 So I have 16 books in my TBR but guess what! I haven't started reading any of them because I felt the need to reread A Court of Thorns and Roses series by Sarah J. Maas. It's been a couple of years and I didn't realize how much I had forgotten 😅Love me some Inner Circle drama!

  1. Nettle and Bones by T. Kingfisher After years of seeing her sisters suffer at the hands of an abusive prince, Marra—the shy, convent-raised, third-born daughter—has finally realized that no one is coming to their rescue. No one, except for Marra herself. Seeking help from a powerful gravewitch, Marra is offered the tools to kill a prince—if she can complete three impossible tasks. But, as is the way in tales of princes, witches, and daughters, the impossible is only the beginning. On her quest, Marra is joined by the gravewitch, a reluctant fairy godmother, a strapping former knight, and a chicken possessed by a demon. Together, the five of them intend to be the hand that closes around the throat of the prince and frees Marra's family and their kingdom from its tyrannous ruler at last 2.

"Silver is a beautiful liar. She's human. And a fierce killer of the fae. She marks her kills on a silver vambrace so everyone can see her savagery and stay away. As long as she keeps protecting downtrodden humans from monstrous fae-folk, and hiding the valid reason for wearing magic-cutting silver, her loneliness is of no consequence. Selected for a high-priority mission, she bravely heads into Elphyne, never expecting one of their worst waiting for her. Wanting her. Craving her. Shade is sinfully attractive. He's a vampire. And the hardest to resist of the Fae Guardians. From the Queen's bed to The Order, he uses the power of sex to get what he wants. Eventually, they all succumb, and they all fall short of harmonizing with the darkness hidden in his soul…. until he finds the one woman who resists his every charm. Seducing Silver will be a challenge, but it's one he was made for. Nothing will get in his way. Not the evil creature terrorizing Elphyne. Not the huma

I just finished reading A Labyrinth of Fangs and Thorns, the official blurb on the book reads " Vampire Haze is the muscle of the Fae Guardians elite Cadre of Twelve. He is a spy, a protector of the weak, hammer and sword, a rigid enforcer of rules. He allows no one close to his heart, lest they see the shame driving him. But when he stumbles across a beguiling woman with sad, desolate eyes, he knows he must help her. She calls to him in more ways than one, igniting a passion neither of them can deny, despite the risks. The Unseelie Queen has other treacherous plans for Haze and Peaches. From a twisted masquerade ball to a labyrinth filled with goblins, to a secret prison deep underground, they must work together to survive. The only way out is to trust each other…easier said than done when all he wants to do is feast on her blood. A Labyrinth of Fangs and Thorns is book 5 in the Fae Guardians series, book 2 in the Season of the Vampire."(Amazon)     I liked this book but did

 1. Elantris by Brandon Sanderson      Elantris was the capital of Arelon: gigantic, beautiful, literally radiant, filled with benevolent beings who used their powerful magical abilities for the benefit of all. Yet each of these demigods was once an ordinary person until touched by the mysterious transforming power of the Shaod. Ten years ago, without warning, the magic failed. Elantrians became wizened, leper-like, powerless creatures, and Elantris itself dark, filthy, and crumbling. Arelon's new capital, Kae, crouches in the shadow of Elantris. Princess Sarene of Teod arrives for a marriage of state with Crown Prince Raoden, hoping -- based on their correspondence -- to also find love. She finds instead that Raoden has died and she is considered his widow.

  In this sixth installment of The Throne of Glass series, we get to follow along with Chaol and Nesryn as they head south to Antica in hopes to beseech the healers of the Torre to help Chaol heal from his injuries. Along with the healing they also have a mission to try and convince the rulers of Antica to send their armies North and to ally with Aelin's armies. Along with the painful healing of his, spine Chaol has to endure, he must also confront and come to terms with what had happened in his past. Only when he starts to forgive himself for the errors of that past does the healing actually begin to make a dent in the long process of repairing his spine so he can walk again. A new character we meet in Tower of Dawn is Yrene Towers, she is the healer given the responsibility of healing Chaol. A task that she does not want to take on, but urged to by her Healer on High.

  Lost and broken, a true picture of depression, Celeana must travel to a new land across the sea. All she truly wants to do is stay and avenge the brutal murder of her dear friend Nehemia.

She must face a truth to her heritage that could change her life and her future forever. Back on her own continent, evil is brewing.

  The world had been waiting for a very long time for a queen. A queen to heal that lands and punish those who selfishly ruled for so long. It was prophesized 700 hundred years ago by a black jeweled widow witch in her tangled web that a queen would come. This witch would wield more power than even the High Lord of Hell, and give him major headaches as well! The only thing is, she is young, and if she were to end up in the wrong hands, say a corrupted queen. She could be influenced to spread evil herself.

  So Celaena did it, she won the king's contest and so became the king's champion, or royal assassin. The King of Adarlan is an evil man and wields his power to intimidate. Scaring his court and his people into compliance. Those who supposedly rebel against him will find Celaena's dagger to their throats. Well, that's what the king believes anyway. Celaena is not as loyal to the crown as she pretends to be. A secret she hides from her closest allies. Trying to keep her secret becomes more deadly however when she comes across a true rebellion against the crown. Will she stomp it out before it becomes a threat? Or join with them to help destroy the dark king of Adarlan and the tyranny he beholds. Are her relationships strong enough to handle the secrets she must keep, or will they crumble apart at her fingertips? She is not the only one keeping secrets it seems, and to keep the secrets of others safe she has to face threat after threat. Will magic keep her and her friends

  I really enjoyed this book. Sabine and co. have escaped the city and are on their way to find the other faucets of power. From merpeople to lost cities of power, this book really captures the reader's imagination❣

  The book started slow and was a bit confusing the first couple of chapters. I didn't like how they introduced the characters or wasn't even sure who the main characters were going to be, I did finally get into it and am now on book 3!
