Book Review : Beautiful Darkness by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl
“She was my destination. I was always on my way to Lena, even when I wasn’t. Even when she wasn’t on her way to me.” – Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl, Beautiful Darkness
Synopsis : Together Ethan and Lena can face anything Gatlin throws at them, but after suffering a tragic loss, Lena starts to pull away, keeping secrets that test their relationship. And now that Ethan’s eyes have been opened to the darker side of Gatlin, there’s no going back. Haunted by strange visions only he can see, Ethan is pulled deeper into his town’s tangled history and finds himself caught up in the dangerous network of underground passageways endlessly crisscrossing the South, where nothing is as it seems.
In the sequel to Beautiful Creatures, Lena and Ethan find themselves dealing with the sad aftermath of the first novel. Slowly, they began to deal with the fissures and distance in their relationship, while darkness begins to close in on them. Along the way, we get introduced to a few new villains and meet a new cast (lol) of characters.

Waiting On Wednesday Vol. 4
Each week Books and Sensibility participates in Waiting on Wednesday, a meme hosted by Breaking The Spine that spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating.
Illuminate By Aimme Agresti
First of all look at that beautiful cover ! I love the subtleness to it and the way the textures fit together. The plot also looks promising. This book came on radar last week on Waiting On Wednesday so now I’m waiting to !
Synopsis : Haven Terra is a brainy, shy high school outcast. But everything begins to change when she turns sixteen. Along with her best friend Dante and their quiet and brilliant classmate Lance, she is awarded a prestigious internship in the big city— Chicago—and is sent to live and work at a swanky and stylish hotel under the watchful eyes of a group of gorgeous and shockingly young-looking strangers: powerful and alluring hotel owner Aurelia Brown; her second-in-command, the dashing Lucian Grove; and their stunning but aloof staff of glamazons called The Outfit. . . Illuminate is an exciting saga of a teen’s first taste of independence, her experience in the lap of luxury, and her discovery she may possess strength greater than she ever knew.

Book Review : City of Ashes
“Everyone has choices to make; no one has the right to take those choices away from us. Not even out of love.”
–Cassandra Clare, City of Ashes
Synopsis : Clary Fray just wishes that her life would go back to normal. But what’s normal when you’re a demon-slaying Shadowhunter, your mother is in a magically induced coma, and you can suddenly see Downworlders like werewolves, vampires, and faeries?. . .Clary’s only chance to help her mother is to track down rogue Shadowhunter Valentine. . . To complicate matters, someone in New York City is murdering Downworlder children.
Ahh, The Mortal Instruments Series . . . we meet again. As I have already said, I am not the biggest fan of this series. The plot isn’t terrible, but some of the writing drives me up the wall. Still, I keep reading them because I hate stopping in the middle of things and I did get City of Glass signedso I might as well stick around.
