4/5

Hera can't trust Zeus, but her attraction to her husband is as strong as her hatred of him even as the city falls around them.

I loved the interludes from Hermes's perspective. It added a lot more understanding of her perspective, and I feel much more excited to see how the series will conclude with her story in Shattered Gods. Also, the acknowledgements left me stressed about what's going to happen in Shattered Gods.

4/5

With a new theory of where the Heirarch's Well may be, Kai and his allies work to ensure that no new Heirarch will be created. In the past, Kai must work to bring the dust witches into Bashasa's army as they continue their fight to defeat the Heirarchs.

I love the ways the two story entangle. We know how the war ends, but the details of what truly happened are slowly revealed through both the past and present story lines.

This was a really dark read. It was interesting but the topic is very dark. Its written both in the past and the present by both Julianne and Holly so that does allow more depth to the story. The ending was good but if I'm honest I wanted more. I would have liked to see the aftermath. The characters are not overly likeable and it becomes clear who might be worse than you're lead to believe. It works for the plot though. #Netgalley 3*

OutsmartYourShelf
The Obsession | Natasha Preston

Mehso-so

16-year-old Connie is left home alone for 2 weeks whilst her mum, Lou, & older sister, Isla, are touring colleges. Connie hates being left on her own but on the bright side, at least she will be away from her mum's vlogging schedule for the whole fortnight. Ever since Lou discovered that she could make money online, the two girls have had their entire lives put out there & it makes attending school even more of a chore. (continued)

OutsmartYourShelf Most people are ok but there are some strange comments on the videos & Connie starts to feel as if she is being watched & even followed, Then two girls are attacked, including her best friend, & as Connie was in the vicinity both times it feels like the police & her friends are starting to wonder if she is responsible.

This is your usual YA thriller which started off well but ventured into ever more unlikely territory as it went on.
4d
OutsmartYourShelf It's about the dangers of putting too much of your life online & the problems that can bring. Can I just say that Connie's friends & family SUCK! The poor girl is being stalked & her mum & sister don't want to cut their trip short, whilst her friends ditch her when she needs them most. I'm not sure there's one decent person in this apart from Connie. 4d
OutsmartYourShelf I will say that when the killer was revealed, the motive just didn't make sense to me & the ending is......something. 3⭐

My thanks to #NetGalley & publishers, Bonnier Books/Hot Key Books, for the opportunity to read an ARC.

4/5

Violet may have been a villain, but when evil adopted father dies, she has an opportunity to start over, by opening a florist shop in the town next to the castle she used to live in. But a power vacuum is tempting to other villains, and Violet may find it harder to be good than she expected.

I really enjoyed this cozy fantasy about people looking for a second chance.
