.
