Carry On by Rainbow Rowell

I really loved this book! It was intense from the start and it jumps immediately into the action with just enough back story to it so as to not confuse the reader. I do have to say the one character I absolutely hated was Agatha. She was so much like a pawn in a game that could be moved to your liking. She was also really obnoxious and b**chy. I loved the other characters and once you hit the middle when the pieces start to fit it just flies by. I give this a 5/5 stars.

The Love That Split the World by Emily Henry

I really liked this book, but once I put it down for a couple of days it just didn't call to me to pick it back up again. I tried to continue reading it, but I just couldn't. I may pick up this book in the future and read it. I really enjoyed the concept behind the novel though. 2.5/5 stars

You Brought Me Faith by MariaLiza Navarro

I just couldn't get myself to read the book. I wasn't hooked on the first page, and the book is just to thick for my liking. It seemed to be an interesting, but I just wasn't able to get really into it. 1/5 stars

Blue Lily, Lily Blue by Maggie Stiefvater

The third book in The Raven Cycle  series. This focuses on the task of finding Blue's mother Maura. It had been a month since she last had been and the only thing Maura left behind was a note. Gansey and Blue's relationship is also being put to the test with secret late night calls and meetings. Blue begins to struggle as she tries to not kiss Gansey. She also struggles to keep her self together as they search for Maura. Along the way we get to finally meet Colin Greenmantle, Mr. Gray's employer and we get to see a couple of chapters in his POV. The end to the book is shocking as we are then reintroduced to Neeve who disappeared in the first book The Raven Boys. The final installment will be release on April 26th through Amazon.com. I can feel that the end to this series is going to shock us. The way the tension is build in this book really makes it. I do believe if this book was written any other way I would not have thoroughly enjoyed it like I have.

I give this book a 5/5 star review and high recommend the series to those who love to read.

The Dream Thieves by Maggie Stiefvater

The second book in The Raven Cycle focuses more on Ronan and his ability to pull items out of his dreams. We are also introduced to a new character called the Gray Man. As the story progresses it continues to build with intensity off the first book. I also began to pick up hints about the location of Glendower and how it ties back to Gansey. I love the character developments in this book and can't wait to read Blue Lily, Lily Blue the third book in the series. I give this a 5/5 star rating and highly recommend the series to those who have not read it. Also be on the look out because the final installment of the series The Raven King is coming out on April 26, 2016.

Paper Towns by John Green

I began reading this book at the beginning of 2016 and was really into it. I like the way it started and I like the characters, but I got farther into the book the slower it seemed to drag on. I sat the book down and never really picked it back up again. I give this a 3.5/5 star review.

Ignite by Erica Crouch

I started reading back in January during my winter break. At first I was into it but the farther I got into it the less I began to like. I found the main character Pen to be just too dramatic for my taste. Plus the font size in this was small and it caused me to have headaches when trying to read it as well. All in all I didn't like this book. I would give this a 2.5/5 star review.
